  • Publication number: 20150125456
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for diagnosing and detecting diseases associated with colon. The present invention provides one or more proteins or fragments thereof, peptides or nucleic acid molecules differentially expressed in colon diseases (CCAT) and antibodies binds to CCAT. The present invention provides that CCAT is used as targets for screening agents that modulates the CCAT activities. Further the present invention provides methods for treating diseases associated with colon.

  • Publication number: 20150037820
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for assessing (e.g., diagnosing), treating, and preventing diseases, especially cancer, and particular lung cancer, using lung cancer markers (LCM). Individual LCM and panels comprising multiple LCM are provided for these and other uses. Methods and compositions are also provided for determining or predicting the effectiveness of a treatment or for selecting a treatment using LCM. Methods and compositions are further provided for modulating cell function using LCM. Also provided are compositions that modulate LCM (e.g., antagonists or agonists), such as antibodies, proteins, small molecule compounds, and nucleic acid agents (e.g., RNAi and antisense agents), as well as pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Further provided are methods of screening for agents that modulate LCM, and agents identified by these screening methods.

  • Publication number: 20140314770
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for diagnosing and detecting diseases associated with kidney. The present invention provides one or more proteins or fragments thereof, peptides or nucleic acid molecules differentially expressed in kidney diseases (KCAT) and antibodies binds to KCATs. The present invention provides that KCATs are used as targets for screening agents that modulates the KCAT activities. Further the present invention provides methods for treating diseases associated with kidney.
