Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This invention provides a method for treating a subject having a tumor and a method for inhibiting angiogenesis in a subject, both comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a composition of matter comprising the extracellular domain of a Notch receptor protein operably affixed to a half-life-increasing moiety. This invention also provides a composition of matter comprising the extracellular domain of Notch4 receptor protein operably affixed to a half-life-increasing moiety. This invention further provides an article of manufacture. Finally, this invention provides a replicable vector which encodes a polypeptide comprising the extracellular domain of a Notch receptor protein operably affixed to a half-life-increasing moiety, a host vector system which comprises such replicable vector and a method of producing such polypeptide.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A fusion protein consisting of consecutive amino acids, the amino acid sequence of which, commencing at the amino terminus, is identical to the amino acid sequence of EGF repeats 1-29 of human Notch4, followed by a linker sequence of amino acids which is followed by an amino acid sequence identical to the sequence of an Fc portion of an antibody, wherein the amino acid sequence of EGF repeats 1-29 of human Notch4 is encoded by the nucleic acid coding sequence…
