Disclosed are oligonucleotide compounds that inhibit the expression of angiogenin when administered to a mammal. Also disclosed are methods and pharmaceutical compositions for inhibiting the expression of angiogenin useful in therapy or diagnosis.

Antisense inhibition of angiogenin expression

This invention relates to the production of antibodies to angiogenin or to fragments thereof and to methods of inhibiting angiogenesis in mammals by administering to mammals such antibodies or Fab or F(ab').sub.2 fragments thereof so as to inhibit angiogenic activity. In addition, this invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising therapeutically effective amounts of antibody that are immunologically reactive with angiogenin and which can be administered to inhibit angiogenesis.

Antibodies to angiogenin: immunotherapeutic agents

A substantially pure protein having angiogenic activity is disclosed. A method for preparing proteins having angiogenic activity from cell culture media is also disclosed. Proteins produced according to the invention are useful in the diagnosis of malignancies, for promoting wound healing, and for other diagnositc and therapeutic purposes.

Purified protein having angiogenic activity and methods of preparation

A medium for the maintenance of mammalian anchorage-dependent colonic adenocarcinoma cells comprising a solution of an effective maintenance amount of buffered salts, L-glutamine and glucose, which is devoid of exogenous protein. The medium further includes a solution containing amino acids.

Method of isolating tumor-secreted products using a novel protein-free

This invention relates to the production of antibodies to angiogenin or to fragments thereof and to methods of inhibiting angiogenesis in mammals by administering to mammals such antibodies or Fab fragments thereof so as to inhibit angiogenic activity. In addition, this invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising therapeutically effective amounts of antibody that are immunologically reactive with angiogenin and which can be administered to inhibit angiogenesis.

A substantially pure protein having angiogenic activity is disclosed. A method for preparing proteins having angiogenic activity from cell culture media is also disclosed.
