  • Patent number: 11008373
    Abstract: The invention relates to novel designer osteogenic proteins having altered affinity for a cognate receptor, nucleic acids encoding the same, and methods of use therefor. More preferably, the novel designer osteogenic proteins are designer BMPs and have altered affinity for a cognate BMP receptor.

  • Publication number: 20090220983
    Abstract: The invention provides cell-based methods to detect and/or measure the BMP-12-related protein activity of a sample containing a BMP-12-related protein. The methods involve contacting a suitable cell with the sample, and measuring the expression level of at least one BMP-12-related-activity-marker. A dose-dependent increase(s) in the level(s) of the BMP-12-related-activity-markers is indicative of the BMP-12-related protein activity in the sample. The levels of the BMP-12-related-activity-markers of the invention exhibit a dose-responsive increase in response to known BMP-12-related proteins BMP-12, BMP-13, and MP-52, but not to the osteogenic protein, BMP-2.
