  • DNA encoding a novel RG1 polypeptide
    Patent number: 6682902
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel human extracellular matrix polypeptides, designated RG1, polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, methods for producing the polypeptides, expression vectors and genetically engineered host cells for expression of the polypeptides. The invention further relates to methods for utilizing the polynucleotides and polypeptides in research, diagnosis, and therapeutic applications.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 7, 2000
    Date of Patent: January 27, 2004
    Assignee: Schering Aktiengesellschaft

  • Metal-binding cystein-free peptides for diagnostic and therapeutical purposes, methods for their production, and pharmaceuticals containing these compounds
    Patent number: 6291639
    Abstract: These invention relates to metal-complexing, cysteine-free peptides which may be coupled to an organ-specific probe directly or via a linker and are thus enriched as conjugates specifically in tumors, organs, tissues or centers of inflammation. The organ-specific probes used are, for example, antibodies or part-sequences of antibodies against tumor-associated antigens, e.g. the carcino-embryonal antigen (CEA, which are thus specifically enriched in tumors. The invention also relates to processes for producing the metal-complexing cysteine-free peptides and their conjugates. The present invention also relates to the use of the conjugates as components of a kit for in vivo diagnosis or in vivo therapy and radio-pharmaceuticals containing these conjugates together with radio-isotopes. The organ-specific conjugates are used to image tumors, organs or centers of inflammation.
