  • Publication number: 20160326562
    Abstract: Herein is reported a method for producing a fusion-polypeptide comprising the steps of a) cultivating a mammalian cell comprising a nucleic acid encoding a variant fusion-polypeptide wherein the amino acid sequence of the fusion-polypeptide has been modified by replacing in a pro-fusion-polypeptide the endogenous protease cleavage site between the pro-peptide and the fusion-polypeptide with an exogenous (with respect to the origins of the parts of the fusion-polypeptide) or artificial protease cleavage site, and b) recovering the fusion-polypeptide or fusion-pro-polypeptide from the cell or the cultivation medium and thereby producing the (recombinant) fusion-polypeptide.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to molecules interfering with the function of neuropilin-1 in the context of angiogenesis and the treatment of cancer. Molecules, polypeptides, antibodies, compositions and methods are provided that are useful for reducing, inhibiting or treating angiogenesis, the invasion of blood vessels into tumors, and/or the invasion or the metastatic potential of specific tumor cells. Additionally, a method is provided that allows identifying molecules, which interfere with the functionality of neuropilin-1. Furthermore, a method is provided that allows determining whether a naturally occurring tumor cell depends on functional neuropilin-1 for its invasiveness and/or metastatic potential.
