摘要:
It is intended to disclose the function of dendritic cell immunoreceptor (DCIR) and clarify its role in the onset of autoimmune arthritis. It is also intended to provide a method of screening a substance which is useful in treating/preventing an autoimmune disease or osteoporosis. A nonhuman disease model animal characterized by having a partial or entire deficiency of a gene encoding the DCIR protein on the chromosome; a method of screening a substance which is useful in treating/preventing a DCIR-related disease, for example, an autoimmune disease such as arthropathy by using the nonhuman disease model animal as described above; and a remedy/preventive therefor.
摘要:
Disclosed are DNA encoding a polypeptide which can modulate the activity of a muscle-specific tyrosine kinase, and others. The DNA is selected from the following members (a) to (d): (a) DNA comprising a specific nucleotide sequence; (b) DNA comprising a nucleotide sequence capable of hybridizing with a specific nucleotide sequence under stringent conditions; (c) DNA comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding an amino acid sequence having the substitution, deletion and/or addition of one or several amino acid residues in a specific amino acid sequence; and (d) DNA comprising a nucleotide sequence having 90% or higher homology to a specific nucleotide sequence.
摘要:
Materials and Methods related to a transgenic non-human animal (e.g., a transgenic non-human mammal) whose genome comprises a disrupted TIEG allele are provided. Methods for making such transgenic non-human animals, and using them to identify and characterize agents that affect conditions related to TIEG activity, such as cardiac hypertrophy and bone formation also are provided. In addition, materials and methods related to the treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are provided.
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel Death Domain Containing Receptor-4 (DR4) proteins which are members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor family. In particular, isolated nucleic acid molecules are provided encoding the human DR4 proteins. DR4 polypeptides are also provided as are vectors, host cells and recombinant methods for producing the same. The invention further relates to screening methods for identifying agonists and antagonists of DR4 activity and methods for using DR4 polynucleotides and polypeptides. The invention also relates to the treatment of diseases associated with reduced or increased levels of apoptosis using antibodies specific for DR4, which may be agonists and/or antagonists of DR4 activity.
