  • Haemopoietin receptor and genetic sequence encoding same
    Patent number: 7220828
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a novel haemopoietin receptor or derivatives thereof and to genetic sequences encoding same. Interaction between the novel receptor of the present invention and a cytokine ligand facilitates proliferation, differentiation and survival of a wide variety of cells. The novel receptor and its derivatives and the genetic sequences encoding same of the present invention are useful in the development of a wide range of agonists, antagonists, therapeutics and diagnostic reagents based on ligand interaction with its receptor.
    Type: Grant

  • SOCS-box containing peptides
    Publication number: 20060242718
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to amino acid sequences obtainable from SOCS proteins and which are capable of interacting with intracellular molecules. The present invention further relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding said amino acid sequences. The amino acid sequences and the nucleic acid molecules encoding same of the present invention are useful in modulating degradation of proteinaceous molecules such as but not limited to SOCS proteins and proteinaceous molecules associate therewith. The present invention provides a mechanism for modulating cytokine or cytokine-like molecule signaling by modulating the degradation of activated signal transduction molecules or their negative regulators, i.e. the SOCS proteins.
