Stem Cell Related Patent Number US6100389
| Title: | Polynucleotides encoding a human chemotactic protein | | Inventors: | Li, Haodong; Gaithersburg, MD, USA | | Summary: | Described herein is a chemotactic polynucleotide, methods and uses thereof. The invention relates to a human chemotactic polypeptide, the DNA and RNA encoding it, and a procedure for producing such a polypeptide by recombinant techniques. Further disclosed are polypeptide antagonists and diagnostic assays for identifying mutations in nucleic acid sequences encoding a polypeptide. Therapeutic applications include uses in stem cell mobilization, myeloprotection, neuronal protection, wound healing, the treatment of parasitic infection, the treatment of tumors, the regulation of hematopoiesis, and in the diagnosis of conditions associated with the expression of the chemotactic polypeptide. | | 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: | US6100389 | | Application Number: | US1998000044855 | | Date Filed: | 20/03/1998 | | Date Published: | 08/08/2000 | | Assignee: | Human Genome Sciences, Inc., Rockville, MD, USA |
