  • ANTIBODIES AGAINST MD2 PROTEIN
    Publication number: 20020102721
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of diagnosing cancer by determining the expression level or gene amplification of p53 and dm2, whereby an elevated level of either p53 or dm2 or both p53 and dm2 indicates a cancer diagnosis. Furthermore, the invention provides a method of predicting the progress of cancer by determining the expression level or gene amplification of p53 and dm2, whereby an elevated level of either p53 or dm2 or both 53 and dm2 indicates a poor prognosis.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 30, 1998
    Publication date: August 1, 2002
    Inventors: ARNOLD J. LEVINE, CATHY A. FINLAY, CARLOS CORDON-CARDO
  • Method for detecting pre-cancerous or cancerous cells using P90 antibodies or probes

Furthermore, the invention provides a method of predicting the progress of cancer by determining the expression level or gene amplification of p53 and dm2, whereby an elevated level of either p53 or dm2 or both p53 and dm2 indicated a poor prognosis.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 31, 1995
    Date of Patent: December 1, 1998
    Assignee: The Trustees of Princeton University
    Inventors: Arnold J. Levine, Cathy A. Finlay, Carlos Cordon-Cardo
  • Methods for detecting mutant p53
    Patent number: 5620848
    Abstract: A panel of probes detects and distinguishes between sets of human p53 gene or protein mutations that frequently occur or are selected for in pre-cancer and cancer cells Each set of mutations gives rise to a phenotype that is different from that of wild-type p53 and of at least one other set of p53 mutations.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 30, 1994
    Date of Patent: April 15, 1997
    Assignee: Trustees of Princeton University
    Inventors: Arnold J. Levine, Thomas E. Shenk, Cathy A. Finlay
