摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of preparing a trimeric protein comprising culturing a host cell transformed or transfected with an expression vector encoding a fusion protein comprising a ZymoZipper (ZZ) domain and a heterologous protein. In one embodiment, the heterologous protein is a membrane protein, the portion of the heterologous protein that included in the fusion protein is the extracellular domain of that protein, and the resulting fusion protein is soluble. In another embodiment of the present invention, the ZZ domain is derived from the transmembrane (TM) subunit of a virus envelope protein or another heptad repeat containing gene of a virus genome. The method can be used to produced homo- and hetero-trimeric proteins. The present invention also encompasses DNA molecules, expression vectors, and host cells used in the present method and fusion proteins produced by the present method.

Proteins consisting of, from amino to carboxyl terminus, a first PDGF-D growth factor domain polypeptide, a linker polypeptide, and a second PDGF-D growth factor domain polypeptide, and materials and methods for making the proteins are disclosed. Each of the first and second PDGF-D growth factor domain polypeptides consists of a sequence of amino acid residues as shown in SEQ ID NO:2 or SEQ ID NO:4 from amino acid x to amino acid y, wherein x is an integer from 246 to 258, inclusive, and y is an integer from 365–370, inclusive. The linker polypeptide consists of from 11–40 amino acid residues. The proteins can be used to stimulate the production of bone and/or connective tissue in both humans and non-human animals.

摘要:
The present invention relates to blocking, inhibiting, reducing, antagonizing or neutralizing the activity of IL-22, IL-20, or both IL-20 and IL-22 polypeptide molecules. IL-20 and IL-22 are cytokines that are involved in inflammatory processes and human disease. IL-22RA (zcytor11) is a common receptor for IL-20 and IL-22. The present invention includes anti-IL-22RA antibodies and binding partners, as well as methods for antagonizing IL-22 or both IL-20 and IL-22 using such antibodies and binding partners.

Proteins consisting of two PDGF-D polypeptide chains, polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, and materials and methods for making the proteins are disclosed. Each of the polypeptide chains consists of, from amino terminus to carboxyl terminus, the following operably linked segments: P1-P2-h-CH2-CH3; P1-P2-CH2-CH3; h-CH2-CH3-P2-P1; or CH2-CH3-P2-P1. Within these polypeptide chains, P1 is a first polypeptide segment as shown in SEQ ID NO:2 or SEQ ID NO:4 from amino acid x to amino acid y, wherein x is an integer from 246 to 258, inclusive, and y is an integer from 365–370, inclusive; P2 is a second polypeptide segment consisting of from 4 to 20 amino acid residues; h is an immunoglobulin hinge region or portion thereof; and CH2 and CH3 are CH2 and CH3 domains of an immunoglobulin heavy chain, respectively. Within the protein, the two polypeptide chains are joined by one or more disulfide bonds, each of the chains is optionally glycosylated, and the protein binds to and activates cell-surface PDGF receptors.
