Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method useful for detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, preventing or treating, or determining predisposition to diseases or conditions of the breast such as breast cancer. SOLUTION: A set of contiguous or partially overlapping RNA sequences, and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as BS106 and transcribed from breast tissue is provided. The sequences are useful for detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, preventing or treating, or determining the predisposition of an individual to diseases or conditions of the breast such as the breast cancer. Furthermore, there is provided an antibody which specifically binds to BS106-encoded polypeptide or protein, and an agonist or inhibitor which prevents action of the tissue-specific BS106 polypeptide, which molecules are useful for the therapeutic treatment of breast diseases, tumors or metastases.

Abstract:
A set of contiguous and partially overlapping cDNA sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as PCIGF and transcribed from prostate tissue, is described. These sequences are useful for the detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, in vivo imaging, preventing or treating, or determining the predisposition of an individual to diseases and conditions of the prostate, such as prostate cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to PCIGF-encoded polypeptide or protein, and agonists or inhibitors which prevent action of the tissue-specific PCIGF polypeptide, which molecules are useful for the therapeutic treatment of prostate diseases, tumors or metastases.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an improved enzymatic diagnostic assay to detect carcinoma by measuring various lysophospholipids, including lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), in a patient. In a preferred embodiment, this assay measures the human plasma level of LPA in an automated format with a minimal number of reagents and with reduced incubation periods. The present invention also comprises several additional technical improvements to the current LPA assays disclosed in the prior art.
Abstract:
Provided herein are methods for detecting multiple target nucleic acid sequences in a test sample. Also provided is a hybridization platform useful for detecting multiple target sequences in a test sample. The hybridization platform comprises a solid support material having a defined pattern of capture probes immobilized thereon.
Abstract:
Multimeric polypeptides antigens comprising polypeptides designated as BS106 and transcribed from breast tissue is described. These sequences are useful for the detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring prognosticating or determining the predisposition of an individual to diseases and conditions of the breast such as breast cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to BS106-encoded polypeptide or protein.
Abstract:
A set of contiguous and partially overlapping cDNA sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as PS214 and transcribed from prostate, breast, or ovary tissue, is described. These sequences are useful for the detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, in vivo imaging, preventing or treating, or determining the predisposition of an individual to diseases and conditions of the prostate, breast, or ovary, such as prostate, breast, or ovarian cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to PS214-encoded polypeptide or protein, and agonists or inhibitors which prevent action of the tissue-specific PS214 polypeptide, which molecules are useful for the therapeutic treatment of prostate, breast, or ovary diseases, tumors or metastases.
Abstract:
Nucleic acid sequences are provided that are useful as amplification primers and hybridization probes for detecting CK19 target sequence in a test sample. The primers and probes can be employed in amplification based methods for detecting the presence of CK19 sequences in a test sample. The amplification product can be detected with the assistance of microparticle capture techniques.
Abstract:
A set of contiguous and partially overlapping cDNA sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as BU101 and transcribed from breast tissue, is described. These sequences are useful for the detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, in vivo imaging, preventing or treating, or determining the predisposition of an individual to diseases and conditions of the breast, such as breast cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to BU101-encoded polypeptide or protein, and agonists or inhibitors which prevent action of the tissue-specific BU101 polypeptide, which molecules are useful for the therapeutic treatment of breast diseases, tumors or metastases.
Abstract:
A set of contiguous and partially overlapping cDNA sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as PA153 and transcribed from pancreatic tissue, are described. These sequences are useful for the detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, in vivo imaging, preventing or treating, or determining the predisposition of an individual to diseases and conditions of the pancreas, such as pancreatic cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to PA153-encoded polypeptide or protein, and agonists or inhibitors which prevent action of the tissue-specific PA153 polypeptide, which molecules are useful for the therapeutic treatment of pancreatic diseases, tumors or metastases.
