Abstract

A method of modulating angiogenesis in a vertebrate subject, the method comprising administering to the vertebrate subject an ECRTP/DEP-1 receptor activity-modulating amount of a composition, whereby an ECRTP/DEP-1 receptor within the vertebrate subject is contacted by the composition; and modulating angiogenesis through the contacting of the ECRTP/DEP-1 receptor with the composition. Optionally, the composition includes a monoclonal antibody which preferentially binds the ECRTP/DEP-1 receptor.
