  • METHODS OF DETECTING PROSTATE CANCER
    Publication number: 20090155828
    Abstract: Proteins specific for prostate epithelial cells, normal or neoplastic, are identified and used for diagnosis, development of antibodies, and for evaluating drugs that react with the neoplastic specific proteins. Affinity based probes are used that react specifically with the active site to provide a measure of the enzyme activity of the cells. Prostate epithelial neoplastic cells can be used in screening candidate drugs for their effect in changing the proteome profile as to the serine-threonine hydrolase enzymes, using the affinity based probes for determining the profile.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 12, 2008
    Publication date: June 18, 2009
    Applicant: The Burnham Institute for Medical Research
    Inventors: Jeffrey W. Smith, Steven J. Kridel, Fumiko T. Axelrod
