摘要:
The present invention relates to a biomarker for early stage ovarian cancer. Specifically, expression of the biomarker Annexin A2 is higher in the plasma of subjects with early stage ovarian cancer. Accordingly, methods of detecting early stage ovarian cancer in a subject, of identifying a subject having early stage ovarian cancer, and of determining if a subject is susceptible to developing ovarian cancer, are provided. Also provided are methods of screening candidate therapeutic agents for use in treating early stage ovarian cancer, and compositions and kits for detecting early stage ovarian cancer in a subject, for identifying a subject having early stage ovarian cancer, and for determining if a subject is susceptible to developing ovarian cancer.
摘要:
Annexin A3 (ANAX3) is utilized as a biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the utilization of a monoclonal antibody against ANXA3 or antisense polynucleotide against ANXA3 mRNA for the suppression or treatment of HCC, alone or in combination with other HCC treatment. Monoclonal antibody against ANXA3 can be administered for the suppression of tumor growth, metastasis, and chemoresistance.

A method treats urogenital and/or intestinal tract cancer and includes administering a therapeutically effective amount of at least one annexion protein, annexin of A3, to a mammal.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for the diagnosis of prostate carcinoma comprising the determination of annexin A3 (ANXA3) and/or autoantibodies against ANXA3 with a specific reagent. The method allows differentiation between benign, premalignant and malignant conditions. Further, the method has a prognostic relevance.
摘要:
A method for identifying, diagnosing, and monitoring cancerous lung tissues in a subject may include measuring the expression of at least one biomarker in a biological sample in the subject, and comparing the expression against a normal value. When a differential expression of the at least one biomarker between the biological sample and the normal value is more than 1.5-fold, the lung tissue sample is cancerous. The at least one biomarker is selected from the group consisting of peroxiredoxin I, peroxiredoxin II, peroxiredoxin III, peroxiredoxin IV, peroxiredoxin VI, chaperonin, amyloid-P-component, annexin V, dihydropyrimidinase-like 2 protein, glutamate carboxypeptidase, 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate mutase, thymidine phosphorylase, prolyl-4 hydroxylase, selenium binding protein 1, β-mitochondrial ATP synthase H+ transporting F1 complex, laminin-binding protein, minichromosome maintenance deficient protein 5 variant, keratin 9, keratin 10, napsin A aspartic peptidase, M2-type pyruvate kinase, and apolipoprotein A-I.
摘要:
Provided is a method of identifying a trophoblast by detecting in cells of a biological sample, with the proviso that the biological sample does not comprise a placental tissue, expression of a trophoblast marker selected from the group consisting of an annexin IV, a cytokeratin-7, a cytokeratin-8 and a cytokeratin-19; and classifying cells exhibiting expression of the trophoblast marker as trophoblasts. Also provided are methods of detecting a pregnancy in a subject, isolating trophoblasts from biological samples and prenatally diagnosing a conceptus using the identified trophoblasts.
摘要:
Methods and compositions for treating, detecting, diagnosing or assisting in the diagnosis of an inflammatory or immunological disorder are provided. The authors have made the novel discovery that anti-dsDNA antibodies are reactive to cell surface annexin II and through this interaction, anti-dsDNA antibodies are bound and then internalized and translocated into the cytoplasm and/or nucleus where they mediate altered cellular functions. Compositions that inhibit or interfere with the interaction of annexin II with anti-dsDNA antibodies can be used to treat one or more symptoms or pathological processes of an inflammatory or immunological disorder, preferably an auto-immune disorder. Methods for monitoring the progression or severity of an inflammatory or immunological disorder are also provided. In certain embodiments, levels of annexin II and/or anti-dsDNA antibodies, including anti-dsDNA antibodies that can bind to annexin II, are assessed and compared to a reference level of annexin II and/or anti-dsDNA antibodies that corresponds to a specific stage or severity of the disorder.

A tumor necrosis factor and lymphotoxin homolog having apoptotic activity, identified as Apo-3 Ligand, is provided. Nucleic acid molecules encoding Apo-3 Ligand, chimeric molecules and antibodies to Apo-3 Ligand are also provided.
摘要:
The invention provides methods for prognosis, diagnosis, staging and disease progression in human cancer patients related to expression levels of a plurality of genes that are differentially expressed in chemotherapeutic drug resistant and drug sensitive tumor cells.
摘要:
The present invention provides a process and regent for analyzing annexin-V, wherein the measurement of a concentration of annexin-V can be easily carried out without need for addition of chemicals for inhibiting the bonding of various proteins with calcium ion and for adjusting a specimen solution to the specimen at a measuring stage, and a process and medicine for diagnosing an internal organ disorder based on the analyzing process and regent. A urine is brought into contact with an anti-annexin-V monoclonal antibody to perform an antigen-antibody reaction of annexin-V in the urine with the anti-annexin-V monoclonal antibody, thereby forming an annexin-V antigen/anti-annexin-V monoclonal antibody complex, and the amount of the formed annexin-V antigen/anti-annexin-V monoclonal antibody complex is quantitatively measured. Thus, it is possible to carry out the measurement of the concentration of annexin-V in the urine, and it is possible to carry out the diagnosis of an internal organ disorder such as a disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome, the diagnose of acute nephritis and the like by a analyzed value of concentration of annexin-V measured in the urine.
