ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a human Tumor Necrosis Factor mutein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof having selective binding affinity for the human p55-Tumor-Necrosis-Factor-Receptor characterized in that the amino acid sequence of human Tumor Necrosis Factor is changed at least at position 86 having a threonine instead of a serine residue, a DNA sequence coding for such a mutein, a vector comprising such a DNA sequence, and a host cell transformed by such a vector.
