摘要:
A synthetic DNA sequence and its genetic equivalents are disclosed which sequences are capable, when used in a recombinant DNA method, of directing production of a serine protease inibitor protein. Recombinant DNA methods for the production of serine protease inhibitor proteins are also disclosed. These methods incorporate either the synthetic DNA sequence of the present invention or natural DNA sequences isolated from human cDNA or genomic libraries.In addition, a single polypeptide chain protein is disclosed which is capable of inhibiting chymotrypsin and elastase but not trypsin. In one embodiment, this protein is a shortened from (single domain) of the protein produced by the method described herein.

摘要:
Compounds are disclosed having the general formula R1—X—R2, wherein R1 and R2 are biologically active groups, at least one of which is polypeptidic. X is a non-peptidic polymeric group. R1 and R2 may be the same or different. Preferred R1 and R2 groups are interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, 30 kDa TNF inhibitor, interleukin-2 receptors and CR1 and muteins thereof. Also included are site selectively modified interleukin-1 receptor antagonist and 30 kDa TNF inhibitor.

摘要:
A method for the production of commercial quantities of highly purified interleukin-1 inhibitor (IL-1i) from a recombinant host is disclosed. A preferred recombinant E. coli host for use in this method is also disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods for diagnosing mental disorders (e.g., psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia and mood disorders such as major depression disorder and bipolar disorder). The invention also provides methods of identifying modulators of such mental disorders as well as methods of using these modulators to treat patients suffering from such mental disorders.
摘要:
The present application relates to the treatment and diagnosis of mood disorders, including bipolar disorder, major depression disorder and schizophrenia. The invention provides novel diagnostic markers and assays, as well as research tools for the development and discovery of agents and compounds which are useful for treating patients who suffer from mental illness.
摘要:
Interleukin-1 inhibitors are provided. Compositions comprising an interleukin-1 inhibitor are provided. Methods of treating a patient comprising administering an interleukin-1 inhibitor are provided.
摘要:
At least two substantially purified tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors are disclosed which are glycoproteins that are active against TNF. The isolation of 3O kDa and 40 KDa TNF inhibitor from urine is disclosed. The deglycosylated form of the 3O kDa TNF inhibitor and 40 kDa TNF inhibitor are described as being active against TNF. The 40 kDa TNF inhibitor is active against both TNF alpha a TNF beta. The amino acid sequence of the 30 kDa TNF inhibitor and the 40 kDa TNF inhibitor are disclosed. Methods for isolating the TNF inhibitors from human U937 cell medium and producing the proteins by recombinant-DNA methods are also described.
