ABSTRACT:
A method of treating pulmonary hypertension in a subject in need of such treatment comprises inhibiting EMAP II activity in the subject by an amount effective to treat the pulmonary hypertension in the subject (e.g., in the lungs and more particularly in the pulmonary vasculature). Pharmaceutical formulations useful for carrying out such methods (e.g., an antibody that specifically binds to EMAP II in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier) and screening techniques useful for identifying additional compounds that can be used for carrying out such methods are also disclosed.
