摘要:
The present invention provides methods and agents for the treatment of TWEAK-related conditions, including cardiac, liver, kidney, lung, adipose, skeletal, muscle, neuronal, bone and cartilage conditions. The invention also provides methods for identifying TWEAK agonists or antagonists for the treatment of TWEAK-related conditions. Additionally, the invention provides transgenic animals that express an exogenous DNA encoding a TWEAK polypeptide, or fragments, analogs, or muteins thereof, and methods for using such animals to identify TWEAK agonists or antagonists. The invention further provides methods for diagnosing a disease based on TWEAK expression. The invention also provides methods for affecting cellular differentiation of progenitor cells using TWEAK polypeptides, agonists, or antagonists.

摘要:
The present invention provides methods and compositions for inhibiting rejection of insulin-producing tissue in a graft recipient, as well as methods and compositions for prolonging graft survival or function. The present invention further proves methods for reversing graft rejection or restoring function of an impaired graft and for inducing immunological tolerance to grafted, insulin-producing tissue. The present methods and compositions are suitable for treatment or prophylaxis of defects in metabolic control of blood glucose homeostasis, including defects manifested as diabetes melitus (DM).
