摘要:
The present invention comprises dosing regimens and formulations of islet cell neogenesis associated protein (INGAP) and INGAP Peptide. The formulation disclosed herein is shown have acceptable stability as a pharmaceutical composition. Further, the formulation is able to regenerate functional islets.
摘要:
A solid phase assay is used for detecting antibodies to INGAP104-118 peptide, a 15-amino acid peptide that is the biologically active portion of islet neogenesis associated protein (INGAP). The isotype of the antibodies to INGAP104-118 peptide can be determined. A kit can also be used in the detection of anti-INGAP104-118 antibodies. Endogenous autoantibodies or antibody production during therapeutic treatment of a mammal with INGAP104-118 can be monitored.
摘要:
An antibody is provided which specifically recognizes and binds to INGAP protein. The antibody is used in competitive binding assays for quantitation of INGAP in biological samples. The assay can be performed on a solid support or in a suspension.
摘要:
A basis for understanding the arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase pathway, as well as and methods and kits for inhibiting the arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase pathway for the treatment, reversal, reduction, modulation or prevention of disease states and conditions related to type 1 or type 2 diabetes, are disclosed. Also disclosed are inflammatory forms of ALOX12 and 15, which are selectively expressed in omental adipose tissue of obese humans. Inhibitors of ALOX12 and 15 can be used to treat, prevent, modulate or reduce complications associated with increased visceral obesity and inflammation, including type 2 diabetes. Also disclosed are methods for developing selective ALOX inhibitors for treating or reducing complications associated with increased visceral obesity and inflammation.
