    摘要: The present invention relates to a protein having G-CSF-like activity comprising a) one or two polypeptide chains; b) a bundle of four α-helices; and c) two or three amino acid linkers that connect contiguous bundle-forming α-helices that are located on the same polypeptide chain, wherein each amino acid linker has a length between 2 and 20 amino acids. The invention also provides for a polynucleotide and a vector encoding the protein of the invention, host cells comprising said polynucleotide, a method for producing the protein of the invention and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the protein of the invention. The invention further relates to uses of the proteins of the invention as a research reagent and the use of the protein and/or pharmaceutical composition comprising the same as a medicament, e.g., for use in increasing stem cell production, for use in inducing hematopoiesis and/or for use in mobilizing hematopoietic stem cells.

    摘要: Methods for treating B cell lymphomas are provided. B cell lymphomas patients suitable for treatments can be identified based on the baseline B cell subset frequencies. For instance, increased frequency of transitional (CD10+) B cells within total nave B cells or within total B cells predicts poor response to kinase inhibitors. By contrast, having an increased nave B cells to total B cells frequency without an increased transitional (CD10+) B cell frequency predicts good response to the kinase inhibitors. Having a decreased frequency of nave B cells of the total B cell population with a corresponding increase in frequency of memory switched and double negative B cells of the total B cell population also predicts good response to the kinase inhibitors. Once the patients are identified, the patients can be suitably treated with the kinase inhibitors such as cerdulatinib.
