    摘要: A method for engineering and utilizing large DNA vectors to target, via homologous recombination, and modify, in any desirable fashion, endogenous genes and chromosomal loci in eukaryotic cells. These large DNA targeting vectors for eukaryotic cells, termed LTVECs, are derived from fragments of cloned genomic DNA larger than those typically used by other approaches intended to perform homologous targeting in eukaryotic cells. Also provided is a rapid and convenient method of detecting eukaryotic cells in which the LTVEC has correctly targeted and modified the desired endogenous gene(s) or chromosomal locus (loci) as well as the use of these cells to generate organisms bearing the genetic modification.

    摘要: Methods of treating, inhibiting, or ameliorating Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) by administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of an interleukin 1 (IL-1) antagonist, are provided. The IL-1 antagonist can be an antibody or derivative thereof, which is capable of blocking or inhibiting the biological action of IL-1, thereby treating, inhibiting or ameliorating FMF. Also provided are methods of treating, inhibiting, or ameliorating FMF by administering a therapeutically effective amount of an IL-1 antagonist in combination with additional therapeutic agents, including IL-1-specific fusion proteins, TNF inhibitors, NSAIDs, steroids, and the like.

    摘要: A fusion protein comprising at least one IGF1 variant component and a fusion component (F), and, optionally, a signal sequence, exhibits improved stability relative to the native IGF1 or IGF2 polypeptide. The fusion component (F) may be a multimerizing component, such as an immunoglobulin domain, in particular, the Fc domain of IgG or a heavy chain of IgG. IGF1 variants were shown to have improved ability to increase muscle mass in a subject suffering from muscle atrophy caused by cachexia, immobilization, aging, chronic disease, cancer, hereditary condition, an atrophy-causing agent, and the like. IGF1 variants are also effective in decreasing blood glucose in a subject suffering from diabetes or hyperglycemia.
