本发明还涉及与以上所描述的序列杂交的多核苷酸 （两个序列之间具有至 少 50%， 优选具有 70%的相同性） 。 本发明特别涉及在严格条件下与本发明所 述多核苷酸可杂交的多核苷酸。 在本发明中， "严格条件" 是指： （1)在较低 离子强度和较高温度下的杂交和洗脱， 如 0. 2xSSC, 0. 1%SDS, 60。C ;或（2)杂交 时加用变性剂， 如 50% (v/v)甲酰胺， 0. 1%小牛血清 /0. l%Fico l l， 42 °C等; 或 (3)仅在两条序列之间的相同性至少在 95%以上，更好是 97%以上时才发生杂 交。 并且， 可杂交的多核苷酸编码的多肽与 SEQ ID NO: 2 所示的成熟多肽有 相同的生物学功能和活性。

上述提到的方法中， 分离基因组 DNA 最不常用。 DM序列的直接化学合成 是经常选用的方法。 更经常选用的方法是 cDNA序列的分离。 分离感兴趣的 cDNA 的标准方法是从高表达该基因的供体细胞分离 mRNA 并进行逆转录， 形成质粒 或噬菌体 cDNA文库。 提取 mRNA的方法已有多种成熟的技术， 试剂盒也可从商 业途径获得（Qiagene)。 而构建 cDNA 文库也是通常的方法（Sambrook, et al.， Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manua l, Cold Spr ing Harbor Laboratory. New York, 1989)。还可得到商业供应的 cDNA文库，如 Clontech公司的不同 cDNA 文库。 当结合使用聚合酶反应技术时， 即使极少的表达产物也能克隆。
可用常规方法从这些 cDNA 文库中筛选本发明的基因。 这些方法包括（但不 限于）： （l) DNA- DNA 或 DNA-RNA 杂交； （2)标志基因功能的出现或丧失； （3)测 定细胞因子信号抑制因子 SOCS-5-29 的转录本的水平； （4)通过免疫学技术或 测定生物学活性， 来检测基因表达的蛋白产物。 上述方法可单用， 也可多种方 法联合应用。
在第（1)种方法中， 杂交所用的探针是与本发明的多核苷酸的任何一部分 同源， 其长度至少 10个核苷酸， 较好是至少 30个核苷酸， 更好是至少 50个 核苷酸， 最好是至少 100 个核苷酸。 此外， 探针的长度通常在 2000 个核苷酸 之内， 较佳的为 1000 个核苷酸之内。 此处所用的探针通常是在本发明的基因 序列信息的基础上化学合成的 DNA序列。 本发明的基因本身或者片段当然可以 用作探针。 DM探针的标记可用放射性同位素， 荧光素或酶（如碱性磷酸酶）等。
在第（4)种方法中， 检测细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS- 5-29 基因表达的蛋 白产物可用免疫学技术如 Wes tern 印迹法、 放射免疫沉淀法、 酶联免疫吸附法 (ELISA)等。
应 用 PCR 技术 扩增 DNA/RNA 的 方 法 （Sa iki, et a l. Science 1985; 230: 1350-1354)被优选用于获得本发明的基因。 特别是很难从文库中得 到全长的 cDNA时，可优选使用 RACE法（RACE - cDNA末端快速扩增法）,用于 PCR 的引物可根据本文所公开的本发明的多核苷酸序列信息适当地选择， 并可用常 规方法合成。 可用常规方法如通过凝胶电泳分离和纯化扩增的 DNA/RNA片段。

本发明也涉及包含本发明的多核苷酸的载体， 以及用本发明的载体或直接 用细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS- 5-29 编码序列经基因工程产生的宿主细胞， 以 及经重组技术产生本发明所述多肽的方法。
本发明中， 编码细胞因子信号抑制因子 SOCS-5-29 的多核苷酸序列可插入 到载体中， 以构成含有本发明所述多核苷酸的重组载体。 术语 "载体" 指本领 域熟知的细菌质粒、 噬菌体、 酵母质粒、 植物细胞病毒、 哺乳动物细胞病毒如 腺病毒、 逆转录病毒或其它载体。 在本发明中适用的载体包括但不限于： 在细 菌中表达的基于 T7 启动子的表达载体（Rosenberg, et al. Gene, 1987, 56: 125) ; 在哺乳动物细胞中表达的 pMSXND表达载体（Lee and Nathans, J Bio Chem. 263: 3521， 1988)和在昆虫细胞中表达的来源于杆状病毒的载体。 总之， 只要能在宿主体内复制和稳定， 任何质粒和载体都可以用于构建重组表达载 体。 表达载体的一个重要特征是通常含有复制起始点、 启动子、 标记基因和翻 译调控元件。
