Abstract
Abstract The present invention provides osteogenically active protein preparations comprising a heterodimer of P3 OF 31-34 subunit B and P3 OF 31-34 subunit D, which subunits are linked with at least one disulfide bond and methods for their preparation. The invention further provides cell lines transformed with nucleotide sequences encoding P3 OF 31-34 subunit B and P3 OF 31-34 subunit D and vectors comprising those sequences in operative association with an expression control sequence.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
168 words
A device for implantation into a mammal comprising a structural member encoated with a composition comprising a physiologically acceptable matrix material and an osteogenic protein preparation comprising a heterodimer of a first polypeptide subunit and a second polypeptide subunit, the preparation produced according to the method of culturing in a suitable medium a cell line transformed with a first and a second nucleotide sequence, said first nucleotide sequence being selected from the group consisting of: the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 3; and a nucleotide sequence which encodes the same sequence of amino acids as encoded by the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 3; and said second nucleotide sequence being selected from the group consisting of: the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1; and a nucleotide sequence which encodes the same sequence of amino acids as encoded by the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1; to produce said heterodimer, and isolating said preparation from the cell culture medium.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
