Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein are novel proteins that have reduced binding to the interleukin-7 receptor, compositions containing such proteins, and methods of using the same.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An isolated IL-7 mutant protein, derived from a wild type IL-7 protein having the amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:7, having an amino acid substitution at site T97, wherein the IL-7 mutant protein has reduced binding to an IL-7 receptor compared to binding of the wild type IL-7 protein to the IL-7 receptor. 2. The IL-7 mutant protein of claim 1 , wherein the binding of the IL-7 mutant protein to the IL-7 receptor causes an attenuated signal by the receptor. 3. The IL-7 mutant protein of claim 1 , wherein the T97 is substituted with valine. 4. A composition comprising the IL-7 mutant protein of claim 1 . 5. The composition of claim 4 , wherein the T97 of the IL-7 mutant protein is substituted with valine. 6. The composition of claim 4 , further comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 7. An isolated nucleic acid encoding an IL-7 mutant protein derived from a wild type of IL-7 protein having the amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:7, having an amino acid substitution at site T97, wherein the IL-7 mutant protein has reduced binding to an IL-7 receptor compared to binding of the wild type IL-7 protein to the IL-7 receptor. 8. The isolated nucleic acid of claim 7 , comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:3. 9. A vector comprising the nucleic acid of claim 7 or claim 8 . 10. An isolated host cell comprising the nucleic acid of claim 7 or claim 8 .