本领域的技术人员熟知的方法能用于构建含编码细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS-5-29的 DM序列和合适的转录 /翻译调控元件的表达载体。 这些方法包括 体外重组 DNA 技术、 DNA 合成技术、 体内重组技术等（Sambroook, et a l. Molecular Cloning, a Laboratory Manua l, Cold Spr ing Harbor Laboratory. New York, 1989)。 所述的 DNA序列可有效连接到表达载体中的适当启动子上， 以指导 mRNA合成。 这些启动子的代表性例子有： 大肠杆菌的 lac或 trp启动 子； λ噬菌体的 PL启动子； 真核启动子包括 CMV立即早期启动子、 HSV胸苷激 酶启动子、 早期和晚期 SV40启动子、 反转录病毒的 LTRs和其它一些已知的可 控制基因在原核细胞或真核细胞或其病毒中表达的启动子。 表达载体还包括翻 译起始用的核糖体结合位点和转录终止子等。 在载体中插入增强子序列将会使 其在高等真核细胞中的转录得到增强。 增强子是 DNA表达的顺式作用因子， 通 常大约有 10 到 300 个碱基对， 作用于启动子以增强基因的转录。 可举的例子 包括在复制起始点晚期一侧的 100 到 270个碱基对的 SV40增强子、 在复制起 始点晚期一侧的多瘤增强子以及腺病毒增强子等。
此外， 表达载体优选地包含一个或多个选择性标记基因， 以提供用于选择 转化的宿主细胞的表型性状， 如真核细胞培养用的二氢叶酸还原酶、 新霉素抗 性以及绿色荧光蛋白（GFP)， 或用于大肠杆菌的四环素或氨苄青霉素抗性等。

本发明中， 编码细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS- 5- 29 的多核苷酸或含有该多 核苷酸的重组载体可转化或转导入宿主细胞， 以构成含有该多核苷酸或重组载 体的基因工程化宿主细胞。 术语 "宿主细胞" 指原核细胞， 如细菌细胞； 或是 低等真核细胞， 如酵母细胞； 或是高等真核细胞， 如哺乳动物细胞。 代表性例 子有： 大肠杆菌， 链霉菌属； 细菌细胞如鼠伤寒沙门氏菌； 真菌细胞如酵母； 植物细胞； 昆虫细胞如果蝇 S2或 Sf 9; 动物细胞如 CH0、 COS或 Bowes黑素瘤 细胞等。

本发明也提供了筛选化合物以鉴定提高（激动剂）或阻遏（拮抗剂）细胞因子 信号抑制因子 SOCS-5-29 的药剂的方法。 激动剂提高细胞因子信号抑制因子 SOCS-5-29 刺激细胞增殖等生物功能， 而拮抗剂阻止和治疗与细胞过度增殖有 关的紊乱如各种癌症。 例如， 能在药物的存在下， 将哺乳动物细胞或表达细胞 因子信号抑制因子 S0CS- 5-29 的膜制剂与标记的细胞因子信号抑制因子 SOCS- 5-29一起培养。 然后测定药物提高或阻遏此相互作用的能力。
细胞因子信号抑制因子 SOCS-5-29 的拮抗剂包括筛选出的抗体、 化合物、 受体缺失物和类似物等。 细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS- 5-29 的拮抗剂可以与细 胞因子信号抑制因子 SOCS- 5-29 结合并消除其功能， 或是抑制该多肽的产生， 或是与该多肽的活性位点结合使该多肽不能发挥生物学功能。
在筛选作为拮抗剂的化合物时， 可以将细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS-5- 29 加入生物分析测定中， 通过测定化合物对细胞因子信号抑制因子 SOCS-5-29 和 其受体之间相互作用的影响来确定化合物是否是拮抗剂。 用上述筛选化合物的 同样方法， 可以筛选出起拮抗剂作用的受体缺失物和类似物。 能与细胞因子信 号抑制因子 S0CS-5- 29 结合的多肽分子可通过筛选由各种可能组合的氨基酸结 合于固相物组成的随机多肽库而获得。 筛选时， 一般应对细胞因子信号抑制因 子 S0CS-5-29分子进行标记。

Pa t No. 4946778) 也可用于生产抗细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS-5-29的单链抗体。
