摘要:
Disclosed is a newly identified secreted molecule, identified herein as “monocyte, granulocyte, and dendritic cell colony stimulating factor” (MGD-CSF), the polypeptide sequence, and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptide sequence. Also provided is a procedure for producing the polypeptide by recombinant techniques employing, for example, vectors and host cells. Additionally, procedures are described to modify the disclosed novel molecules of the invention to prepare fusion molecules. Also disclosed are methods for using the polypeptides and active fragments thereof for treatment of a variety of diseases, including, for example, cancer, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, infectious diseases, and recurrent pregnancy loss.
摘要:
The present invention relates to in vitro methods for stimulating, or increasing a population of, immune cells comprising using compositions which comprise a substantially pure polypeptide comprising a first amino acid sequence having at least about 70% homology to a sequence selected from SEQ. ID. NOs:7, 8, 9, and 11; or a biologically active fragment of any of these, wherein said polypeptide or fragment thereof can stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of granulocytes, monocytes, or dendritic cells; and to the use of these polypeptides in methods of treatment

摘要:
The invention provides FGFR fusion proteins, methods of making them, and methods of using them to treat proliferative disorders, including cancers and disorders of angiogenesis. The FGFR fusion molecules can be made in CHO cells and may comprise deletion mutations in the extracellular domains of the FGFRs which improve their stability. These fusion proteins inhibit the growth and viability of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. The combination of the relatively high affinity of these receptors for their ligand FGFs and the demonstrated ability of these decoy receptors to inhibit tumor growth is an indication of the clinical value of the compositions and methods provided herein.
摘要:
The present invention relates to therapeutic uses of ErbB ligands, including betacellulin. The therapeutic uses include methods of using ErbB ligand family compounds alone, or in conjunction with other agents, for reducing blood glucose levels, treating Type I and Type II diabetes, obesity, muscle wasting diseases, and cardiotoxicity.
