Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to the discovery that reduced levels of D-dopachrome tautomerase (D-DT) (also known as MIF-2) are associated with ischemia-reperfusion injury. Thus, the present invention relates to methods of administering D-DT and recombinant D-DT for the treatment of ischemia-reperfusion injury.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of treating or reducing ischemia-reperfusion injury in a subject, or a tissue or an organ thereof, the method comprising: administering to the subject, the tissue, or the organ thereof, a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of a D-dopachrome tautomerase (D-DT) polypeptide, and a recombinant D-DT polypeptide. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is administered to a tissue or an organ, and wherein the tissue or the organ is at least one selected from the group consisting of heart, kidney, liver and brain. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the composition is administered to the tissue or the organ in vivo. 4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the composition is administered to the tissue or the organ in vitro. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject, tissue or organ is human. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the D-DT polypeptide or recombinant D-DT polypeptide is human D-DT polypeptide or human recombinant D-DT polypeptide.
