Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090010946Novel Stromal Cell-Derived Factor-1 Polypeptides, Polynucleotides, Modulators Thereof and Methods of Use - Disclosed herein is a newly identified SDF-1 splice variant molecule, its polypeptide sequence, and the polynucleotides encoding the polypeptide sequence, and active fragments thereof. Also provided is a procedure for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques employing, for example, vectors and host cells. Also disclosed are methods for utilizing such polypeptides and modulators thereof for the treatment of diseases, including cancer, immune diseases, infectious diseases, and ischemic diseases.01-08-2009
20090018061Compositions and Methods for Treating Cardiac Conditions - Pharmaceutical polypeptide compositions promote the survival of cardiac cells, recruit cardiac cells to the cardiac area, stimulate the differentiation of cardiac cells, stimulate the proliferation of cardiac cells, and promote the activity of cardiac cells, thereby treating cardiac conditions. Methods of providing these compositions to the cardiac area include catheterization and direct injection. In preferred embodiments, the compositions comprise one of more of the following growth factors: EGF, hFGF, cardiotrophin-1, thrombin, PDGF-BB, amphiregulin, epiregulin, HB-EGF, TGFalpha, betacellulin, heregulin alpha, NRG-1-beta1-HRG-beta1, FGF 9.01-15-2009
20090286954Human cDNA Clones Comprising Polynucleotides Encoding Polypeptides and Methods of Their Use - The invention provides novel human full-length cDNA clones, novel polynucleotides, related polypeptides, related nucleic acid and polypeptide compositions, and related modulators, such as antibodies and small molecule modulators. The invention also provides methods to make and use these cDNA clones, polynucleotides, polypeptides, related compositions, and modulators. These methods include diagnostic, prophylactic and therapeutic applications. The compositions and methods of the invention are useful in treating proliferative disorders, e.g., cancers, and inflammatory, immune, bacterial, and viral disorders.11-19-2009
20100062009NOVEL STROMAL CELL-DERIVED FACTOR-1 POLYPEPTIDES, POLYNUCLEOTIDES, MODULATORS THEREOF AND METHODS OF USE - Disclosed herein is a newly identified SDF-1 splice variant molecule, its polypeptide sequence, and the polynucleotides encoding the polypeptide sequence, and active fragments thereof. Also provided is a procedure for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques employing, for example, vectors and host cells. Also disclosed are methods for utilizing such polypeptides and modulators thereof for the treatment of diseases, including cancer, immune diseases, infectious diseases, and ischemic diseases.03-11-2010
20100136522ENDOGENOUS RETROVIRUSES UP-REGULATED IN PROSTATE CANCER - Human endogenous retroviruses of the HML-2 family show up-regulated expression in prostate tumors. This finding can be used in prostate cancer screening, diagnosis and therapy.06-03-2010
20100158911Compositions and Methods of Treating Disease with FGFR Fusion Proteins - The invention provides FGFR fusion proteins, methods of making them, and methods of using them to treat proliferative disorders, including cancers and disorders of angiogenesis. The FGFR fusion molecules can be made in CHO cells and may comprise deletion mutations in the extracellular domains of the FGFRs which improve their stability. These fusion proteins inhibit the growth and viability of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. The combination of the relatively high affinity of these receptors for their ligand FGFs and the demonstrated ability of these decoy receptors to inhibit tumor growth is an indication of the clinical value of the compositions and methods provided herein.06-24-2010
20110020352ENDOGENOUS RETROVIRUSES UP-REGULATED IN PROSTATE CANCER - Human endogenous retroviruses of the HML-2 family show up-regulated expression in prostate tumors. This finding can be used in prostate cancer screening, diagnosis and therapy.01-27-2011
