Abstract
This description provides novel strategies and methods for treatment of hyperproliferation conditions such as keloids, lung fibrosis, and lung cancer with the use of bi-functional molecules that target growth factors. A bifunctional hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF)-specific antibody for these methods comprises at least one complementarity determining region (CDR) specific for HDGF, at least one receptor domain that specifically binds to a growth factor selected from vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ).
