Cell lines that secrete anti-angiogenic antibody-scaffolds and soluble receptors and uses thereof

摘要

The invention provides nucleic acid and polypeptide sequences encoding antibody based scaffolds such as full antibodies, antibody Fab fragments, single chain antibodies, soluble VEGF receptor-Fc fusion proteins, and/or anti-angiogenic PDGF receptors. Also encompassed are cell lines encoding such anti-angiogenic antibody scaffolds, VEGF receptors, and/or PDGF receptors. The invention also provides encapsulated cell therapy devices that are capable of delivering such anti-angiogenic antibody scaffolds, VEGF receptors, and/or PDGF receptors as well as methods of using these devices to deliver the anti-angiogenic antibody scaffolds, VEGF receptors, and/or PDGF receptors to medically treat disorders in patients, including ophthalmic, vascular, inflammatory, and cell proliferation diseases.
