  • Detection and treatment of breast and gynecological cancer
    Patent number: 5939277
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for detecting the presence of HIV-I-crossreactive breast and gynecological cancer-associated antigens in biological samples and to methods for treating these cancers. In a preferred embodiment, these methods utilize a monoclonal antibody developed against a synthetic peptide corresponding to the variable domain of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-I) envelope protein gp120 (amino acid regions 308-322). Regions of homology between HIV-I and breast and gynecological cancer sequences are identified as are methods for diagonals and treatment based on the conserved genetic sequences.
