In specific embodiments, the novel antiproliferative factor is associated with the bladder. Compositions, diagnostic kits and reagents, and methods of using the compounds for identifying and/or treating interstitial cystitis and cancer are disclosed.06-11-2009
20100041588DERIVATIVES OF APF AND METHODS OF USE - Derivatives of a novel antiproliferative factor comprising a glycopeptide is disclosed. In specific embodiments, the novel antiproliferative factor is associated with the bladder. Compositions, diagnostic kits and reagents, and methods of using the compounds for identifying and/or treating interstitial cystitis and cancer are disclosed. In particular embodiments, the glycopeptide comprises D-proline.02-18-2010
20100055113CELLULAR RECEPTOR FOR ANTIPROLIFERATIVE FACTOR - The present invention concerns the receptor for antiproliferative factor (APF) from bladder epithelial cells. In particular, there are compositions and methods for modulating APF, APF receptor, and/or the binding of APF to APF receptor. Agents that interfere with the binding of APF to its receptor or agents that enhance the binding of APF to its receptor are contemplated. In specific aspects, certain compositions are employed for a therapeutic purpose, such as interstitial cystitis or cancer, for example.03-04-2010
