    摘要: The present invention provides methods for modulating angiogenesis and/or apoptosis comprising modulating the activity of at least one VEGF-modulated gene polypeptide. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions for modulating angiogenesis and apoptosis for the prevention or treatment of diseases associated with VEGF-modulated genes expression. The invention also provides diagnostic assays that use VEGF-modulated gene polynucleotides that hybridize with naturally occurring sequences encoding VEGF-modulated genes and antibodies that specifically bind to the protein. The invention also provides novel human and mouse arginine-rich proteins (ARPs) and nucleotide sequences. The invention provides for genetically engineered expression vectors and host cells comprising the nucleic acid sequence encoding ARPs and for a method for producing the protein

    摘要: The present invention relates generally to immunointeractive molecules and more particularly antibodies which bind to vascular endothelial growth factor-B (VEGF-B) or its functional or structural equivalent and inhibit the biological activity of VEGF-B. In particular the present invention relates to deimmunized such as humanized or human antibodies that bind to VEGF-B and inhibit the biological activity of VEGF-B. These antibodies have uses in the treatment or prevention of diseases associated with perturbations in normal vasculogenesis or angiogenesis or vascular remodelling. The present invention further contemplates a method of modulating diseases associated with perturbations in normal vasculogenesis or angiogenesis or vascular remodelling by the administration of the subject antibodies. The present invention further provides an assay system useful for identifying antibodies which bind to VEGF-B and block the biological activity of VEGF-B. Accordingly, a method of screening for inhibitors of the biological activity of VEGF-B is also provided.

    摘要: A specific binding agent is provided, wherein the specific binding agent specifically binds Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSRV) interleukin-6 (vIL-6), and the specific binding agent neutralizes an activity of vIL-6. In one embodiment, the specific binding agent is an antibody. Methods are provided for using a specific binding agent that binds vIL-6, and neutralizes a biological activity of vIL-6. Methods of treatment for a KSHV-associated disorder are provided, as are kits that include a specific binding agent of the invention. A method is also provided for testing an agent for effectiveness in treating a KSRV-associated disorder. The method for effectiveness the agent with a cell free system comprising a vIL-6 receptor component and vIL-6, and comparing the binding of vIL-6 and the receptor component in the presence of the agent to binding of vIL-6 to receptor component in the absence of the agent. A decrease in the binding of vIL-6 to the receptor component in the presence of the agent indicates that the agent is effective for treating the KSHV-associated disorder.
