    摘要: Detection of mutations associated with hereditary diseases is complicated by the diploid nature of human cells. Mutations present in one allele are often masked by the wild-type sequence of the other allele. Individual alleles can be isolated from every chromosome within somatic cell hybrids generated from a single fusion. Nucleic acids from the hybrids can be analyzed for mutations in an unambiguous manner. This approach was used to detect two cancer-causing mutations that had previously defied genetic diagnosis. One of the families studied, Warthin Family G, was the first kindred with a hereditary colon cancer syndrome described in the biomedical literature.

    摘要: A fusion polypeptide comprising (A)x-M-(A′)y, wherein A and A′ are each polypeptides capable of binding a target receptor. The fusion polypeptides of the invention form multimeric proteins which activate the target receptor. A and A′ may be each be an antibody or fragment derived from an antibody specific for a target receptor, such as the same or different ScFv fragments, and/or a ligand or ligand fragment or derivative capable of binding the target protein, M is a multimerizing component, and X and Y are independently a number between 1-10.

    摘要: A therapeutic method for treating ischemic or vascular disorders by administering an agent capable of inhibiting human delta-like ligand 4 (Dll4) activity to a subject in need thereof. In one embodiment, the agent is an anti-Dll4 antibody or antibody fragment capable of inhibiting the binding of Dll4 to a Notch receptor. The method of the invention is useful for treating eye disorders such as ischemic retinopathy, diabetic retinopathy, age related macular degeneration, corneal neovascularization, neovascular glaucoma, or retinopathy of prematurity. The method is also useful or treating ischemic or vascular disorders such as ischemic injury, cerebral ischemia, cardiac ischemia, ischemic conditions affecting the limbs and other organs or tissues, arteriovenous malformations, wound healing, organ or tissue transplantation, placental insufficiency, arterial narrowing and occlusion, atherosclerosis, and systemic or pulmonary hypertension.
