Abstract: The present invention provides the new use of composition comprising at least one inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) for increasing migration and homing of haematopoetic progenitor cells in stem cell transplanted recipients, wherein said haematopoetic stem and/or progenitor cells had been treated in vitro with an engraftment enhancing compound, specifically with a prostacyclin analog and a cAMP enhancer before transplantation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel method for enhancing engraftment of haematopoetic stem cells by an ex-vivo pretreatment comprising the steps of obtaining a sample containing haematopoetic stem cells and admixing a prostacyclin analog to obtain a mixture, incubating said mixture for a period of time sufficient to stimulate G alphas-signalling in said cells and optionally and isolating said stimulated cells. Further, a composition comprising a prostacyclin analog for use in the treatment of individuals undergoing haematopoetic stem cell transplantation is provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions comprising a prostacyclin or prostacyclin analog, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for use in preventing or treating cystic fibrosis. The invention also provides the use of a kit comprising a prostacyclin or prostacyclin analog for treating or preventing a condition associated with cystic fibrosis in a subject.

Abstract: The present invention provides a composition comprising a prostacyclin analogue, derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for use in preventing or treating the sinusoidal obstruction syndrome and/or hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) as well as treatment regimens therefor.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the use of a compound stimulating deubiquitinating activity in a cell for the manufacture of a medicament for enhancing the expression of integral membrane proteins on the cell surface. Especially, the invention is directed to the use of such compound for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of a disease of condition selected from the group consisting of cystic fibrosis, diabetes insipidus, hypercholesterinaemia and long QT-syndrome-2.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a preparation based on an antibody directed against a tumor-associated glycosylation for preparing a medicament for the prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatment for the reduction or inhibition, respectively, of the growth of tumor cells in a cancer patient, as well as to a pharmaceutical preparation containing an antibody directed against a tumor-associated glycosylation. Moreover, the invention relates to a preparation for pharmaceutical and/or diagnostic use, a diagnostic method and an agent for determining the risk of metastasis formation in a cancer patient, as well as a method of producing a preparation based on a body fluid or tissue, in each case using the antibody directed against a tumor-associated glycosylation.
