  • Compositions and methods for the therapy and diagnosis of lung cancer
    Publication number: 20020147143
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for the therapy and diagnosis of cancer, particularly lung cancer, are disclosed. Illustrative compositions comprise one or more lung tumor polypeptides, immunogenic portions thereof, polynucleotides that encode such polypeptides, antigen presenting cell that expresses such polypeptides, and T cells that are specific for cells expressing such polypeptides. The disclosed compositions are useful, for example, in the diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment of diseases, particularly lung cancer.

  • Compositions and methods for the therapy and diagnosis of breast cancer
    Publication number: 20020146727
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for the therapy and diagnosis of cancer, particularly breast cancer, are disclosed. Illustrative compositions comprise one or more breast tumor polypeptides, immunogenic portions thereof, polynucleotides that encode such polypeptides, antigen presenting cell that expresses such polypeptides, and T cells that are specific for cells expressing such polypeptides. The disclosed compositions are useful, for example, in the diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment of diseases, particularly breast cancer.

  • Compositions and methods for the therapy and diagnosis of lung cancer
    Patent number: 6426072
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for the therapy and diagnosis of cancer, such as lung cancer, are disclosed. Compositions may comprise one or more lung tumor proteins, immunogenic portions thereof, or polynucleotides that encode such portions. Alternatively, a therapeutic composition may comprise an antigen presenting cell that expresses a lung tumor protein, or a T cell that is specific for cells expressing such a protein. Such compositions may be used, for example, for the prevention and treatment of diseases such as lung cancer. Diagnostic methods based on detecting a lung tumor protein, or mRNA encoding such a protein, in a sample are also provided.

    Inventors: Tongtong Wang, Liqun Fan, Michael D. Kalos, Chaitanya S. Bangur, Nancy A. Hosken, Gary R. Fanger, Samuel X. Li, Aijun Wang, Yasir A. W. Skeiky, Robert A. Henderson, Patricia D. McNeill
  • Compositions and methods for the therapy, diagnosis and monitoring of breast cancer
    Publication number: 20020082216
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for the therapy, diagnosis and monitoring of breast cancer are disclosed. Compositions may comprise one or more mammaglobin epitopes, or antibodies or T cells thereto, and may be used, for example, for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. Diagnostic methods based on detecting the presence of mammaglobin epitopes, or antibodies or T cells thereto, in a sample are also provided. Also provided are methods for detecting RNA encoding mammaglobin in patient blood or fractions thereof. These methods may be used to detect and/or monitor the progression of breast cancer.
