Zusammenfassung:Provided are unique affibodies specific for bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), inteleukin-4 (IL-4), and glial derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), and well as hydrogels that include the affibodies and the corresponding protein. Also provided are methods of using the hydrogels, for example to treat bone injury, wounds, and neuron injury. In some examples, the hydrogel includes at least two different affibodies specific for the same protein, but have different disassociation constants (KD).
