摘要:
The invention provides novel DNA and peptide sequences encoding a family of phospholipase A.sub.2 enzymes, with specific activities of approximately 20 .mu.mol/min/mg in the mixed micelle assay. These enzymes are useful in methods for detecting the anti-inflammatory potential of various chemical agents. The invention also details novel methods for determining such potential using the novel sequences, methods for making the novel peptides, and methods for developing new anti-inflammatory drugs.

摘要:
The invention provides a novel calcium-independent cytosolic phospholipase A.sub.2 /B enzyme, polynucleotides encoding such enzyme and methods for screening unknown compounds for anti-inflammatory activity mediated by the arachidonic acid cascade.
摘要:
Provided are porcine factor VIII nucleotide sequences and hybrid sequences encoding human/porcine chimeric factor VIII-type procoagulant proteins. DNAs encoding such chimeric factor VIII-type procoagulant proteins, pharmaceutical compositions containing such chimeric factor VIII-type procoagulant proteins, and methods of treating hemophilia using such chimeric factor VIII-type procoagulant proteins are also provided.
摘要:
A novel method of screening for novel secreted mammalian proteins is described in which mammalian secretory leader sequences are detected using the yeast invertase gene as a reporter system.
摘要:
A formulation is disclosed comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable admixture of an osteogenic protein and a sponge of porous particulate polymer matrix. The sponge may be prepared by treating the porous particulate polymer matrix with a suitable fusing material such as ethanol and a surfactant such as a polysorbate.
摘要:
A process for increasing the yield of recombinant bone-inducing proteins of the BMP-2 family is provided, wherein dextran sulfate is added to the culture medium in which cells expressing the proteins are grown.
摘要:
A method for detecting the presence of small mounts of contaminant DNA, present in an amount of at least about 0.1 picogram of DNA, in a protein product produced by recombinant DNA technology. The method comprises using oligonucleotides with sequences directed to those of repetitive host cell line DNA sequences, as primers in a PCR reaction. Also disclosed are kits for the detection of small amounts of contaminant DNA in a protein product.
摘要:
Methods are presented for improving the lipoprotein cholesterol profile of a mammal. Methods are also presented for removing atherosclerotic lesions from a mammal that has such lesions. The methods comprise administering to the mammal a therapeutic amount of an M-CSF protein in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
