  • Publication number: 20190368986
    Abstract: The current invention provides a method for directly converting histopathologically processed biological samples, tissues, and cells into a multiuse biomolecule lysate. This method allows for simultaneous extraction, isolation, solubilization, and storage of all biomolecules contained within the histopathologically processed biological sample, thereby forming a representative library of said sample. This multi-use biomolecule lysate is dilutable, soluble, capable of being fractionated, and used in any number of subsequent experiments.

  • Publication number: 20150005182
    Abstract: This patent application discloses and describes proteins found to be differentially expressed between primary tumor breast cancer cells that did not give rise to recurrent breast cancer disease after initial diagnosis and primary breast cancer cells that did give rise to recurrent breast cancer disease after initial diagnosis. These proteins can be used either individually or in specific combinations in diagnostic and prognostic protein assays on various biological samples from breast cancer patients to indicate the likelihood that a breast cancer patient's cancer will recur after initial diagnosis and treatment. Determination of differential expression of these proteins can also be useful for indicating additional therapies to combat the likelihood of recurrent breast cancer. The full length intact proteins can be assayed or peptides derived from these proteins can be assayed as reporters for these proteins.

  • Publication number: 20150005183
    Abstract: This patent application discloses and describes proteins found to be differentially expressed between primary tumor breast cancer cells histologicaly defined as early stage (stage 0) breast cancer and primary breast cancer cells histologicaly defined as late stage (stage 3) breast cancer. These proteins can be used either individually or in specific combinations in diagnostic and prognostic protein assays on various biological samples from breast cancer patients to indicate the that a breast cancer patient's cancer is in an early, non-aggressive stage or in a late, aggressive stage. Determination of differential expression of these proteins can also be useful for indicating additional therapies to combat the aggressiveness of late stage breast cancer. The full length intact proteins can be assayed or peptides derived from these proteins can be assayed as reporters for these proteins.

  • Patent number: 8609345
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for diagnosing diseases such as cancer and other conditions using biological samples. Liquid Tissue samples prepared from histopathologically prepared tissue obtained from a subject surprisingly can be used to identify and, optionally, to quantify analytes that are diagnostic of the presence of a disease, condition or syndrome in the subject.

  • Patent number: 8293485
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for multiplex analysis of biological samples of formalin-fixed tissue samples. The invention provides for a method to achieve a multiplexed, multi-staged plurality of Liquid Tissue preparations simultaneously from a single histopathologically processed biological sample, where the protocol for each Liquid Tissue preparation imparts a distinctive set of biochemical effects on biomolecules procured from histopathologically processed biological samples and which when each of the preparations is analyzed can render additive and complementary data about the same histopathologically processed biological sample.
