Abstract
Hypoxia induced mitogenic factor (HIMF) is a member of the 'found in inflammatory zone' (FIZZ)/resistin family of proteins and has potent mitogenic, angiogenic, and vasoconstrictive effects in the lung vasculature. We use antibodies to HIMF to treat certain diseases including adult respiratory distress syndrome, radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and emphysema.
