Abstract: Fragments of an endothelial cell proliferation inhibitor and method of use therefor are provided. The endothelial proliferation inhibitor is a protein derived from plasminogen, or more specifically is an angiostatin fragment. The angiostatin fragments generally correspond to kringle structures occurring within the endothelial cell proliferation inhibitor. The endothelial cell inhibiting activity of these fragments provides a means for inhibiting angiogenesis of tumors and for treating angiogenic-mediated disease.

Abstract: Nucleic acid sequences encoding kringle region fragments of plasminogen. Ribonucleic and deoxyribonucleic acid sequences that encode for kringle region fragments are useful for gene therapy or recombinant expression for the treatment of angiogenesis-related diseases, specifically angiogenesis-dependent cancer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of of transferring genomic DNA from apoptotic bodies to engulfing cells, wherein DNA is transferred from a donor cell to a recipient cell. More specifically the method includes providing somatic donor cells comprising desired DNA; generating apoptotic bodies of said donor cells; incubation of the apoptotic bodies with engulfing recipient cells under biological conditions allowing uptake of DNA from the apoptotic bodies by said recipient cells; and optionally selecting recipient cells which have integrated DNA from the apoptotic bodies. The present method is useful in various pharmaceutical applications, such as in vaccine preparations and gene identification procedures.

Abstract: The invention provides for methods of reducing or inhibiting angiogenesis, tumor growth and endothelial cell proliferation by the administration of compositions containing fragments, conformations, biological equivalent, or derivatives of antithrombin III. The invention also provides for pharmaceutical compositions comprising a fragment, conformation, biological equivalent, or derivative of antithrombin III and methods of identifying novel inhibitors of tumor growth, endothelial cell proliferation, and/or angiogenesis. The invention also relates to compositions and methods for altering angiogenesis in a mammal, as well as to methods of treatment for disorders associated with angiogenesis (e.g., cancer).
