  • Method of reducing immunological tolerance to malignancy
    Patent number: 8679780
    Abstract: Disclosed are therapeutic formulations comprising myristoylCoA and N-myristoyl transferase and methods of using such formulations to stimulate the immune system of a mammal afflicted with carcinoma and having a detectable blood level of unacylated A-protein to produce an immune response thereto. Also disclosed are methods of treating an A-protein displaying carcinoma in a mammal.

  • Protein as a diagnostic of cancer
    Patent number: 6187549
    Abstract: The presence of A-protein in an abnormally large amount in a sample, such as blood, from an individual is diagnostic of primary or metastatic cancer in the individual. The presence of A-protein is most readily detected by immunological reaction of it with specific antibodies. A preferred procedure for detecting the presence of A-protein in samples is by a sandwich assay using two antibodies with different epitopic specificities for A-protein.

  • Method for regulating cellular signal transducing system
    Patent number: 5100661
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of inhibiting inositol metabolism in a cell. This method includes introducing into a cell a binding molecule which reduces inositol metabolism by reacting with A-protein or an A-protein containing complex. The binding molecule is an antibody which may be introduced into the cell via a liposome.
