Stem Cell Related Patent Number US6623942
Title: | Macrophage inflammatory protein-4 (MIP-4) polynucleotides | Inventors: | Ruben, Steven M.; Olney, MD, USA
Li, Haodong; Gaithersburg, MD, USA | Summary: | Described herein are methods of purifying target proteins from inclusion bodies via treatment with low concentrations of a chaotropic agent to solubilize the protein for recovery. The invention relates to therapeutic compositions and methods using isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding a human myeloid progenitor inhibitory factor-1 (MPIF-1) polypeptide, previously termed MIP-3, and chemokine ?8(CK?8 or ckb-8). Further disclosed is a human monocyte-colony inhibitory factor (M-CIF) polypeptide, previously termed MIP1-?, as well as chemokine ?1(CK?1 or ckb-1), a macrophage inhibitory protein-4 (MIP-4), and MPIF-1, M-CIF and/ MIP-4 polypeptides themselves. Also provided are vectors, host cells and recombinant methods for their production. Nucleotide sequences of the nucleic acid molecules are provided. | Abstract: | There are disclosed therapeutic compositions and methods using isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding a human myeloid progenitor inhibitory factor-1 (MPIF-1) polypeptide (previously termed MIP-3 and chemokine .beta.8(CK.beta.8 or ckb-8)); a human monocyte-colony inhibitory factor (M-CIF) polypeptide (previously termed MIP1-.gamma. and chemokine .beta.1(CK.beta.1 or ckb-1)), and a macrophage inhibitory protein-4 (MIP-4), as well as MPIF-1, M-CIF and/or MIP-4 polypeptides themselves, as are vectors, host cells and recombinant methods for producing the same. | US Patent Website: | Click Here for Full Text of Patent | Title Number: | US6623942 | Application Number: | US1999000334954 | Date Filed: | 17/06/1999 | Date Published: | 23/09/2003 | Assignee: | Human Genome Sciences, Inc., Rockville, MD, USA |
