摘要:
The present invention is directed to polynucleotides, peptides, variants, and uses thereof for a novel peptide fragment designated TML peptides. Binding of the peptide fragment has been shown in kidney and small intestine. The present invention further includes agonists, antagonists, variants, antibodies, host cells expressing the cDNA encoding the novel TML peptides and methods for increasing gastric motility and secretion of digestive proteins and hormones using the novel TML peptides.
摘要:
The present invention relates to polynucleotide and polypeptide molecules for zacrp2, a novel member of the family of proteins bearing a collagen-like domain and a C1q domain. The polypeptides and polynucleotides encoding them, are involved in dimerization or oligomerization and may be used in the study thereof. The present invention also includes antibodies to the zacrp2 polypeptides.
摘要:
Use of factor XIII for inhibiting the formation of seromas by administering factor XIII. The factor XIII can be administered locally at the site of a wound or surgery or administered systemically. If the factor XIII is administered locally, it can be activated or non-activated and may be administered in conjunction with activated thrombin.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to polynucleotides, polypeptides and peptide fragments thereof, and uses thereof for a novel cDNA sequence which has homology to motilin. Tissue distribution of the mRNA for the novel polypeptide is specific to the stomach, small intestine and pancreas. The present invention further includes agonists, antagonists, antibodies, host cells expressing the cDNA encoding the novel motilin homologs and methods for increasing gastric motility using the novel molecules.
摘要:
A compound that is useful for inhibiting FXIIIa catalysis of fibrin cross-linking, and related pharmaceutical compositions and methods, are disclosed. The compound and compositions may be advantageously used to enhance fibrinolysis and resolution of blood clots.
摘要:
Methods for coating a prosthetic surface with anti-thrombogenic, or anti-coagulant, proteins are disclosed. The methods involve contacting a surface of a prosthetic material with a composition containing multimers of fibrin degradation products. These multimers, preferably D-dimers, have cross-linked D-domains. The methods of the invention are useful for providing an anti-thrombogenic coating on prosthetic implants which are exposed to a patient's blood after implantation, for example vascular grafts and artificial heart valves.

摘要:
Surfaces of polymeric materials are coated with a layer of thermally denatured fibrinogen. The fibrinogen may be treated with thrombin to produce fibrin, and additional fibrinogen and factor XIII added to produce a cross-linked fibrin coating. The resulting coated surface is stable, anti-thrombotic and resistant to platelet adhesion. Polymeric materials coated in this way are useful in constructing vascular grafts and prosthetic devices, and provide test systems useful in the study of thrombogenesis.
