ARTIFICIAL PROTEOGLYCANS

摘要

Novel artificial proteoglycans containing a GAG assembly site and a control sequence required for assembly, method for enhancing the biological activity of a glycosaminoglycan binding protein using artificial proteoglycans, DNA contructs of artificial proteoglycans. The artificial proteoglycans of the present invention are useful for preparations of adjuvants for vaccination, for targeting of chemokines to non-immunogenic tumor cells to enhance cellular anti-tumor response, for preparations designed to help promote wound healing, and for treatment of immunological disorders including rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, Lupus, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, osteoarthritis, and HIV infection.
