ABSTRACT:
Human TNF muteins having higher binding affinity for human p75-TNF receptor than for human p55-TNF receptor include muteins having at least one different amino acid relative to wild-type human TNF at a position corresponding to position 33, 65, 67, 75, 87, 143, 145 or 147 of the wild-type amino acid sequence.
