摘要:
The present invention provides novel isolated ARP/BRP polynucleotides and the membrane-associated or secreted polypeptides encoded by the ARP/BRP polynucleotides. Also provided are ARP and BRP protein multimers. Further provided are the antibodies that immunospecifically bind to a ARP/BRP polypeptide or any derivative, variant, mutant or fragment of the ARP/BRP polypeptide, a ARP/BRP multimer polynucleotide or antibody. The invention additionally provides methods in which the ARP/BRP polypeptide, multimer, polynucleotide and antibody are utilized in the detection and treatment of a broad range of pathological states, e.g. reproductive disorder, as well as to other uses.

摘要:
The in vivo effect of Type I interferon (IFN) can be prolonged by administering the interferon in the form of a complex with an IFN binding chain of the human interferon &agr;/&bgr; receptor (IFNAR). Such a complex also improves the stability of the IFN and enhances the potency of the IFN. The complex may be a non-covalent complex or one in which the IFN and the IFNAR are bound by a covalent bond or a peptide. When bound by a peptide bond in the form of a fusion protein, the IFN may be separated from the IFNAR by means of a peptide linker. Such a fusion protein may be produced by recombinant DNA technology. Storing IFN in the form of such a complex improves the storage life of the IFN and permits storage under milder conditions than would otherwise be possible.
摘要:
The present invention relates to peptidomimetics capable of inhibiting CD28 and/or CTLA-4 interaction with CD80 (B7-1) and CD86 (B7-2) and having a core amino acid sequence, LeuMetTyrProProProTyrTyr, corresponding to residues 2 to 9 of SEQ ID NO:1. The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions and a method of treating pathologies and disorders which are improved by inhibition of CD28 and/or CTLA-4 interaction with CD80 and CD86.
