ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides nucleotide and amino acid sequences that identify and encode novel cellubrevins (cb). The present invention also provides for antisense molecules to the nucleotide sequences which encode cbs, expression vectors for the production of purified CBs, antibodies capable of binding specifically to CBs, hybridization probes or oligonucleotides for the detecting the induction of CB encoding nucleotide sequences, genetically engineered host cells for the expression of CBs, diagnostic tests for activated, inflamed or diseased cells and/or tissues based on CB-encoding nucleic acid molecules and antibodies capable of binding specifically to CBs.
