  • Publication number: 20050250137
    Abstract: A diagnostic tool for use in diagnosing diseases, the tool is a detector for detecting a presence of an array of markers being used to determine gene expression changes that are related to cellular immortalization, the presence of the markers being indicative of a specific disease and the markers and treatments found by the tool. A tool for interpreting results of a microarray, wherein the tool is a computer program for analyzing the results of microrarrays. A method of creating an array of markers for diagnosing the presence of disease by microarraying sera obtained from a patient to obtain molecular markers of disease and detecting markers that are present only in the sera of patients with a specific disease thereby detecting molecular markers being used to determine gene expression changes that are related to cellular immortalization and for use in diagnosing disease.

  • Patent number: 6627189
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and compositions for the selective inhibition gene expression through the application of antisense RNA technology. 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. A three-fold growth inhibition occurred in H460a cells when expression of the mutated ras p21 protein was down-regulated by antisense RNA and cells remained viable. The growth of H460a tumors in nu/nu mice was substantially reduced by expressed K-ras antisense RNA.
