First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method for treating multiple myeloma in a human patient, the method comprising administering to the patient an effective amount of an ActRIIa-Fc fusion protein, wherein the fusion protein comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3, and wherein the fusion protein binds to activin and/or GDF11. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ActRIIa-Fc fusion protein comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ActRIIa-Fc fusion protein comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ActRIIa-Fc fusion protein comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ActRIIa-Fc fusion protein comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:7. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ActRIIa-Fc fusion protein comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:7. 7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the N-terminus of the ActRIIa-Fc fusion protein is ILGRSETQE (SEQ ID NO:11). 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ActRIIa-Fc fusion protein comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:12. 9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ActRIIa-Fc fusion protein comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:12. 10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the N-terminus of the ActRIIa-Fc fusion protein is ILGRSETQE (SEQ ID NO:11). 11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ActRIIa-Fc fusion protein comprises one or more modified amino acids selected from: a glycosylated amino acid, a PEGylated amino acid, a farnesylated amino acid, an acetylated amino acid, a biotinylated amino acid, or an amino acid conjugated to a lipid moiety. 12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ActRIIa-Fc fusion protein is glycosylated and has a glycosylation pattern obtainable from a Chinese hamster ovary cell. 13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ActRIIa-Fc fusion protein binds to activin. 14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the ActRIIa-Fc fusion protein binds to activin A. 15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the ActRIIa-Fc fusion protein binds to activin B. 16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the ActRIIa-Fc fusion protein binds to GDF11. 17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ActRIIa-Fc fusion protein binds to GDF11.
