METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS USEFUL FOR MODULATION OF ANGIOGENESIS USING TYROSINE KINASE SRC

摘要

The present invention describes methods for modulating angiogenesis in tissu es using Src protein, modified Src protein, and nucleic acids encoding for such . Particularly the invention describes methods for inhibiting angiogenesis usi ng an inactive Src protein, or nucleic acids encoding therefor, or for potentiating angiogenesis using an active Src protein, or nucleic acids encoding therefor. The invention also describes the use of gene delivery systems for providing nucleic acids encoding for the Src protein, or modifie d forms thereof.
