Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide Tumor Endothelial Marker 7α (TEM7α) polypeptides, and a method for producing nucleic acid molecules encoding the same, selective binding agents, vectors, host cells, and methods for producing TEM7α polypeptides, to provides pharmaceutical compositions and methods for the diagnosis, treatment, amelioration, and/or prevention of diseases, disorders, and conditions associated with TEM7α polypeptides, and further to provide transgenic non-human animals containing the nucleic acid molecules encoding the TEM7α polypeptides. SOLUTION: The new Tumor Endothelial Marker 7α (TEM7α) nucleic acid molecules and polypeptides encoding the same are provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new polypeptide having diagnostic advantage and therapeutic advantage, and a nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide. SOLUTION: The isolated nucleic acid molecule comprises a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of (a) a structural gene nucleotide sequence encoding a B7-like polypeptide (B7-L polypeptide) derived from human beings and considered to have a medically large possibility and a mutant thereof, and having a specific base sequence, (b) a nucleotide sequence encoding the above polypeptide corresponding to the polypeptide biosynthesized by the nucleotide sequence of (a), and having a specific base sequence, and (c) a nucleotide sequence hybridizing with either one complement of (a) or (b) in a moderate or high stringent condition.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide new polypeptides having diagnostic or therapeutic merits, and to provide nucleic acid molecules encoding the polypeptides. SOLUTION: B7-related protein-2 (B7RP-2) polypeptides and nucleic acid molecules encoding the B7RH-2 polypeptides are provided. Selective binding factors for producing B7RH-2 polypeptides, vectors containing the nucleic acid molecules, host cells, and methods for producing B7RP-2 polypeptides are also provided. These are usable for pharmaceutical compositions for diagnosis, treatment, amelioration, and/or prevention of diseases, disorders, and conditions associated with B7RP-2 polypeptides, and for production methods of the composition.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To treat a tumor with an interferon without accompanying undesirable adverse effects usually observed in an α-interferon treatment. SOLUTION: The subject antitumor agent contains a therapeutically effective amount of consensus human leucocyte interferon and expresses ≥1 weak adverse effects or no adverse effects caused by administration of the α-interferon.