抗细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS- 5-29 的抗体可用于免疫组织化学技术中， 检测活检标本中的细胞因子信号抑制因子 SOCS-5-29。
与细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS- 5-29 结合的单克隆抗体也可用放射性同位 素标记， 注入体内可跟踪其位置和分布。 这种放射性标记的抗体可作为一种非 创伤性诊断方法用于肿瘤细胞的定位和判断是否有转移。
抗体还可用于设计针对体内某一特殊部位的免疫毒素。 如细胞因子信号抑 制因子 S0CS-5-29 高亲和性的单克隆抗体可与细菌或植物毒素（如白喉毒素， 蓖麻蛋白， 红豆碱等）共价结合。 一种通常的方法是用巯基交联剂如 SPDP, 攻 击抗体的氨基， 通过二硫键的交换， 将毒素结合于抗体上， 这种杂交抗体可用 于杀灭细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS-5- 29阳性的细胞。 本发明中的抗体可用于治疗或预防与细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS-5- 29相 关的疾病。 给予适当剂量的抗体可以刺激或阻断细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS- 5-29的产生或活性。
本发明还涉及定量和定位检测细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS- 5-29 水平的诊 断试验方法。 这些试验是本领域所熟知的， 且包括 FISH 测定和放射免疫测定。 试验中所检测的细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS-5-29 水平， 可以用作解释细胞因 子信号抑制因子 S0CS- 5- 29 在各种疾病中的重要性和用于诊断细胞因子信号抑 制因子 S0CS-5- 29起作用的疾病。
本发明的多肽还可用作肽谱分析， 例如， 多肽可用物理的、 化学或酶进行 特异性切割， 并进行一维或二维或三维的凝胶电泳分析，更好的是进行质谱分 析。
编码细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS-5- 29 的多核苷酸也可用于多种治疗目 的。 基因治疗技术可用于治疗由于细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS-5- 29 的无表达 或异常 /无活性表达所致的细胞增殖、发育或代谢异常。重组的基因治疗载体 (如 病毒载体)可设计用于表达变异的细胞因子信号抑制因子 SOCS-5-29 , 以抑制内 源性的细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS- 5 - 29 活性。 例如， 一种变异的细胞因子信 号抑制因子 S0CS- 5-29 可以是缩短的、 缺失了信号传导功能域的细胞因子信号 抑制因子 SOCS-5-29 , 虽可与下游的底物结合， 但缺乏信号传导活性。 因此， 重组的基因治疗载体可用于治疗细胞因子信号抑制因子 SOCS-5-29 表达或活性 异常所致的疾病。 来源于病毒的表达载体如逆转录病毒、 腺病毒、 腺病毒相关 病毒、 单纯疱疹病毒、 细小病毒等可用于将编码细胞因子信号抑制因子 SOCS- 5-29 的多核苷酸转移至细胞内。 构建携带编码细胞因子信号抑制因子 SOCS-5- 29 的多核苷酸的重组病毒载体的方法可见于已有文献（Sambrook, et a l. )。 另 外， 重组编码细胞因子信号抑制因子 SOCS-5-29 的多核苷酸可包装到脂质体中 转移至细胞内。
多核苷酸导入组织或细胞内的方法包括： 将多核苷酸直接注入到体内组织 中； 或在体外通过载体（如病毒、 噬菌体或质粒等）先将多核苷酸导入细胞中， 再将细胞移植到体内等。
抑制细胞因子信号抑制因子 SOCS-5-29 raRNA的寡核苷酸 (包括反义 RNA和 DNA)以及核酶也在本发明的范围之内。 核酶是一种能特异性分解特定 R 的酶 样 RNA分子， 其作用机制是核酶分子与互补的靶 RNA特异性杂交后进行核酸内 切作用。 反义的 RNA和 DNA及核酶可用已有的任何 RNA或 D 合成技术获得， 如固相磷酸酰胺化学合成法合成寡核苷酸的技术已广泛应用。 反义 RNA 分子可 通过编码该 RNA的 D 序列在体外或体内转录获得。 这种 DNA序列已整合到载 体的 RNA 聚合酶启动子的下游。 为了增加核酸分子的稳定性， 可用多种方法对 其进行修饰， 如增加两侧的序列长度， 核糖核苷之间的连接应用磷酸硫酯键或 肽键而非磷酸二酯键。
