Novel polynucleotides and uses therefor

   
   

The present invention discloses the genomic structure and sequence of DCAL. It also provides methods for producing a genetically modified non-human animal model having altered DCAL gene function as well as methods for using this model in the study of the immune system, and particularly DC function, and in screening for biologically active agents that modulate DCAL function. The present invention also discloses the use of such modulatory agents in methods for modulating immune responses, and in compositions for treating and/or preventing DCAL-related conditions. Also disclosed is the use of the genetically modified non-human animal model of the invention in the study of brain physiology and more particularly neuronal cell function.

A invenção atual divulga a estrutura e a seqüência genomic de DCAL. Fornece também métodos produzindo um modelo animal non-human genetically modificado que altera a função do gene de DCAL as.well.as métodos para usar este modelo no estudo do sistema imune, e particularmente da função da C.C., e em selecionar para os agentes biològica ativos que modulam a função de DCAL. A invenção atual divulga também o uso de tais agentes modulatory nos métodos para modular respostas imunes, e nas composições para tratar e/ou impedir condições de DCAL-related. É divulgado também o uso do modelo animal non-human genetically modificado da invenção no estudo do physiology do cérebro e mais particularmente da função neuronal da pilha.
