Abstract: A method for treating subjects with abnormal cell proliferation is provided. The method involves administering to subjects in need of such treatment an effective amount of an agent of Formula I, to inhibit cell proliferation such as that associated with tumor growth and metastasis. A method for inhibiting angiogenesis in an abnormal proliferative cell mass by the administration of an agent of Formula I is also provided.

Abstract: Methods and products for stimulating hematopoiesis, preventing low levels of hematopoietic cells and producing increased numbers of hematopoietic and mature blood cells are provided. The methods and products can be used both in vivo and in vitro. The methods involve administering an agent of Formula I wherein m is an integer between 0 and 10, inclusive; A and A1 are L-amino acid residues such that the A in each repeating bracketed unit can be the same or a different amino acid residue; the C bonded to B is in the L-configuration; the bonds between A and N, A1 and C, and between A1 and N are peptide bonds; and each X1 and X2 is, independently, a hydroxyl group or a group capable of being hydrolyzed to a hydroxyl group in aqueous solution at physiological pH. The products include kits comprising the agent of Formula I.

Abstract: Polypeptides and proteins comprising the CD2-binding domain of LFA-3 are disclosed. DNA sequences that code on expression for those polypeptides and proteins, methods of producing and using those polypeptides and proteins, and therapeutic and diagnostic compositions are also disclosed. Deletion mutants unable to bind CD2 and methods for their use are also disclosed. In addition, fusion proteins which comprise the CD2-binding domain of LFA-3 and a portion of a protein other than LFA-3, DNA sequences encoding those fusion proteins, methods for producing those fusion proteins, and uses of those fusion proteins are disclosed.
