  • Publication number: 20050003405
    Abstract: A method of determining whether a subject is suffering from or at risk for developing cancer. The method involves providing a sample from a subject, and determining the level of HM74, LGR6, GPR88, or GPR49 gene expression or protein activity in the sample. The level of HM74, LGR6, GPR88, or GPR49 gene expression or protein activity in the sample, if higher than that in a sample from a normal subject, indicates that the subject is suffering from or at risk for developing cancer. Also disclosed are a method of identifying a compound for treating cancer, a method of treating cancer, and a pharmaceutical composition or a packaged product for treating cancer.

  • Patent number: 5070010
    Abstract: The anti-viral transactivating activity of a test substance is determined by (a) putting both the expression of the Secreted Alkaline Phosphatase gene and the viral transactivator gene under the control of a viral promoter responsive to the action of the transactivator, (b) transfecting cultured mammalian cells with plasmids which contain the gene constructs of (a) and cause cellular production of the transactivating factor and Secreted Alkaline Phosphatase (c) adding the substance to be tested, and (d) determining the amount of Secreted Alkaline Phosphatase produced, whereby inhibition of Secreted Alkaline Phosphatase production correlates with anti-viral transactivating activity.
