摘要:
Methods for inhibiting osteoclastogenesis by administering a soluble RANK polypeptide are disclosed. Such methods can be used to treat a variety of different cancers, including bone cancer, multiple myeloma, melanoma, breast cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, lung cancer, prostate cancer, hematologic cancers, head and neck cancer and renal cancer.
摘要:
A new family of immunoreceptor molecules of the immunoglobulin superfamily, (LIR) polypeptides is described. Disclosed are sequences encoding LIR family members and their deduced amino acid sequences, polypeptides encoded by DNA that hybridizes to defined nucleotide sequences, processes for producing polypeptides of the LIR family, and specific antibodies directed against LIR polypeptides. LIR family members can be used to treat autoimmune diseases and disease states associated with suppressed immune function.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides attractin/mahogany-like polypeptides and fragments thereof, polynucleotides encoding such polypeptides and fragments, processes for production of recombinant forms of such polypeptides, antibodies generated against these polypeptides or fragments, and assays and methods employing these polypeptides, antibodies, and polynucleotides.
摘要:
Isolated Dendritic Cell Transmembrane Serine Proteases (DCTSPs), DNAs encoding such DCTSPs, and pharmaceutical and/or diagnostic compositions made therefrom, are disclosed. The isolated DCTSPs can be used to hydrolyze peptide bonds. The DCTSPs are also useful in screening for inhibitors or agonists thereof.
摘要:
Isolated receptors, DNAs encoding such receptors, and pharmaceutical compositions made therefrom, are disclosed. The isolated receptors can be used to regulate an immune response. The receptors are also useful in screening for inhibitors thereof.
摘要:
Purified and isolated IL-1/TNF-α-activated kinase (ITAK), nucleic acids encoding ITAK, processes for production of recombinant forms of ITAK, pharmaceutical compositions containing ITAK, and use of ITAK in therapies and in various assays, including assays to detect antagonists and agonists of ITAK are provided.
摘要:
The invention is directed to purified and isolated human polypeptides having kinase function, the nucleic acids encoding such polypeptides, processes for production of recombinant forms of such polypeptides, antibodies generated against these polypeptides, fragmented peptides derived from these polypeptides, the use of such polypeptides and fragmented peptides in phosphorylation reactions and as molecular weight markers, the use of such polypeptides and fragmented peptides as controls for peptide fragmentation, the use of such polypeptides in screening assays, and kits comprising these reagents.
摘要:
