摘要:
A method to inhibit the growth of tumors in human patients, comprising treating the human patients with an effective amount of a combination of radiation and a non-radiolabeled protein receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, the overexpression of which can lead to tumorigenesis.
摘要:
The invention provides methods of treating bone cancer, particularly metastatic bone cancer, by administering an IGF-IR antagonist and/or a PDGFRα antagonist. The invention also provides antibodies that bind to human PDGFRα and neutralize activation of the receptor. The invention further provides a methods for neutralizing activation of PDGFRα, and a methods of treating a mammal with a neoplastic disease using the antibodie alone or in combination with other agents.
摘要:
Monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind to an extracellular domain of a VEGF receptor and neutralize activation of the receptor are provided. In vitro and in vivo methods of using these antibodies are also provided.
摘要:
The invention provides antibodies or fragments thereof, including human antibodies, specific for Macrophage-Stimulating Protein Receptor (MSP-R or RON), which inhibit RON activation. Also provided are methods to inhibit RON, particularly the use of RON antibodies to treat diseases such as cancer.
摘要:
The invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid molecule that encodes a protein that is effective to preserve progenitor cells, such as hematopoietic progenitor cells. The nucleic acid comprises a sequence defined by SEQ ID NO:1, a homolog thereof, or a fragment thereof. The encoded protein has an amino acid sequence that comprises a sequence defined by SEQ ID NO:2, a homolog thereof or a fragment thereof that contains an amino acid sequence TNNVLQVT. Methods of using the encoded protein for preserving progenitor cells in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo are also described. The invention, therefore, include methods such as myeloablation therapies for cancer treatment wherein myeloid reconstitution is facilitated by means of the specified protein. Other therapeutic utilities are also enabled through the invention, for example, expanding progenitor cell populations ex vivo to increase chances of engraftation, improving conditions for transporting and storing progenitor cells, and facilitating gene therapy to treat and cure a broad range of life-threatening hematologic diseases.
