BAG3 nucleotide and protein sequences to be used in research, diagnostics and therapy for cell death-involving diseases, and for modulation of cell survival and/or death

摘要

The present invention provides BAG3 nucleotide and protein sequences to be used in research, diagnostics and therapy for modulation of cell survival and/or death, in particular in leukemias, other neoplasias and apoptosis-involving diseases. More particularly the invention refers to the use of specific antisense-based constructs and peptide-specific polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies in leukemias, other neoplasias and cell death-involving diseases.
