摘要:
The present invention provides methods of using Bv8 and EG-VEGF polypeptides and nucleic acids to promote hematopoiesis. Also provided herein are methods of screening for modulators of Bv8 and EG-VEGF activity. Furthermore, methods of treatment using Bv8 and EG-VEGF polypeptides or Bv8 and EG-VEGF antagonists are provided.
摘要:
Modulators of angiopoietin-like 4 protein are provided along with methods for their use in the treatment of diseases and pathological conditions. Combinations of ANGPTL4 antagonists and other therapeutics, e.g., anti-cancer agents, and methods of their use in the treatment of mammals susceptible to or diagnosed with cancer, or with relapse tumor growth or relapse cancer cell growth are also provided.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to novel polypeptides and to nucleic acid molecules encoding those polypeptides. Also provided herein are vectors and host cells comprising those nucleic acid sequences, chimeric polypeptide molecules comprising the polypeptides of the present invention fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences, antibodies which bind to the polypeptides of the present invention and to methods for producing the polypeptides of the present invention.
摘要:
The present invention concerns isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding the TIE ligands NL1, NL5, NL8 and NL4, the protein encoded by such nucleic acid molecules, as well as methods and means for making and using such nucleic acid and protein molecules.
摘要:
A leukemia inhibitory factor antagonist, along or in combination with an endothelin antagonist, may be used for treatment of heart failure. The antagonist(s) are administered in a chronic fashion, in therapeutically effective amounts, to achieve this purpose.
摘要:
The present invention provides vascular endothelial cell growth factor (hVEGF) antagonists, including monoclonal antibodies, hVEGF receptors, and hVEGF variants that inhibit the mitogenic, angiogenic, or other biological activity of hVEGF. The antagonists thus are useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders characterized by undersirable or excessive endothelial cell proliferation of neovascularization. The monoclonal antibodies and receptors of the invention are also useful in diagnostic and analytical methods for determining the presence of hVEGF in a test sample.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods of using Bv8 polypeptides to induce endothelial cell proliferation and to enhance endothelial cell survival. Also provided herein are methods of screening for modulators of Bv8 activity. Further more, method of treatment using Bv8 polypeptides are provided.
