    摘要: The present invention provides a novel angiogenesis inhibitor, LK68 whose amino acid sequence is identical with the human apolipoprotein (a) kringle domains IV36, IV37 and V38, a cDNA sequence encoding the LK68, a recombinant expression vector comprising the cDNA, a recombinant microorganism transformed with the recombinant expression vector and a novel use of the LK68 as an anticancer agent and a method for treating angiogenesis-mediated disease. LK68, LK6, LK7 and LK8 exhibit inhibitory activities on the cultured endothelial cell proliferation as well as on the endothelial cell migration. LK68 and its single kringles also inhibit the normal development of capillaries in the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM). It was also showed that systemic administration of LK68 causes the inhibition of primary tumor growth, which is correlated with a suppression of tumor-induced angiogenesis. Accordingly, LK68 protein, its single kringles or their functional equivalents may be applied for the development of a potent anti-cancer agent, which is highly effective for angiogenesis-mediated diseases covering cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, ocular angiogenic disease, etc.

    摘要: The present invention relates to gene and peptide sequences of a diabetes-specific endogenous retrovirus which is derived from type 1 diabetes patients. In particular, the present invention relates to a whole genome of the diabetes-specific variant of endogenous retrovirus (ERV-9) purified from pancreatic tissues of type 1 diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus [IDDM]) patients and its genes and peptide and their sequences, which can be used as a diagnosing reagent for type 1 diabetes and as an immunogen. The diabetes-specific retrovirus expressed exclusively in pancreatic beta cells was purified from deceased type 1 diabetes patients. Subsequently, the retroviral gene sequences were determined, and by analyzing the amino acid sequence of the peptide deduced from the gene, 21 domains of the peptide having hydrophilicity and immuno-dominancy were identified. Therefore, the variant gene of the endogenous retrovirus and the peptide deduced from the gene can be effectively used as a diagnosing reagent of autoimmune-antibody for type 1 diabetes and as a vaccine for the variant ERV-9 related diseases.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a variant of Lkn-1(shLkn-1) with enhanced biological activity, which is a truncated form of Lkn-1, a process for preparing a recombinant shLkn-1 by employing expression vector therefor and pharmaceutical application of the said protein. shLkn-1 is generated by missing 26 amino acid residues from the amino terminus of Lkn-1 to contain 66 amino acids. Recombinant shLkn-1 inhibits colony formation and cell proliferation in vivo, which suggests that it can be used as a potential drug for the antibody production, the treatment during HIV-1 infection, the protection of bone marrow stem cells during chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and the inhibition of leukemia.
