Abstract:
The present invention is directed to novel chimeric fibroblast growth factor (FGF) polypeptides, novel DNA encoding chimeric FGF polypeptides, and to the recombinant production of chimeric FGF polypeptides, and to methods, compositions and assays utilizing chimeric FGF polypeptides for the therapeutic treatment of metabolic-related disorders and other conditions, and for producing pharmaceutically active compositions including chimeric FGF polypeptides, the compositions having therapeutic and pharmacologic properties including those associated with the treatment of metabolic-related disorders and other conditions.
Abstract:
The invention provides dual specific anti-FGFR2 and FGFR3 (FGFR2/3) antibodies, and compositions comprising and methods of using these antibodies.
Abstract:
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) constructs comprising donor and acceptor fluorophore moieties, and a peptide linking the two, which is a substrate of the endopeptidase fibroblast activation protein (FAP). Also provided are isolated nucleic acids expressing the construct, cell lines comprising the nucleic acids, and kits comprising the construct. Further provided are methods of detecting FAP using the construct via FRET.
