摘要:
An oil body carrier, its uses in target therapy and/or detection, and a fusion protein comprised therein are provided. The oil body carrier comprises:a) the fusion protein, comprising an oil body protein and a ligand peptide, an antibody peptide, a cell penetrating peptide, or combinations thereof, andb) a lipid,wherein the weight/volume (μg/μl) ratio of the fusion protein and the lipid is at least about 1/25, and the average particle size of the oil body carrier is about 10 nm to about 2,000 nm.
摘要:
Disclosed are treatment agents and methods of treatment utilizing the agents directed toward diseases in which the disease causing pathogen includes α6β1 integrin receptors and/or α6β4 integrin receptors on the surface of the pathogen. In one embodiment, the disease can be breast cancer. The therapeutic agents disclosed include a polypeptide comprising at least a portion of the G domain of the laminin-5 α3 chain that has been shown to bind α6β1 integrin receptors and α6β4 integrin receptors. In one embodiment, the therapeutic agents can be fused or chimeric materials in which the laminin-5 α3 chain polypeptide has been chemically bound to another material that can be useful in the destruction or neutralization of the pathogen.
摘要:
The present invention provides αVβ3 integrin cysteine loop domain agonists and antagonists (including peptide agonists and antagonists and analogs thereof), along with methods of using the same.
摘要:
A method for the identification of a modulator of the interaction between latency asssociated peptide (LAP) of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and the integrin avb3, which method comprises: (a) providing, as a first component, LAP-β1 or a functional variant thereof (b) providing, as a second component, integrin avb3 or a functional variant thereof (c) contacting the two components with a test product under conditions that, in the absence of the test product, would permit the two components to interact; and (d) determining whether the test product is capable of modulating the interaction between the first and second components, thereby to determine whether the test product is a modulator of the interaction between LAP-β1 and integrin avb3.

摘要:
This invention provides for the prevention and treatment of tumor growth, metastasis, and cancer-mediated thrombosis through the administration, in combination, of a short or long acting GPIIb/IIIa antagonist (A) and anticoagulant (B) that might include the following: UFH or low molecular weight heparin, (LMWH), ultra LMWH, pentasaccharide or direct anti-Xa or direct anti-IX/IXa, direct anti-IIa (thrombin) or tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) by any means that produces contact of the agents with their site of action wherein at least one of the components of each of these combinations is given in reduced amount. This combined formulation could be used as a stand-alone regimen or in conjunction with other therapies (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, angiogenesis inhibitors, . . . ), and pre- & post-tumor surgery in the prevention and treatment of cancer associated metastasis, angiogenesis, tumor growth, and thrombosis.
