Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The use of flagellin and flagellin related polypeptides for the protection of mammals from the effects of apoptosis is described.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of treating apoptosis-mediated tissue damage in a patient in need thereof comprising administering to said patient a composition comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of a flagellin polypeptide, wherein the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs: 8, 10, 12, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, and 44, and wherein the apoptosis is attributable to a cellular stress. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cellular stress is due to radiation. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is administered in combination with a radioprotectant. 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the radioprotectant is an antioxidant. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the antioxidant is selected from the group consisting of amifostine and vitamin E. 6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the radioprotectant is a cytokine. 7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the cytokine is a stem cell factor. 8. The method of claim 3 , wherein the radioprotectant is a growth factor. 9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the growth factor is keratinocyte growth factor. 10. The method of claim 3 , wherein the radioprotectant is a steroid. 11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the steroid is 5-androstenediol. 12. The method of claim 3 , wherein the radioprotectant is ammonium trichloro(dioxoethylene-O,O′)tellurate. 13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cellular stress is due to radiation. 14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is administered prior to, together with, or after radiation. 15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the radiation is the one that occurs in cancer radiotherapy.
