ALTERNATIVE SPLICE FORMS OF PROTEINS AS BASIS FOR MULTIPLE THERAPEUTIC MODALITIES

摘要

Peptides or antibodies derived form alternative splice forms of proteins associated with a disease or physiologic condition are used as therapeutic or prophylactic agents. Peptides or antibodies derived from alternative splice forms of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family of proteins are particularly useful in preventing or delaying the onset of tumors and inducing tumor regression.
