  • Publication number: 20230063827
    Abstract: A diagnostic reagent or device comprises at least one ligand capable of specifically complexing with, binding to, or quantitatively detecting or identifying the biomarker chloride intracellular channel protein 4 (CLIC4) or an isoform, pro-form, modified molecular form including posttranslational modification, or unique peptide fragment or nucleic acid fragment thereof. An alternative diagnostic reagent or device comprises ligand or ligands capable of specifically complexing with, binding to, or quantitatively detecting or identifying multiple tropomyosin biomarkers. Optionally, such reagent or device includes a signaling molecule and/or a substrate on which the ligand is immobilized. Other reagents and methods of diagnosing ovarian cancer include use of CLIC4 ligands and/or multiple tropomyosin ligands with an additional ovarian cancer biomarker. For example, CLIC4 combined with one or more of CLIC1 and/or one or multiple members of the tropomyosin family, e.g.

  • Publication number: 20140274794
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for diagnosing ovarian cancer in a mammalian subject, preferably in a serum or plasma sample of a human subject. The methods and compositions enable the detection or measurement in the sample or from a protein level profile generated from the sample, the protein level of one or more specified biomarkers. Comparing the protein level(s) of the biomarker(s) in the subject's sample or from protein abundance profile of multiple biomarkers, with the level of the same biomarker(s) or profile in a reference standard, permits the determination of a diagnosis of ovarian cancer, or the identification of a risk of developing ovarian cancer, or enables the monitoring of the status of progression or remission of ovarian cancer in the subject followed during a therapeutic protocol.
