  • Publication number: 20140066384
    Abstract: Described herein are polypeptides that home to developing microvasculature, (also referred to as developing microvessels), such as newly developing microvasculature in mammals, particularly in humans, and to DNA that encodes such polypeptides. These polypeptides are referred to herein as developing microvasculature homing polypeptides. In a specific embodiment, the homing peptides are collateral vessel endothelia (CVE) homing polypeptides, which have been shown to home to collateral vessel endothelia after ischemia.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 15, 2013
    Publication date: March 6, 2014
    Applicants: MedStar Health Research Institute, Inc., Georgetown University
    Inventors: Anton Wellstein, Marcel O. Schmidt, Stephan Zbinden, Mary Susan Burnett, Stephen E. Epstein
