摘要:
This invention relates to the inhibition of intercellular adhesion mediated by L-selectin by administering a newly identified L-selectin ligand, CD34. More particularly, the invention concerns a method for inhibiting leukocyte adhesion to endothelial cells by administering an effective amount of an isolated, purified CD34 polypeptide or an antibody capable of binding native CD34.
摘要:
The invention relates to glycoprotein ligands of selectins. The invention further relates to methods and means for preparing and to nucleic acids encoding these ligands. The invention further concerns a method of treating a symptom or condition associated with excessive binding of circulating leukocytes to endothelial cells by administering to a patient in need of such treatment a glycoprotein ligand of a selectin.
摘要:
DNA isolates coding for the lymphocyte homing receptor and methods of obtaining such DNA are provided, together with expression systems for recombinant production of the lymphocyte homing receptor useful in therapeutic or diagnostic compositions.
摘要:
A novel human glycosylsulfotransferase expressed in high endothelial cells (GST-3) and polypeptides related thereto, as well as nucleic acid compositions encoding the same, are provided. The subject polypeptides and nucleic acid compositions find use in a variety of applications, including research, diagnostic, and therapeutic agent screening applications. Also provided are methods of inhibiting selectin mediated binding events and methods of treating disease conditions associated therewith.
摘要:
Novel glycosylsulfotransferases (GST-4α, GST-4β, and GST-6) and polypeptides related thereto, as well as nucleic acid compositions encoding the same, are provided. The subject polypeptides and nucleic acid compositions find use in a variety of applications, including various diagnostic and therapeutic agent screening applications. Also provided are methods of inhibiting selectin mediated binding events and methods of treating disease conditions associated therewith, particularly by administering an inhibitor of at least one of GST-4α, GST-4β, and GST-6.
