摘要:
Methods for treating cancer by co-administering a therapeutic monoclonal antibody with IL-21 are described. Exemplary monoclonal antibodies that can be used are rituximab, trastuzumab and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies. The enhanced antitumor of the combination therapy is particularly useful for patient populations that are recalcitrant to monoclonal therapy, relapse after treatment with monoclonal antibodies or where the enhanced IL-21 antitumor effect reduces toxicities associated with treatment using the monoclonal antibodies.

摘要:
DNA constructs useful in the production of thrombopoietin are disclosed. In general, the DNA constructs comprise a first DNA segment encoding a fusion of an amino-terminal secretory peptide joined to a thrombopoietin polypeptide and one or more additional DNA segments that provide for the transcription of the first segment. The secretory peptide is a native mammalian t-PA secretory peptide or may be modified to enhance proteolytic cleavage of the fusion. Also disclosed are cultured eukaryotic cells containing these DNA constructs and methods for producing thrombopoietin polypeptides through the use of the DNA constructs and cultured eukaryotic cells.
摘要:
The present invention provides isolated DNA molecules comprising a DNA segment encoding a glucagon receptor. Also provided are DNA constructs comprising a first DNA segment encoding a glucagon receptor operably linked to additional DNA segments required for the expression of the first DNA segment, as well as host cells containing such DNA constructs. The present invention also provides a method for detecting the presence of glucagon antagonists, comprising the steps of (a) exposing a compound in the presence of a glucagon against to a recombinant glucagon receptor coupled to a response pathway under conditions and for time sufficient to allow binding of the compound to the receptor and an associated response through the pathway, and (b) detecting a reduction in the stimulation of the response pathway resulting from the binding of the compound to the glucagon receptor, relative to the stimulation of the response pathway by the glucagon agonist alone and therefrom determining the presence of a glucagon antagonist.
