摘要 |
The present invention relates to methods of inhibiting receptor tyrosine kinases by utilizing a combination of both an extracellular and an intracellular RTK antagonist. The extracellular RTK antagonist is a biological molecule or a small molecule that inhibits activation of the receptor tyrosine kinase by interacting with the extracellular binding region of the receptor. The intracellular RTK antagonist is a biological molecule or small molecule that inhibits tyrosine kinase activity of the receptor tyrosine kinase by interacting with the receptor's intracellular region bearing a kinase domain or by interacting with an intracellular protein involved in the signaling pathway of the receptor tyrosine kinase. The present invention also provides methods of treating tyrosine kinase dependent diseases, and compositions for use in such methods thereof, by administering a combination of both an extracellular and an intracellular RTK antagonist.
