ABSTRACT:
Binding polypeptides comprising specific amino acid sequences are disclosed that bind B Lymphocyte Stimulator (BLyS) protein or BLyS-like polypeptides. The binding polypeptides can be used in methods of the invention for detecting or isolating BLyS protein or BLyS-like polypeptides in solutions or mixtures, such as blood, tissue samples, or conditioned media.
