Title:
ARTIFICIAL VESSELS, KITS AND METHODS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2009/004544
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An artificial vessel comprises elastic protein and vessel growth stimulator capable of stimulating vessel endothelial cell growth. Another artificial vessel comprises a tube formed of elastic protein and at least one element attached to the tube for physically stimulating vessel endothelial cell growth. Implant kits comprise such artificial vessels. Methods of manufacturing an artificial vessel using recombinant techniques comprise inducing expression of an elastic protein- vessel growth stimulator fusion protein from a fusion gene of an elastic protein and a vessel growth stimulator.
