摘要:
The invention discloses the human chemokine HCC-1, N-terminally truncated HCC-1 molecules and glycosylated HCC-1 which improve the homing of stem cells into the -bone marrow during stem cell transplantation. It is also provided a procedure for producing the polypeptides by recombinant techniques or chemical synthesis and for producing antibodies against such polypeptide. Furthermore, it is disclosed the modification of the polypeptide by coupling of amino acid residues and/or chemical groups or deleting amino-acids generating potent derivatives of the polypeptide. Another aspect of the invention provides a combination of the polypeptide of the present invention and a suitable pharmaceutical carrier for providing a therapeutically effective amount of the polypeptide for the treatment of various associated diseases. The invention concerns also the use of the HCC-1 molecules to increase engraftment of stem cells in the course of the stem cell transplantation performed in stem cell transplantation related diseases.

The present invention relates to antibiotically active natriuretic peptides for use as antibiotically active preparations prepared using biotechnological and recombinant methods and chemical synthesis. The antibiotically active peptides are referred to as natriubiotics. After chemical peptide synthesis, these natriubiotics can be used as human or veterinary medicaments in a suitable galenic formulation or as food additives.
摘要:
A method for detecting the condition of an organism through the measurement of peptides from a sample of said organism containing high- and low-molecular weight peptides, as an indication of the condition of said organism, wherein low-molecular weight peptides are directly detected and characterized; and related to a reference.
摘要:
Described are derivatives of the precursor peptide of the cardiodilatin/atrial sodiuretic factor (CDD-ANF) or fragments thereof which comprise at least the amino acid sequence of alpha-hANaP. The derivatives according to the present invention are compounds of the formula (I) ##STR1## X is a phosphate or thiophosphate group. R is NH.sub.2 or a peptide fragment from the amino acid sequence of gamma-hANaP. Radio-labelled derivatives are also possible. A method for the qualitative and/or quantitative determination of peptides containing the sequence of alpha-hANaP and a use of the compounds having the formula (I) as medicaments for various vaso- and renal related disorders are further described.
摘要:
Described is a peptide fragment which comprises the amino acid sequence 95-126 of ANF/CDD 1-126 (gamma-hANaP) and is formed in the kidney. The fragment urodilatin (ANF/CDD 95-126) has the following amino acid sequence: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each represent further peptide fragments of ANF/CDD 1-126 (gamma-hANaP). In the amino acid sequence R.sup.1 is Thr-Alo-Pro-Arg-Ser-Leu-Arg-Arg-Ser-Ser and R.sup.2 is Asn-Ser-Phe-Arg-Tyr. Further described are processes for the preparation and/or recovery of the new peptide fragment and a medicament containing urodilatin (ANF/CDD 95-126 ) as well as medical indications of the medicament.
