FIELD: medicine, pharmaceutics. n SUBSTANCE: invention refers to biotechnology, namely to leukolectins, and can be used in medicine. What is prepared is the polypeptide leukolectin characterised by SEQ ID NO:1-8. The recombinant preparation is ensured by using a nucleic acid coding it and integrated into an expression vector which is used to transform a host cell. Testing absence-presence or determining an amount of the polypeptide leukolectin are ensured by using an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment of a variable region of the above antibody which is specifically bound to the polypeptide leukolectin. The polypeptide leukolectin or the nucleic acid coding it are used as ingredients of a pharmaceutical composition in therapy of pathological disorders of skin and mucous membranes. n EFFECT: invention enables treating or preventing autoimmune disorders of skin, inflammatory diseases of skin or mucous membrane, or injured skin in an animal effectively. n 16 cl, 19 dwg, 3 tbl, 12 ex |
