Veterinary decorin compositions and use thereof
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to veterinary decorin compositions and methods of their production.
1. A veterinary decorin core protein molecule that is at least 98% identical to one of SEQ ID NOs:4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, and 27, wherein the veterinary core protein molecule comprises an aspartic acid residue at the N-terminus and does not comprise a serine residue at the fourth amino acid from the N-terminus.
2. The veterinary decorin core protein molecule of claim 1 , wherein said protein molecule is at least 99% identical to one of SEQ ID NOs:4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, and 27, wherein the veterinary core protein molecule comprises an aspartic acid residue at the N-terminus and does not comprise a serine residue at the fourth amino acid from the N-terminus.
3. The veterinary decorin core protein molecule of claim 1 , wherein said protein molecule is 100% identical to one of SEQ ID NOs:4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, and 27.
4. The veterinary decorin core protein molecule of claim 1 , wherein said core molecule is operably linked to a signal peptide that is exogenous to said veterinary decorin core protein molecule.
5. The veterinary decorin core protein molecule of claim 4 , wherein said signal peptide is a bovine lactalbumin signal peptide.
6. A composition comprising a veterinary decorin core protein molecule according to claim 1 in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
