  • Publication number: 20090053136
    Abstract: Certain cells, including types of cancer cells such as lymphomas, are capable of expressing high levels of CD84Hy1. Immunotargeting using CD84Hy1 polypeptides, nucleic acids encoding for CD84Hy1 polypeptides and anti-CD84Hy1 antibodies provides a method of killing or inhibiting that growth of CD84HY1 Protein-expressing cancer cells. Methods of immunotherapy and diagnosis of disorders associated with CD84Hy1 protein-expressing cells are described.

  • Publication number: 20050281813
    Abstract: Certain cells, including types of cancer cells such as B-cell lymphomas, T cell lymphomas, Hodgkin's disease and myeloid leukemias, are capable of expressing Toll-like Receptor 9 (TLR9) or Toll-like Receptor 10 (TLR10) mRNA. Immunotargeting using TLR9 or TLR10 polypeptides, nucleic acids encoding for TLR9 or TLR10 polypeptides and anti-TLR9 or anti-TLR10 antibodies provides a method of killing or inhibiting that growth of cancer cells that express the TLR9 or TLR10 protein. Methods of immunotherapy and diagnosis of disorders associated with TLR9 or TLR10 protein-expressing cells, such as B-cell lymphoma, T cell lymphoma, acute myeloid leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, B cell leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes, are described.
