Tumor necrosis factor receptor DNAs and expression vectors encoding TNF receptors, and processes for producing TNF receptors as products of recombinant cell culture, are disclosed.

Glycoproteins which bind to TNF

Methods and comnositions related to antibodies that bind to mammalian Tnterleulcin-4 recentor proteins are disclosed.

Antibodies to Interleukin-4 receptors and uses thereof

Ligands for flt3 receptors capable of transducing self-renewal signals to regulate the growth, proliferation or differentiation of progenitor cells and stem cells are disclosed. The invention is directed to Flt3-ligand as an isolated protein, the DNA encoding the Flt3-ligand, host cells transfected with cDNAs encoding Flt3-ligand, compositions comprising Flt3-ligand and methods of using Flt3-ligand in hematopoietic cell transplantation.

Methods of using flt3-ligand in hematopoietic cell transplantation

Tumor necrosis factor receptor proteins, DNAs and expression vectors encoding TNF receptors, and processes for producing TNF receptors as products of recombinant cell culture, are disclosed.

Antibodies which specifically bind to TNF-R

Ligands for flt3 receptors capable of transducing self-renewal signals to regulate the growth, proliferation or differentiation of progenitor cells and stem cells are disclosed. The invention is directed to anti-flt3-L antibodies and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays comprising such antibodies.

Antibodies against flt3-ligand

Ligands for flt3 receptors capable of transducing self-renewal signals to regulate the growth, proliferation or differentiation of progenitor cells and stem cells are disclosed. The invention is directed to flt3-L as an isolated protein, the DNA encoding the flt3-L, host cells transfected with cDNAs encoding flt3-L, compositions comprising flt3-L, methods of improving gene transfer to a mammal using flt3-L, and methods of improving transplantations using fit3-L. Flt3-L finds use in treating patients with anemia, AIDS and various cancers.

Ligands for flt3 receptors

Hek ligand (hek-L) polypeptides as well as DNA sequences, vectors and transformed host cells useful in providing hek-L polypeptides. The hek-L polypeptides bind to a cell surface receptor (hek) that is a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase family. Hek is expressed on cells that include certain tumor cell lines. The hek-L polypeptides also bind a distinct receptor tyrosine kinase known elk.

Cytokines that bind the cell surface receptor hek

Ligands for flt3 receptors capable of transducing self-renewal signals to regulate the growth, proliferation or differentiation of progenitor cells and stem cells are disclosed. The invention is directed to flt3-L as an isolated protein, the DNA encoding the flt3-L, host cells transfected with cDNAs encoding flt3-L, compositions comprising flt3-L, methods of improving gene transfer to a mammal using flt3-L, and methods of improving transplantations using flt3-L. Flt3 -L finds use in treating patients with anemia, AIDS and various cancers.

Medium containing flt3 ligand for culturing hematophoietic cells

Mammalian Interleukin-4 receptor proteins, DNAs and expression vectors encoding mammalian IL-4 receptors, and processes for producing mammalian IL-4 receptors as products of cell culture, are disclosed. A method for suppressing an IL-4-dependent immune or inflammatory response in a mammal, including a human, by administering an effective amount of soluble IL-4 receptor (sIL-4R) and a suitable diluent or carrier.

Antibodies to interleukin-4 receptors and uses thereof

Method for suppressing inflammatory responses by administering TNFR

Interleukin-4 receptors

Elk ligand (Elk-L) polypeptides as well as DNA sequences, vectors and transformed host cells useful in providing elk-L polypeptides are used in methods for enhancing the survival or inhibiting the death of neurons, particularly hippocampal neurons. The elk-L polypeptides bind to a cell surface receptor that is a member of the tyrosine kinase receptor family.
