  • Patent number: 10809263
    Abstract: Provided are an autoantibody specifically binding to an exosomal protein EIF3A (Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit A) or a fragment including an antigen-binding site (paratope) thereof, a hybridoma cell line producing the autoantibody, a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence of an antigenic determinant (epitope) specifically binding to the autoantibody, a composition for diagnosing liver cancer including an agent measuring an expression level of the autoantibody or the fragment including the antigen-binding site thereof, a kit for diagnosing liver cancer including the composition, and a method of providing information for diagnosis of liver cancer by using the composition. Further, provided is a method of screening for a therapeutic agent for liver cancer by using an expression level of the autoantibody.

  • Patent number: 9234893
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cytokeratin 8/18 complex-specific autoantibody or a fragment comprising an antigen-binding site (paratope) thereof, the use thereof in the diagnosis of breast cancer, a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence of an epitope specifically binding to the autoantibody, a composition for diagnosing breast cancer comprising an agent capable of measuring an expression level of the autoantibody or the fragment comprising an antigen-binding site thereof, a hybridoma cell line producing the autoantibody, and a kit for diagnosing breast cancer comprising the composition of the present invention. Further, the present invention relates to a method for diagnosing breast cancer, comprising the step of detecting the cytokeratin 8/18 complex-specific autoantibody or the fragment comprising the antigen-binding site thereof using the composition of the present invention, and a method for screening a therapeutic agent for breast cancer using the autoantibody.

  • Patent number: 8658769
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an autoantibody specifically recognizing the epitope sequence of FASN (fatty acid synthase), more particularly, to the autoantibody or a fragment comprising an antigen-binding site thereof, a diagnostic composition for hepatocellular carcinoma comprising an agent capable of assessing the expression level of the autoantibody, a hybridoma cell line producing the autoantibody, a diagnostic kit for hepatocellular carcinoma comprising the composition, a method for detecting the autoantibody of hepatocellular carcinoma patient using the composition, and a method for screening a therapeutic agent for hepatocellular carcinoma by administering candidate materials for hepatocellular carcinoma treatment to confirm a reduction in the expression level of autoantibody.
