ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an isolated polypeptide consisting of amino acids 1-66 of the human tyrosine kinase, Lyn A, in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and an isolated polypeptide consisting of amino acids 1-45 of the human tyrosine kinase, Lyn B, in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The present invention also provides isolated nucleic acids encoding the above-described amino acid sequences, as well as vectors comprising the nucleic acids and cells comprising the vectors. The present invention further provides a method of treating or preventing an allergic disorder in a subject, comprising administering any of the above nucleic acids to a cell of the subject under conditions whereby the nucleic acid is expressed in the subject's cells, thereby treating the allergic disorder. Additionally provided in this invention is a fusion protein comprising either a polypeptide consisting of amino acids 1-66 of the human tyrosine kinase, Lyn A or a polypeptide consisting of amino acids 1-45 of the human tyrosine kinase, Lyn B and a ligand which binds to and is internalized by cells which express a high affinity receptor for IgE on the surface. A method of treating or preventing an allergic disorder in a subject is also provided, comprising administering an effective amount of the above fusion protein to a cell of the subject, whereby the fusion protein treats the subject's allergic disorder.
