USE OF LONG PENTRAXIN PTX3 FOR THE TREATMENT OF INFERTILITY IN WOMEN

摘要

The PTX3 gene or equivalent PTX3 activity is required for female fertility. Manipulation of PTX3 activity will regulate female fertility. The effects of female sterility may be ameliorated, reproductive ability may be increased or decreased as desired, female fertility may be enhanced, or combinations thereof. The need for therapies that affect female fertility is thereby addressed.
