  • Publication number: 20080226646
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a protein that is differentially expressed in primary brain tumor tissues, as compared to normal brain tissues, as a biomolecular target for tumor treatment therapies. The protein is also expressed in tissues from adenocarcinoma, non-melanoma, and renal carcinoma cells. Immunotherapeutic and immunoimaging agents that specifically bind to an identified brain tumor target protein are provided. The present invention also provides compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions for administration in the methods of the invention.

  • Publication number: 20050260132
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of inhibiting growth of tumor cells which overexpress a receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase zeta (PTP?) by treatment of the cells with antibodies which recognize PTP? and/or inhibit PTP? function. The present invention also provides compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions for administration in the methods of the invention. The present invention also provides novel splice variants of protein PTP?, PTP? SM1 and PTP? SM2.

  • Publication number: 20040224337
    Abstract: PTPL1/FAP-1 is shown to be differentially expressed in primary brain tumor tissues, as compared to normal brain tissues. PTPL1/FAP-1 is useful as a biomolecular target for brain tumor treatment therapies. Agents are screened for their effect on PTPL1/FAP-1, and find use as therapeutic agents. Determination of PTPL1/FAP-1 overexpression provides diagnostic tests for detecting and staging brain tumors. The invention also provides compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions for administration to patients suffering from a brain tumor.
