A method of treating a patient having cancer comprising administering an effective amount of a purified antibody recognizing at least one of a conserved zinc finger linker sequence of TGEKPY (SEQ ID NO: 1), TGEKPYK (SEQ ID NO: 2), and TGEKPYE (SEQ ID NO: 3) is set forth. A diagnostic kit and an affinity matrix detecting one of these conserved zinc finger linker sequences are disclosed. A method of detecting cancerous cells comprising subjecting a cancerous cell to a purified pan-ZNF specific antibody is provided.

Abstract: It has been discovered that administering therapeutically effective amounts of an antibiotic that kills Gram-negative bacteria, together with an anti-ceramide antibody or anti-ceramide mimetic, treats and prevents an array of diseases mediated by cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL)-induced killing and/or by damage to endothelial microvasculature, including Radiation GI syndrome, GvHD disease, inflammatory diseases and autoimmune diseases.

Abstract: Anti-CD133 monoclonal antibodies having advantageous properties; products, compositions and kits comprising the monoclonal antibodies; methods (processes) of making the monoclonal antibodies and related compositions, as well as methods of using the monoclonal antibodies in analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Abstract: The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.

Abstract: Cells within liver tumour mass comprise a unique set of proteins/tumour antigens when compared to the normal liver tissues epithelial cells juxtaposed to the tumour. The presence of tumour antigens couples the production of auto-antibodies against these tumour antigens. The present invention relates to the identification and elucidation of a protein set that can act as a novel marker set for liver cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Specifically, it relates to a kit that enables diagnostic and prognostic measurement of auto-antibodies in serum of liver cancer patients. The present invention provides a non-invasive, specific, sensitive, and cost effective detection and quantification method by evaluating a set of validated liver cancer proteins/tumour antigens, which includes Bmi-1, VCC1, SUMO-4, RhoA, TXN, ET-1, UBE2C, HDGF2, FGF21, LECT2, SOD1, STMN4, Midkine, IL-17A or IL26, to complement the conventional diagnostic methods.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to antibodies binding to MUC1-C/extracellular domain (MUC1-C/ECD) and methods of using such antibodies to treat cancers that express the MUC1 antigen.

Abstract: The invention provides seminal computational approaches utilizing data from non-rare cells to detect rare cells, such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs). The invention is applicable at two distinct stages of CTC detection; the first being to make decisions about data collection parameters and the second being to make decisions during data reduction and analysis. Additionally, the invention utilizes both one and multi-dimensional parameterized data in a decision making process.

Abstract: The current invention discloses targeted drug delivery conjugates comprising a targeting moiety linked to a drug via a molecule having an affinity for the targeting moiety. Typically, the conjugate comprises a targeting ligand and a molecule of interest, e.g., a therapeutic agent. The targeting ligand and the molecule of interest are linked to each other via an affinity ligand. The affinity ligand is further covalently or non-covalently linked to a drug or therapeutic agent. The drug can be modified to make it more soluble and so that it cleaves from the linking molecule at the target site.
