Abstract: Disclosed are concatameric proteins comprising two soluble domains, in which the C-terminus of a soluble domain of a biologically active protein is linked to the N-terminus of an identical soluble domain or a distinct soluble domain of a biologically active protein. Also, the present invention discloses dimeric proteins formed by formation of intermolecular disulfide bonds at the hinge region of two monomeric proteins formed by linkage of a concatamer of two identical soluble extracellular regions of proteins involving immune response to an Fc fragment of an immunoglobulin molecule, their glycosylated proteins, DNA constructs encoding the monomeric proteins, recombinant expression plasmids containing the DNA construct, host cells transformed or transfected with the recombinant expression plasmids, and a method of preparing the dimeric proteins by culturing the host cells. Further, the present invention discloses pharmaceutical or diagnostic compositions comprising the dimeric protein or its glycosylated form.

Abstract: This invention relates to a screening method for an inhibitor to cancer cell invasion, comprising the steps of: (a) co-culturing cancer cells and a carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in a multi-chamber containing a upper-chamber, a lower-chamber and a porous filter separating the upper-chamber from the lower-chamber; in which each cancer cells and CAFs is inoculated into the upper-chamber and the lower-chamber of the multi-chamber, and then a candidate is added to the upper-chamber; and (b) measuring the number of cancer cells passing the porous filter. According to the screening system and screening method using the same, the inhibitor to cancer cell invasion is able to be screened in a high-throughput manner.
