Publication number: 20100183630Abstract: Surprisingly, the present inventors have discovered that expression of TAT-005 protein in human patients is associated with cancer, and that the over-expressed protein is present in plasma membrane fractions. Thus, the present inventors have discovered that TAT-005 is associated with abnormal development and growth, and may be useful as a target for the identification of anti-cancer com\ pounds, including antibodies for use in immunotherapy. Accordingly, the present invention provides methods for the identification of compounds that inhibit TAT-005 expression or activity, comprising: contacting a candidate compound with a TAT-005 and detecting the presence or absence of binding between said compound and said TAT-005, or detecting a change in TAT-005 expression or activity. Methods are also included for the identification of compounds that modulate TAT-005 expression or activity, comprising: administering a compound to a cell or cell population, and detecting a change in TAT-005 expression or activity.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2006Publication date: July 22, 2010Inventors: Marcelo Filgueira, Daniel Chelsky, Joel Lanoix, Kevin Eng, Pierre Thibault, Denis Faubert, Navdeep Jaitly, Sylvain Brunet, Frank R.M.
