摘要:
Novel MCP-1 splice variant polypeptides and polynucleotides encoding same are provided. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the splice variant polypeptides and polynucleotides, vectors and host cells comprising same. The compositions of the present invention are useful to treat various MCP-1 related disorders as well as for diagnosing, determining predisposition and/or prognosis of various disorders.
摘要:
Novel markers for lung cancer that are both sensitive and accurate. These markers are overexpressed in lung cancer specifically, as opposed to normal lung tissue. The measurement of these markers, alone or in combination, in patient samples provides information that the diagnostician can correlate with a probable diagnosis of lung cancer. The markers of the present invention, alone or in combination, show a high degree of differential detection between lung cancer and non-cancerous states.

Novel markers for cardiac disease that are both sensitive and accurate. These markers are differentially and/or specifically expressed in cardiac tissue, as opposed to other types of tissues, optionally and preferably including muscle tissue. The measurement of these markers, alone or in combination, in patient samples provides information that the diagnostician can correlate with a probable diagnosis of cardiac disease, including pathology and/or damage, including acute and/or chronic damage. The markers of the present invention, alone or in combination, show a high degree of differential detection between cardiac disease states and non-cardiac disease states.
摘要:
Novel polypeptides and polynucleotides encoding same are provided. Also provided methods and phamaceutical compositions which can be used to treat various disorders such as cancer and retinopathies, using the polypeptides and polynucleotides of the present invention.
摘要:
Novel markers for colon cancer that are both sensitive and accurate. These markers are overexpressed in colon cancer specifically, as opposed to normal colon tissue. The measurement of these markers, alone or in combination, in patient samples provides information that the diagnostician can correlate with a probable diagnosis of colon cancer. The markers of the present invention, alone or in combination, show a high degree of differential detection between colon cancer and non-cancerous states.
摘要:
Provided are substantially pure CD40 splice variants that include altered internal sequences and unique tail sequences relative to previously described CD40 protein sequences. Also provided are fragments of the CD40 splice variants comprising at least 10 amino acids including at least 4 amino acids of the unique tail sequence; the unique tail sequences, and homologues thereof having at least 10 amino acids and 90% identity and antibodies which bind to an epitope on such proteins are disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the protein, antibodies, isolated nucleic acid molecule that encode such proteins and pharmaceutical composition comprising such nucleic acid molecules are also disclosed. The present invention additionally relates to recombinant expression vectors that include the nucleic acid molecules and host cells which comprise such recombinant expression vectors are disclosed. In vitro methods of detecting in a sample the presence and/or quantity of such proteins or transcript which encodes such proteins are disclosed as are kits and reagents for performing the methods. Methods of modulating CD40-CD154 interactions in an individual are disclosed.
