摘要:
The invention concerns monoclonal antibodies against the human c-kit receptor which are obtainable from the cell lines DSM ACC 2007, DSM ACC 2008 and DSM ACC 2009 or are capable of binding to the c-kit receptor in an equivalent manner to the antibodies produced by the cell lines DSM ACC 2007, DSM ACC 2008 or DSM ACC 2009. The present invention also concerns a method for testing the malignancy of tumours of haematopoietic cells, of seminomas or small-celled lung carcinoma in which a tissue sample is incubated with at least one monoclonal antibody against the c-kit receptor according to the present invention and subsequently bound antibodies are detected by means of known methods.

The .beta.-subunit of human nerve growth factor (.beta.NGF) is prepared in essentially pure form in commercially viable quantities using recombinant DNA technology. The nucleotide sequence and vectors encoding human .beta.NGF and host cells transformed with the vectors are also provided.
摘要:
Insulin receptor is purified in accordance with this invention to a level sufficient to enable amino acid sequencing thereof. DNA encoding insulin receptor is provided, as well as methods for synthesizing insulin receptor or its mutant in heterologous host cells transformed with vectors containing such DNA. Knowledge of the amino acid sequence for insulin receptor enables the preparation of novel immunogenic conjugates and antibodies raised against such conjugates. Novel therapeutically useful forms of the insulin receptor and anti-receptor antibodies are described.
摘要:
Novel compounds which are inhibitors of receptor tyrosine kinases of the AXL receptor family are described herein. These compounds are suitable for the treatment or prevention of disorders associated with, accompanied by or caused by hyperfunction of a receptor of the AXL family. The compounds are suitable for the treatment of hyperproliferative disorders, such as cancer, particularly cancer metastases.
摘要:
The present invention relates to quinolinyloxyphenylsulfonamides and stereoisomeric forms, solvates, hydrates and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of these quinolinyloxyphenylsulfonamide compounds as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one of these compounds together with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, excipient and/or diluent. Said quinolinyloxyphenylsulfonamides are useful for prophylaxsis, treatment and/or after-treatment of hyperproliferative disorders, such as cancer, tumors and particularly cancer metastases.
摘要:
The β-subunit of human nerve growth factor (βNGF) is prepared in essentially pure form in commercially useful quantities using recombinant DNA technology. The nucleotide sequence and vectors encoding human βNGF and host cells transformed with the vectors are also provided. The βNGF which the invention provides is useful, for example, in treating nerve damage.
摘要:
The invention provides method of diagnosing a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-hyperfunction-induced disorder or a genetic predisposition therefor in a mammal. The method comprises determining the presence of a nucleic acid encoding a mutated fibroblast growth factor receptor-4 (FGFR-4) protein in a nucleic acid sample from a mammal. The presence of a nucleic acid encoding a mutated FGFR-4 protein is indicative of an RTK-hyperfunction-induced disorder or a genetic predisposition therefor.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of ligands for the FLK-1 receptor for the modulation of angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. The invention s based, in part, on the demonstration that Flk-1 tyrosine kinase receptor expression is associated with endothelial cells and the identification of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) as the high affinity ligand of Flk-1. These results indicate a major role for Flk-1 in the signaling system during vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. Engineering of host cells that express Flk-1 and the uses of expressed Flk-1 to evaluate and screen for drugs and analogs of VEGF involved in Flk-1 modulation by either agonist or antagonist activities is described. The invention also relates to the use of FLK-1 ligands, including VEGF agonists and antagonists, in the treatment of disorders, including cancer, by modulating vasculogenesis and angiogenesis.
