Patent

CA 2338186

Human TNF-gamma-alpha and TNF-gamma-beta polypeptides and DNA (RNA) encoding such polypeptides and a procedure for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques is disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for utilizing such polypeptides to inhibit cellular growth, for example in a tumor or cancer, for facilitating wound-healing, to provide resistance against infection, induce inflammatory activities, and stimulating the growth of certain cell types to treat diseases, for example restenosis. Also disclosed are diagnostic methods for detecting a mutation in the TNF-gamma-alpha and TNF- gamma-beta nucleic acid sequences or overexpression of the TNF-gamma-alpha and TNF-gamma-beta polypeptides. Antagonists against such polypeptides and their use as a therapeutic to treat cachexia, septic shock, cerebral malaria, inflammation, arthritis and graft-rejection are also disclosed.

L'invention concerne le TNF gamma-alpha humain et des polypeptides de TNF gamma-bêta ainsi que l'ADN (ARN) codant ces polypeptides et une procédure de production de ces polypeptides par génie génétique. L'invention concerne également des méthodes d'utilisation de ces polypeptides pour inhiber la croissance cellulaire, par exemple dans une tumeur ou un cancer, afin de faciliter la cicatrisation des lésions, pour obtenir une résistance contre l'infection, induire des activités inflammatoires et stimuler la croissance d'un certain type de cellules afin de traiter des maladies, par exemple la resténose. L'invention concerne également des méthodes de diagnostic permettant de détecter une mutation dans les séquences d'acide nucléique de TNF gamma-alpha et TNF gamma-bêta ou la surexpression des polypeptides de TNF gamma-alpha et de TNF gamma-bêta. L'invention concerne également des antagonistes contre ces polypeptides et leur utilisation en tant qu'agent thérapeutique pour traiter la cachexie, le choc septique, le paludisme cérébral, l'inflammation, l'arthrite et le rejet de greffes.
