Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an anti-CKAP4 monoclonal antibody that inhibits the binding of DKK1 and CKAP4 and exhibits an exceptional antitumor effect. Provided is an anti-CKAP4 monoclonal antibody that recognizes at least part of the 451-455 region, at least part of the 481-485 region, at least part of the 502-510 region, at least part of the 503-524 region and at least part of the 585-590 region, or at least part of the 585-592 region of the amino acid sequence (amino acid sequence of CKAP4) represented by SEQ ID NO:1 as an epitope, the anti-CKAP4 monoclonal antibody effectively inhibiting the binding of DKK1 and CKAP4, the activation of AKT of S2-CP8 cells, and the proliferative ability of S2-CP8 cells or the migratory ability of S2-CP8 cells, and exhibiting an exceptional antitumor effect.
Abstract: The present inventive concept is related to antibodies, such as recombinant humanized and monoclonal antibodies, methods of making antibodies, and methods of using antibodies, such as antibodies directed toward and capable of specifically binding to and clearing amyloid-beta (A?) plaques in the brain that are suitable for use in the treatment of disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD).

Abstract: The use of a genetic method to down-regulate RBO/EFR3/EFR3A/EFR3B proteins, TTC7 protein or PI4KIII? enzyme protein which interacts with RBO/EFR3/EFR3A/EFR3B proteins and TTC7 protein, or the use of a drug to inhibit PI4KIII? protein kinase activity reduces the accumulation of A?42 within neurons and age-dependent synaptic transmission failure and other obstacles in a fruit fly AD model, and obtains an effect of improving the learning and memory abilities of AD model mice. Provided is a method for using an RBO/EFR3/EFR3A/EFR3B inhibitor, a TTC7 inhibitor and a PI4KIII? inhibitor to treat Alzheimer's disease. Also provided is a method for screening a drug treating Alzheimer's disease by whether A? secretion by nerve cells is promoted or not.
Abstract: A purified antibody, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, is provided that binds selectively to a protein specific to an X-chromosome of a mammalian sperm cell. The sperm cell protein includes an amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 4 and 9-16. The antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof may be derived by immunization of a host by an antigenic peptide composition including one or more natural or synthetic antigenic peptide sequences set forth as SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ ID NO: 3, and SEQ ID NOs: 4 and 9-16. The antibody finds utility in identifying an X-chromosome bearing sperm cell population, and in methods for skewing a sex ratio in mammals. Embodiments of the subject antibodies referred to herein as anti-GX1-E protein antibody and anti-GX1-M protein antibody have the ATCC Patent Deposit Designations PTA-125897 and PTA-125898, having been deposited on Apr. 2, 2019.
