  • Patent number: 5651963
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the production of CSF-1 heterodimers and pharmaceutical formulations of the heterodimers. The heterodimers can be formed using CSF-1 monomers that have variations in sequence, N or C-terminal processing. For example, CSF/C.gradient.150 can be dimerized with LCSF/C.gradient. 190 to form a heterodimer. Dimerization may occur by separately preparing homodimers and mixing them together under the appropriate conditions. Thereafter, homodimers may be separated from the heterodimers by various chromatographic techniques. Once the heterodimers are isolated, pharmaceutical preparations can be prepared.
