ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides purified and isolated polynucleotide sequences encoding human plasma platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase. Also provided are materials and methods for the recombinant production of platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase products which are expected to be useful in regulating pathological inflammatory events. Furthermore provided are therapeutic and diagnostic methods using such polynucleotide sequences and platelet-activating factor acethylhydrolase products.
