EXPRESSION VECTORS AND CELL LINES EXPRESSING VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR D, AND METHOD OF TREATING MELANOMAS

摘要

This invention relates to expression vectors comprising VEGF-D and its biologically active derivatives, cell lines stably expressing VEGF-D and its biologically active derivatives, and to a method of making a polypeptide using these expression vectors and host cells. The invention also relates to a method for treating and alleviating melanomas or tumors expressing VEGF-D and various diseases.
