Abstract:
A method of inhibiting angiogenesis or neoplastic growth, or both, in a bird or mammal is disclosed. The method involves identifying an animal that has, or is at risk for, unwanted angiogenesis or neoplastic growth or both, and administering to the animal an amount of a plasminogen-related gene-B polypeptide sufficient to inhibit the angiogenesis or neoplastic growth.
