  • Publication number: 20030177511
    Abstract: Disclosed is a transgenic non-human mammal, which carries in its cells an exogenously supplied rat pituitary tumor transforming gene (PTTG) polynucleotide sequence.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 21, 2002
    Publication date: September 18, 2003
    Inventors: Shlomo Melmed, Lin Pei
  • Publication number: 20030167496
    Abstract: Disclosed is a transgenic non-human mammal, which carries in its cells an exogenously supplied human pituitary tumor transforming gene (PTTG) polynucleotide sequence.

  • Publication number: 20030069197
    Abstract: PTTG polypeptides are expressed by the pituitary-tumor-transforming-gene (PTTG), formerly known as pituitary-tumor-specific-gene (PTSG), and nucleic acids encode them. Examples are the human and rat PTTG proteins. The nucleic acids may be applied to a method of producing PTTG polypeptide, and to the detection of the presence of PTTG genes in different species. The nucleic acids may be operatively linked to a vector, optionally provided with control and expression sequences and/or be carried by a recombinant host cell. PTTG oligonucleotide probes and primers are disclosed, which can be employed in diagnostic kits, in methods of identifying or isolating mammalian PTTG nucleic acid, and in a method for detecting a pathological mass associated with PTTG expression. An antisense oligonucleotide is disclosed. Compositions comprising PTTG nucleic acids are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6455305
    Abstract: Polypeptides are expressed by the pituitary-tumor-transforming-gene (PTTG), formerly known as pituitary-tumor-specific-gene (PTSG), and nucleic acids encode them. Examples are the human and rat PTTG proteins. The nucleic acids may be applied to the production of a recombinant protein, and to the detection of the presence of PTTG genes in different species. The nucleic acids may be operatively linked to a vector, optionally provided with control and expression sequences and/or being carried by a host cell. The nucleic acids may also be delivered to a mammal to compensate for the absence, or a defective expression, of endogenous protein. The nucleic acids, proteins, and antibodies are also employed in disgnostic assays, as well as, for example, in the production of anti-PTTG antibodies (protein), therapeutic compositions and other applications of the proteins and antibodies. Various kits utilize nucleic acids, polypeptides, and/or antibodies. A transgenic non-human mammal expresses PTTG.
