  • Methods of detecting ovarian neoplasia
    Publication number: 20050272034
    Abstract: Methods for diagnosing ovarian neoplasia, monitoring ovarian cancer therapy, and monitoring progression of disease in subjects based on the level of the proform of major basic protein in biological samples from the subjects are described.
    Type: Application

  • Longevity and PAPP-A
    Publication number: 20050232863
    Abstract: This document provides materials and methods related to PAPP-A polypeptides, aging, and transgenic non-human mammals whose genomes comprise a disrupted PAPP-A allele. Methods for making such transgenic non-human mammals, and using them and other mammals to identify and characterize agents that affect conditions related to PAPP-A activity, such as vascular restenosis, atherosclerosis, wound healing, cancer, fibrosis, bone development, fetal development, longevity, and fracture repair, also are provided.
    Type: Application
    Filed: March 30, 2005
    Publication date: October 20, 2005
    Inventor: Cheryl Conover