编码细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS-5-29 的多核苷酸可用于与细胞因子信号 抑制因子 SOCS-5-29的相关疾病的诊断。编码细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS- 5-29 的多核苷酸可用于检测细胞因子信号抑制因子 SOCS-5-29 的表达与否或在疾病 状态下细胞因子信号抑制因子 SOCS-5-29 的异常表达。 如编码细胞因子信号抑 制因子 S0CS-5-29 的 DNA序列可用于对活检标本进行杂交以判断细胞因子信号 抑制因子 S0CS-5-29 的表达状况。 杂交技术包括 Southern 印迹法 4 Northern 印迹法、 原位杂交等。 这些技术方法都是公开的成熟技术， 相关的试剂盒都可 从商业途径得到。 本发明的多核苷酸的一部分或全部可作为探针固定在微阵列 (Microarray)或 DNA 芯片（又称为 "基因芯片" ）上， 用于分析组织中基因的差 异表达分析和基因诊断。 用细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS-5-29 特异的引物进行 RNA-聚合酶链反应（RT-PCR)体外扩增也可检测细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS - 5- 29的转录产物。
检测细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS-5- 29基因的突变也可用于诊断细胞因子 信号抑制因子 S0CS-5- 29相关的疾病。 细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS-5- 29突变 的形式包括与正常野生型细胞因子信号抑制因子 SOCS-5-29 DNA 序列相比的点 突变、 易位、 缺失、 重组和其它任何异常等。 可用已有的技术如 Southern 印 迹法、 DM 序列分析、 PCR 和原位杂交检测突变。 另外， 突变有可能影响蛋白 的表达， 因此用 Northern印迹法、 Western印迹法可间接判断基因有无突变。
本发明的序列对染色体鉴定也是有价值的。 该序列会特异性地针对某条人 染色体具体位置并且可以与其杂交。 目前， 需要鉴定染色体上的各基因的具体 位点。 现在， 只有很少的基于实际序列数据（重复多态性）的染色体标记物可用 于标记染色体位置。 根据本发明， 为了将这些序列与疾病相关基因相关联， 其 重要的第一步就是将这些 DM序列定位于染色体上。
简而言之， 根据 cDNA制备 PCR引物（优选 15- 35bp) , 可以将序列定位于染色 体上。 然后， 将这些引物用于 PCR筛选含各条人染色体的体细胞杂合细胞。 只 有那些含有相应于引物的人基因的杂合细胞会产生扩增的片段。
体细胞杂合细胞的 PCR定位法， 是将 DNA定位到具体染色体的快捷方法。 使 用本发明的寡核苷酸引物， 通过类似方法， 可利用一组来自特定染色体的片段 或大量基因组克隆而实现亚定位。 可用于染色体定位的其它类似策略包括原位 杂交、 用标记的流式分选的染色体预筛选和杂交预选， 从而构建染色体特异的 cDNA库。
将 cD 克隆与中期染色体进行荧光原位杂交（FISH) , 可以在一个步骤中精 确地进行染色体定位。此技术的综述参见 Verma等， Human Chromosomes: a Manual of Bas ic Techniques, Pergamon Press, New York (1988)。
一旦序列被定位到准确的染色体位置， 此序列在染色体上的物理位置就可 以与基因图数据相关联。 这些数据可见于 V. Mckus ick, Mendel ian Inher i tance in Man (可通过与 Johns Hopkins Univers i ty Welch Medical Library联机获 得）。 然后可通过连锁分析， 确定基因与业巳定位到染色体区域上的疾病之间 的关系。
