摘要:
Disclosed are human VEGF-2 polypeptides, biologically active, diagnostically or therapeutically useful fragments, analogs, or derivatives thereof, and DNA(RNA) encoding such VEGF-2 polypeptides. Also provided are procedures for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques and antibodies and antagonists against such polypeptides. Such polypeptides and polynucleotides may be used therapeutically for stimulating wound healing and for vascular tissue repair. Also provided are methods of using the antibodies and antagonists to inhibit tumor angiogenesis and thus tumor growth, inflammation, diabetic retinopathy, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis.
摘要:
The present invention provides soluble forms of integral membrane proteins, or domains or portions thereof, that retain the biological activity of the integral membrane protein, domain or portion from which they are designed or derived and that can readily be expressed in high yield.
摘要:
There is provided a DNA (or RNA) polynucleotide sequences encoding naturally occurring splice variants of human growth hormone, hGHV-2(88) and hGHV-3(53) as well as analogs and derivatives thereof, which both lack nucleotide sequences normally present in the gene which codes for wild-type hGH. The growth hormone variants of the present invention are of human origin and are useful for diagnostic preventative and therapeutic purposes with respect to certain human diseases. The present invention is also related to a method for producing the human growth hormone variants by recombinant DNA techniques. A method of generating an antibody directed against and therefore inhibiting the activity of wild-type growth hormone is also provided.
摘要:
Methods for manipulating carbohydrate processing pathways in cells of interest are provided. Methods are directed at manipulating multiple pathways involved with the sialylation reaction by using recombinant DNA technology and substrate feeding approaches to enable the production of sialylated glycoproteins in cells of interest. These carbohydrate engineering efforts encompass the implementation of new carbohydrate bioassays, the examination of a selection of insect cell lines and the use of bioinformatics to identify gene sequences for critical processing enzymes. The compositions comprise cells of interest producing sialylated glycoproteins. The methods and compositions are useful for heterologous expression of glycoproteins.
摘要:
A human EMAP III polypeptide and DNA (RNA) encoding such polypeptide and a procedure for producing such polypeptide by recombinant techniques is disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for utilizing such polypeptide for preventing and/or treating neoplasia. Diagnostic assays for identifying mutations in nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide of the present invention and for detecting altered levels of the polypeptide of the present invention for detecting diseases, for example, cancer, are also disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel human glycosylation enzyme polypeptides and isolated nucleic acids containing the coding regions of the genes encoding such polypeptides. Also provided are vectors, host cells, antibodies, and recombinant methods for producing human glycosylation enzyme polypeptides. The invention further relates to diagnostic and therapeutic methods useful for diagnosing and treating disorders related to these novel human glycosylation enzyme polypeptides.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of treatment of patients by administration of human growth hormone. Also disclosed are DNA (or RNA) polynucleotide sequences that encode naturally occurring splice variants of human growth hormone, hGHV-2(88) and hGV-3(53), as well as analogs and derivatives thereof, which both lack nucleotide sequences normally present in the gene which codes for wild-type human growth hormone. The growth hormone variants of the present invention are of human origin and are useful for diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic purposes with respect to certain human diseases. Also disclosed is a method for producing the human growth hormone variants of the present invention by recombinant DNA techniques, as well as a method for generating antibodies directed against (and therefore inhibiting the activity of) wild-type growth hormone.
摘要:
A human Criptin Growth Factor polypeptide (CGF) and DNA (RNA) encoding such polypeptide and a procedure for producing such polypeptide by recombinant techniques is disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for utilizing such polypeptide for wound healing or tissue regeneration, stimulating implant fixation and angiogenesis. Antagonist against such polypeptides and their use as a therapeutic to treat and/or prevent neoplasia such as tumors is also disclosed. Diagnostic assays for identifying mutations in CGF nucleic acid sequences and altered levels of the CGF for the detection of cancer are also disclosed.
