摘要:
DNA constructs useful in the production of thrombopoietin are disclosed. In general, the DNA constructs comprise a first DNA segment encoding a fusion of an amino-terminal secretory peptide joined to a thrombopoietin polypeptide and one or more additional DNA segments that provide for the transcription of the first segment. The secretory peptide is a native mammalian t-PA secretory peptide or may be modified to enhance proteolytic cleavage of the fusion. Also disclosed are cultured eukaryotic cells containing these DNA constructs and methods for producing thrombopoietin polypeptides through the use of the DNA constructs and cultured eukaryotic cells.
摘要:
The increased use of nucleotide sequence data mining techniques has amplified the demand for efficient methods of producing recombinant proteins in prokaryotic cells. A strategy is provided for enhancing the synthesis of recombinant amino acid sequences by improving translation from expression cassettes in vitro before producing recombinant hosts.
摘要:
Cytokine and their receptors have proven usefulness in both basic research, animal models, and as therapeutics. The present invention provides a new cytokine receptor designated as 'mouse Zcytor16,' which can bind and antagonize the IL-TIF cytokine.

Use of factor XIII for treating hemophilia A. A patient having hemophilia A is treated by administering factor XIII generally in conjunction with factor VIII or desmopressin.
摘要:
Antibodies, antibody fragments or single chain antibodies that specifically bind to human and mouse orthologs of the Zsig-9 secreted polypeptide are provided, the antibodies are preferably monoclonal. Also provided are methods of using the antibodies of the invention as well as in-vitro methods of diagnosing cancer in human tissues or body fluids utilising the antibodies of the invention or antisense nucleic acid sequences that specifically bind to Zsig-9 polynucleotide sequences. The invention is of particular use in diagnosing cancers such as brain tumour, liver tumour, lung tumour, esophageal tumour, stomach tumour, colon tumour, rectal tumour, thyroid tumour, or lymphoma tumour.

摘要:
Novel secreted and membrane bound tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) polypeptides, polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, antibodies and related compositions and methods are disclosed. The polypeptides may be used for detecting ligands, agonists and antagonist. The polypeptides, polynucleotides and antibodies may also be used in methods that modulate inflammation, tumor growth and metastasis, infection, immunity, and cellular maturation.
摘要:
Novel cytokine polypeptides, materials and methods for making them, and method of use are disclosed. The polypeptides comprise at least nine contiguous amino acid residues of SEQ ID NO:2 or SEQ ID NO:4, and may be prepared as polypeptide fusions comprise heterologous sequences, such as affinity tags. The polypeptides and polynucleotides encoding them may be used within a variety of therapeutic, diagnostic, and research applications.