接着， 需要测定患病和未患病个体间的 cD 或基因组序列差异。 如果在一 些或所有的患病个体中观察到某突变， 而该突变在任何正常个体中未观察到， 则该突变可能是疾病的病因。 比较患病和未患病个体， 通常涉及首先寻找染色 体中结构的变化， 如从染色体水平可见的或用基于 cDNA序列的 PCR可检测的缺 失或易位。 根据目前的物理作图和基因定位技术的分辨能力， 被精确定位至与 疾病有关的染色体区域的 cDM, 可以是 50至 500个潜在致病基因间之一种（假定 1兆碱基作图分辨能力和每 20kb对应于一个基因）。
可以将本发明的多肽、 多核苷酸及其模拟物、 激动剂、 拮抗剂和抑制剂与 合适的药物载体组合后使用。 这些载体可以是水、 葡萄糖、 乙醇、 盐类、 缓冲 液、 甘油以及它们的组合。 组合物包含安全有效量的多肽或拮抗剂以及不影响 药物效果的载体和赋形剂。 这些组合物可以作为药物用于疾病治疗。
本发明还提供含有一种或多种容器的药盒或试剂盒， 容器中装有一种或多 种本发明的药用组合物成分。 与这些容器一起， 可以有由制造、 使用或销售药 品或生物制品的政府管理机构所给出的指示性提示， 该提示反映出生产、 使用 或销售的政府管理机构许可其在人体上施用。 此外， 本发明的多肽可以与其它 的治疗化合物结合使用。
药物组合物可以以方便的方式给药， 如通过局部、 静脉内、 腹膜内、 肌内、 皮下、 鼻内或皮内的给药途径。 细胞因子信号抑制因子 S0CS-5- 29 以有效地治 疗和 /或预防具体的适应症的量来给药。 施用于患者的细胞因子信号抑制因子 SOCS-5-29 的量和剂量范围将取决于许多因素， 如给药方式、 待治疗者的健康 条件和诊断医生的判断。 实施例

从本发明的多核苷酸中挑选出合适的寡核苷酸片段用作杂交探针有多方面的 用途， 如用该探针可与不同来源的正常组织或病理组织的基因组或 cDNA文库杂交 以鉴定其是否含有本发明的多核苷酸序列和检出同源的多核苷酸序列，进一步还可 用该探针检测本发明的多核苷酸序列或其同源的多核苷酸序列在正常组织或病理 组织细胞中的表达是否异常。
本实施例的目的是从本发明的多核苷酸 SEQ ID NO: 1中挑选出合适的寡核苷 酸片段用作杂交探针， 并用滤膜杂交方法鉴定一些组织中是否含有本发明的多核 苷酸序列或其同源的多核苷酸序列。 滤膜杂交方法包括斑点印迹法、 Southern 印 迹法、 Northern 印迹法和复印方法等， 它们都是将待测的多核苷酸样品固定在滤 膜上后使用基本相同的步骤杂交。 这些相同的步骤是： 固定了样品的滤膜首先用 不含探针的杂交缓冲液进行预杂交， 以使滤膜上样品的非特异性的结合部位被载 体和合成的多聚物所饱和。 然后预杂交液被含有标记探针的杂交缓冲液替换， 并 保温使探针与靶核酸杂交。 杂交步骤之后， 未杂交上的探针被一系列洗膜步骤除 掉。 本实施例利用较高强度的洗膜条件（如较低盐浓度和较高的温度）， 以使杂交 背景降低且只保留特异性强的信号。 本实施例选用的探针包括两类： 第一类探针 是完全与本发明的多核苷酸 SEQ ID NO: 1相同或互补的寡核苷酸片段； 第二类探 针是部分与本发明的多核苷酸 SEQ ID NO: 1相同或互补的寡核苷酸片段。 本实施 例选用斑点印迹法将样品固定在滤膜上， 在较高强度的的洗膜条件下， 第一类探 针与样品的杂交特异性最强而得以保留。
一、 探针的选用
从本发明的多核苷酸 SEQ ID NO: 1中选择寡核苷酸片段用作杂交探针， 应遵 循以下原则和需要考虑的几个方面：
1 , 探针大小优选范围为 18-50个核苷酸；
2 , GC含量为 30%- 70»/»， 超过则非特异性杂交增加；
3, 探针内部应无互补区域；
4, 符合以上条件的可作为初选探针， 然后进一步作计算机序列分析， 包括将 该初选探针分别与其来源序列区域 （即 SEQ ID NO: 1 ) 和其它已知的基因组序列 及其互补区进行同源性比较， 若与非靶分子区域的同源性大于 85%或者有超过 15 个连续碱基完全相同， 则该初选探针一般就不应该使用；
5， 初选探针是否最终选定为有实际应用价值的探针还应进一步由实验确定。 完成以上各方面的分析后挑选并合成以下二个探针： 探针 1 (probel), 属于第一类探针， 与 SEQ ID NO: 1 的基因片段完全同源 或互补 (41Nt):
5-TGGAAGAAAATATAAACTGTTTCTCACATACCAATGTTCAG-3' (SEQ ID NO: 8 ) 探针 2 ( probe2 ), 属于第二类探针， 相当于 SEQ ID NO: 1 的基因片段或其 互补片段的替换突变序列 （41Nt):
