Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention pertains to PF4 muteins which comprise a substitution at position 67, e.g. a L67H substitution, compared to the sequence of the wild-type PF4 protein. Such PF4 muteins exhibit an increased anti-angiogenie activity and a reduced affinity for proteoglycans compared to the wild-type PF4 protein.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1.
