Abstract:
Methods are provided for the preparation in recombinant host cells of biologically active soluble variants of discretely encoded, heteromultimer polypeptide receptors. Such variants are synthesized by the secretion from recombinant transformants of transmembrane-modified heteromultimer receptors. Preferred receptors are extracellular matrix, cell surface, or plasma protein-binding receptors such as GPIIb-IIIa.
