  • Publication number: 20020142957
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for the therapy and diagnosis of cancer, such as colon cancer, are disclosed. Compositions may comprise one or more colon tumor proteins, immunogenic portions thereof, or polynucleotides that encode such portions. Alternatively, a therapeutic composition may comprise an antigen presenting cell that expresses a colon tumor protein, or a T cell that is specific for cells expressing such a protein. Such compositions may be used, for example, for the prevention and treatment of diseases such as colon cancer. Diagnostic methods based on detecting a colon tumor protein, or mRNA encoding such a protein, in a sample are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20020137911
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for the therapy and diagnosis of cancer, such as pancreatic cancer, are disclosed. Compositions may comprise one or more pancreatic tumor proteins, immunogenic portions thereof, or polynucleotides that encode such portions. Alternatively, a therapeutic composition may comprise an antigen presenting cell that expresses a pancreatic tumor protein, or a T cell that is specific for cells expressing such a protein. Such compositions may be used, for example, for the prevention and treatment of diseases such as pancreatic cancer. Diagnostic methods based on detecting a pancreatic tumor protein, or mRNA encoding such a protein, in a sample are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20020048759
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for the therapy and diagnosis of cancer, such as ovarian or endometrial cancer, are disclosed. Compositions may comprise one or more ovarian carcinoma proteins, immunogenic portions thereof, or polynucleotides that encode such portions. Alternatively, a therapeutic composition may comprise an antigen presenting cell that expresses such an antigen, or a T cell that is specific for cells expressing such an antigen. Such compositions may be used, for example, for the prevention and treatment of diseases such as ovarian and endometrial cancer. Diagnostic methods based on detecting an ovarian carcinoma protein, or mRNA encoding such an antigen, in a sample are also provided.
