  • Patent number: 7863004
    Abstract: There is provided a diagnostic tool for use in diagnosing diseases, the tool having a detector for detecting the presence of an array of markers indicative of disease. Also provided is a combination of markers for disease, the combination including at least two markers of the disease. A method of choosing such combinations of markers for a given disease as well as a method for detecting a combination of markers for diagnosing the presence of a disease state or determining a disease stage is also provided. The method includes selectively biopanning sera obtained from a patient to obtain cDNA clones to array for analysis and determining if the markers are present among the cDNA clones present in the disease. Epitopes found using this method are also provided as well as a database incorporating these epitopes. A biochip for detecting the presence of a disease marker in a patient's sera is provided, wherein the biochip has a detector contained within the biochip for detecting disease markers in a patient's sera.

  • Patent number: 6998117
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and compositions for the selective manipulation of gene expression through the preparation of retroviral expression vectors for expressing antisense sequences, such as K-ras oncogene antisense sequences, or sequences encoding a desired product, such as wild type p53 sequences. Preferred retroviral vectors of the present invention incorporate the ?-actin promoter in a reverse orientation with respect to retroviral transcription. Preferred antisense RNA constructs of the present invention employ the use of antisense intron DNA corresponding to distinct intron regions of the gene whose expression is targeted for down-regulation. In an exemplary embodiment, a human lung cancer cell line (NCI-H460a) with a homozygous spontaneous K-ras mutation was transfected with a recombinant plasmid that synthesizes a genomic segment of K-ras in antisense orientation. Translation of the mutated K-ras mRNA was specifically inhibited, whereas expression of H-ras and N-ras was unchanged.
