    Abstract: The invention provides a method of treating a disease or pathological condition resulting in apoptotic cell death. The method includes increasing the activity of Bcl-2 in cells affected by the disease or pathological condition. Diseases or pathological conditions can include, for example, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer and viral infections. Also provided is a method of prolonging the in vivo survival of transplanted cells for the treatment of a disease or pathological condition. The method includes increasing the activity of Bcl-2 in a population of cells and transplanting the population of cells having increased Bcl-2 activity into a subject. Diseases or pathological conditions can include, for example, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer and viral infections. A method to enhance the sensitivity of malignant cells to therapy is provided that includes decreasing the activity of Bcl-2 in the malignant cells. Methods to identify compounds that alter apoptotic cell death and to enhance monoclonal antibody production are also provided by the invention disclosed herein.

    Abstract: Novel synthetic Arg-Gly-Asp containing peptides which have high affinity and specificity for their receptors by virtue of restrictions on their stereochemical conformation. Such restrictions can be provided by cyclization, by inclusion into a constraining conformational structure such as a helix, by providing an additional chemical structure such as an amide or an enantiomer of a naturally occurring amino acid, or by other methods. In particular, there are provided cyclic peptides having increased affinity and selectivity for the certain receptors over that of linear, Arg-Gly-Asp-containing synthetic peptides.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a mammalian CD40-associated protein (CAP), a nucleic acid molecule encoding the CAP and antibodies specific for the CAP. The invention further provides a substantially purified human CAP-1 and a nucleic acid molecule encoding human CAP-1. The invention also provides screening assays for identifying an agent that effectively alters the association of a CAP with a second molecule, which can bind to the CAP. In addition, the invention provides methods for identify a CAP agonist or CAP antagonist that can increase or decrease, respectively, the level of expression of the CAP in a cell. Such an effective agent, agonist or antagonist can modulate a function of a cell such as a humoral immune response or cell growth. The invention also provides methods of detecting a CAP in a sample by detecting the CAP or a nucleic acid molecule encoding the CAP. Such methods can be used to diagnose a pathology that is characterized by an increased or decreased level of a CAP in a cell.

    Abstract: The present invention provides antagonists to cell adhesion useful in controlling the negative effects of inflammation, and the metastasis of cancer cells. These antagonists are ligands to E-selectin containing the sialyl Lex structure, including sialyl Lex glycoproteins, sialyl Lex glycolipids, and sialyl Lex oligsaccharides, and other related sialyl Lex-containing molecules capable of inhibiting E-selectin mediated cell adhesion to endothelial cells. The present invention also provides antibodies against sialyl Lex determinants capable of interrupting E-selectin mediated cell adhesion, which are also considered antagonists according to the present invention. The present invention also provides methods of using the antagonists of the present invention to reduce inflammation, and methods to inhibit the process of metastasis by carcinogenic cells. The present invention-also provides nucleic acid molecules encoding the glycoprotein antagonists of the present invention, in particular soluble chimeric leukosialin, and vectors capable of expressing these nucleic acid molecules, as well as cells capable of producing sialyl Lex positive recombinant glycoproteins. The present invention further provides a method of determining metastatic potential by comparing the efficiency of E-selectin-mediated adhesion of cell samples. In addition the present invention provides a method of producing a preferred antagonist of the present invention, sialyl Lex positive glycoproteins, in particular, sialy Lex positive chimeric leukosialin.
