Sutton, III, Granger; Columbia, MD, USA | | Summary: | Described herein are novel human chemotactic polypeptides and the polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides. The invention relates to recombinant techniques for the production of such polypeptides as well as for their antagonists and the diagnostic assays which may be used in the identification of mutations in the nucleic acid sequences. Further disclosed are methods for recognizing altered levels of the polypeptide in the detection of disease. Therapeutic applications are included for stem cell mobilization, myeloprotection, neuronal protection, the treatment of tumors, the acceleration of wound healing, the treatment of parasitic infection, and the regulation of hematopoiesis. | | Abstract: | A human chemotactic polypeptide, DNA (RNA) encoding it, and a procedure for producing such a polypeptide by recombinant techniques are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of using the polypeptide for a number of purposes, including: stem cell mobilization, myeloprotection, neuronal protection, treating tumors, wound healing, treating parasitic infection, and regulating hematopoiesis. Also disclosed are polypeptide antagonists and diagnostic assays for identifying mutations in nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide of the present invention and for detecting altered levels of the polypeptide of the present invention for detecting diseases are also disclosed. | | US Patent Website: | Click Here for Full Text of Patent | | Title Number: | US6075124 | | Application Number: | US1998000044856 | | Date Filed: | 20/03/1998 | | Date Published: | 13/06/2000 | | Assignee: | Human Genome Sciences, Inc., Rockville, MD, USA |
