摘要:
Methods and materials are disclosed for the production of purified, active recombinant human neutrophil protease, PR-3, via activation of a pro-form herein referred to as proPR-3. Human PR-3 is useful for discovering inhibitors of excessive release of mature, active TNF&agr;. Also disclosed are methods for the identification of inhibitors of the conversion of the pro-form of TNF&agr; to its mature active form.

摘要:
Compounds having proteolytic inhibitory activity useful for treating diseases, particularly as applied to the treatment of sepsis, AIDS or autoimmune diseases, resulting from a decrease in the circulating level of mature protein hormones derived from the proteolytic cleavage of prohormone precursors such as 26 kDProTNF, and methods for identifying compounds having the desired inhibitory activity are provided.
摘要:
Methods and materials are disclosed for the production of purified, active recombinant human neutrophil protease, PR-3, via activation of a pro-form herein referred to as proPR-3. Human PR-3 is useful for discovering inhibitors of excessive release of mature, active TNF.alpha.. Also disclosed are methods for the identification of inhibitors of the conversion of the pro-form of TNF.alpha. to its mature active form.
摘要:
A colony stimulating factor, CSF-1, is a lymphokine useful in regulating the immune system. is a lymphokine useful in overcoming the immunosuppression induced by chemotherapy or resulting from other causes. CSF-1 is obtained in usable amounts by recombinant methods, including cloning and expression of the murine and human DNA sequences encoding this protein. Both "long" and "short" forms of this protein and muteins corresponding to the cDNA-encoded forms are disclosed.
摘要:
A purified glycoprotein complex of over 1200 kD apparent native molecular weight having a sedimentation value of approximately 25S and having the ability to selectively bind human Mac-2 or interfere with PHA activation of lymphocytes, DNA sequences that encode the protein, and expression systems for expressing it, thus providing for reagents that are useful for treating or diagnosing diseases, including cancer, infectious disease, and diseases of the immune system, and for monitoring the concentration of the glycoprotein in human milk.

摘要:
Compositions useful for detecting ras gene proteins are described consisting of GTP and a protein having an apparent reduced molecular weight of about 115,000-120,000 daltons, or fragments derived therefrom, that stimulate ras protein guanosine triphosphatase activity. Also described are methods whereby the compositions are used to identify cancer therapeutics.
