POLYPEPTIDE THROMBOPOIETIN (TPO), DNA ENCODING POLYPEPTIDE TPO (VERSIONS), METHOD OF PREPARING POLYPEPTIDE (VERSIONS), PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION, METHOD OF TREATMENT (VERSIONS), ANTIBODY AGAINST POLYPEPTIDE TPO Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: genetic engineering, molecular biology, medicine, pharmacy. SUBSTANCE: polypeptide thrombopoietin (TPO) shows biological activity of specific stimulation or enhancement of platelets formation. Amino acid sequence of TPO is given in description as well as DNA encoding polypeptide TPO with amino acid sequence given in description. Polypeptide TPO is obtained by its expression in suitable host followed by its isolation. Pharmaceutical composition for treatment of platelet-associated disorders comprises effective amount of polypeptide TPO and acceptable carrier. Pharmaceutical composition is administrated to subject in effective amount for treatment of platelet-associated disorders, for example, thrombocytopenia. Immunization of animal with polypeptide TPO is carried out and antibodies raised against this polypeptide are isolated. Invention ensures to perform effective treatment of disorders associated with platelets. EFFECT: improved method of preparing and treatment. 34 cl, 34 dwg, 9 tbl
