摘要:
The present invention relates to a substance specific to human PD-1 comprising a part that recognizes human PD-1, a part that recognizes a membrane protein in cell membrane of human PD-1-expressing cells, and linkers. Since the substance specific to human PD-1 selectively can recognize human PD-1 and a membrane protein on cell membrane of human PD-1-expressing cells and can transmit inhibitory signal of human PD-1, it is useful for therapy and/or prevention of diseases caused by immunopathy.
摘要:
The present invention relates to human, rat and mouse stem cell-derived neuron survival factor polypeptides (SDNSF), a process for producing them, cDNA encoding SDNSF, a vector comprising the cDNA, host cells transformed by the vector, an antibody against SDNSF, pharmaceutical compositions containing SDNSF or the antibody, a method of assaying SDNSF, a reagent for assaying SDNSF, and a screening method using SDNSF. The polypeptides are effective in the survival of nerve cells and, therefore, efficacious in treating injury to the central nerve system caused by brain infarction, brain hemorrhage, spinal cord injury, etc.
摘要:
The invention discloses a useful and novel factor (polypeptide) which plays an important role for morbid vascular smooth muscle in restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronany angioplasty (PTCA) and arterial sclerosis in the field of cardiovascular system.
摘要:
Genes encoding novel proteins named AID (Activation-Induced cytidine Deaminase) are described. The AID proteins are structurally related to APOBEC-1, an RNA editing enzyme, and have a cytidine deaminase activity similar to APOBEC-1. The AID genes were found by preparing cDNA libraries from mouse B cell clone CH12F3-2 (which undergoes class switch recombination from IgM to IgA at an extremely high rate after activation of the cells by stimulation with cytokines), with and without stimulation with cytokines, and performing subtraction cloning using the libraries.

摘要:
A polypeptide prepared from mouse ES cell strains by the SST method and a homologous polypeptide obtained from mouse kidney, human uterus, mouse fetus, human fetal liver and pancreas libraries; a cDNA encoding the polypeptide; a fragment selectively hybridizing with the sequence of the cDNA; a replication or expression plasmid containing the cDNA integrated thereinto; a host cell transformed with plasmid; an antibody against the polypeptide; and a pharmaceutical composition containing the polypeptide or the antibody.
摘要:
