Abstract: Described herein are methods of identifying immunologically protective neo-epitopes from the cancer tissue DNA of cancer patients using biophysical principles as well as bioinformatics techniques. The identification of immunologically protective neo-epitopes provides pharmaceutical compositions with a limited number of tumor-specific peptides suitable for personalized genomics-driven immunotherapy of human cancer. Specifically disclosed herein is a method of using the conformational stability of an epitope in an MHC protein-binding groove to predict immunogenicity of peptides in a putative neo-peptide set from a tumor from a cancer patient. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods of administration are also included.

Abstract: It has been revealed that, from a pre-onset stage of Alzheimer's disease, enhancement of phosphorylations of MARCKS and the like causes abnormal spine formation or the like, consequently developing the disease. Moreover, it has also been revealed that the phosphorylations of MARCKS and the like are caused by PKC and the like, and further that b-raf is involved in the phosphorylation of a tau protein important for the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Thus, these proteins have been found to be target molecules useful in the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. In addition, it has also been revealed that, in a pre-onset stage of frontotemporal lobar degeneration also, b-RAF phosphorylation enhancement causes a decrease in the number of spines and the like, consequently developing the disease. Thus, b-RAF has been found to be a target molecule useful in the diagnosis and treatment of frontotemporal lobar degeneration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for inhibiting intracellular activated RAS using an intact immunoglobulin-type antibody having the ability to penetrate the cytosol. The present invention also relates to a heavy-chain variable region (VH) which induces an intact immunoglobulin-type antibody to actively penetrate the cytosol of living cells through endocytosis and endosomal escape and to bind to activated RAS in the cytosol, and to an antibody comprising the same. The present invention also relates to a method of inhibiting the growth of cancer or tumor cells and a method of treating cancer or tumor, by use of the antibody. The present invention also relates to a method for screening a heavy-chain variable region that binds specifically to RAS in the cytosol. The present invention also relates to a biologically active molecule fused to the antibody and selected from the group consisting of peptides, proteins, small-molecule drugs, nanoparticles and liposomes. The present invention also relates to a composition for prevention, treatment or diagnosis of cancer, comprising: the antibody; or a biological active molecule fused to the antibody and selected from the group consisting of peptides, proteins, small-molecule drugs, nanoparticles and liposomes. The present invention also relates to a polynucleotide that encodes the light-chain variable region and the antibody.According to the present invention, the method for inhibiting intracellular activated RAS using an intact immunoglobulin-type antibody having the ability to penetrate the cytosol is achieved by allowing the antibody to penetrate living cells and to specifically recognize activated (GTP-bound) RAS in the cytosol. Thus, the antibody can target activated (GTP-bound) RAS in the cytosol of living cells and inhibit the activity of the RAS.Furthermore, the antibody light-chain variable region according to the present invention and an antibody comprising the same is able to penetrate living cells and localize in the cytosol, without having to use a special external protein delivery system. Particularly, the antibody light-chain variable region according to the present invention can easily interact with various human heavy-chain variable regions (VHs) and has the ability to penetrate the cytosol and remain in the cytosol, and an intact IgG-type monoclonal antibody comprising the light-chain variable region can penetrate cells and localize in the cytosol, and shows no cytotoxicity non-specific for target cells.The antibody heavy-chain variable region according to the present invention and an antibody comprising the same can selectively inhibit mutations of the major drug resistance-related factor RAS of conventional various tumor therapeutic agents, and can exhibit synergistic anticancer activity with conventional therapeutic agents. In addition, the cytosol-penetrating, intact immunoglobulin-type antibody according to the present invention can penetrate cells and remain in the cytosol, without affecting the high specificity and affinity of a human antibody heavy-chain variable region (VH) for antigens, and thus can localize in the cytosol which is currently classified as a target in disease treatment based on small-molecule drugs, and at the same time, can exhibit high effects on the treatment and diagnosis of tumor and disease-related factors that show structurally complex interactions through a wide and flat surface between protein and protein.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are isolated polypeptides, antibody preparations, treatment methods, diagnostic methods, and screening methods related to tauopathy. Generally, the isolated polypeptide includes a core pentapeptide, with the proviso that the isolated polypeptide is not a native full-length tau protein. Generally, the antibody preparations include antibody that specifically binds to SEQ ID NO:12. Generally, the treatment methods include administering to a subject a composition that includes the isolated polypeptide. Generally, the diagnostic methods includes contacting a sample from a subject with an antibody preparation that includes antibody that specifically binds to SEQ ID NO:12, and then detecting a ligand in the sample that specifically binds the antibody preparation. Generally, the screening method includes incubating a mixture of caspase-2, a labeled caspase-2 cleavage substrate, and a test compound under conditions effective to permit the caspase-2 to cleave the caspase-2 cleavage substrate, then determining whether the test compound inhibits cleavage of the substrate by caspase-2.
