ABSTRACT:
The present invention concerns a member of the human chemokine CC protein family. In particular isolated nucleic acid molecules are provided encoding the chemokine .beta.-15 protein. Chemokine .beta.-15 polypeptides are also provided. The invention further concerns diagnostic methods for detecting thymus disorders and therapeutic methods for modulating bone marrow cell proliferation and differentiation.
