METHODS TO RELIEF CANCER SYMPTOMS.

摘要

Use of a morphogen comprising a dimeric protein having an amino acid sequence with at least 70% amino acid homology or at least 60% amino acid identity with residues 330-431 of SEQ ID NO: 2, the amino acids being able to be measured and the homology by the PAM250 matrix method described by Dayhoff et al [Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure, volume 5, 345-352 (1978)], in the preparation of a medicament for alleviating the symptoms of cancer, wherein the Morphogen inhibits the growth of cancer cells.
