  • Patent number: 9127054
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to realize an antibody or a fragment thereof specifically recognizing a cofilin 1 protein, and a method for detecting and testing gastrointestinal cancer with high detection performance, which comprises performing immunoassay of the cofilin 1 protein using the antibody or a fragment thereof. An immunoassay of cofilin 1 protein is characterized by measuring cofilin 1 or a fragment thereof in a sample using 2 or more types of anti-cofilin 1 monoclonal antibody or fragments thereof specifically recognizing different peptide regions in the amino acid sequence constituting the cofilin 1 protein.

  • Publication number: 20140363825
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for detecting or examining a cancer selected from colorectal cancer and esophageal cancer with high detection sensitivity and accuracy and with less invasiveness to a subject. Specifically, it relates to a method for examining a cancer comprising measuring in vitro a COTL1 protein in a body fluid sample from a subject and evaluating whether or not the subject suffers from the cancer based on the measured amount of the COTL1 protein. It further relates to a kit for diagnosis of a cancer selected from colorectal cancer and esophageal cancer comprising an antibody or a fragment thereof capable of specifically binding to the protein.
