  • MAGE-11 AS A MARKER FOR ENDOMETRIAL RECEPTIVITY TO EMBRYO TRANSPLANTATION AND A MARKER AND THERAPEUTIC TARGET IN CASTRATION-RECURRENT PROSTATE CANCER
    Publication number: 20100150930
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for determining endometrial receptivity to embryo implantation and for detecting and treating castration-recurrent prostate cancer are provided. The methods comprise measuring the level of melanoma antigen gene protein-11 (MAGE-11, also referred to as MAGE-Al 1) in an endometrial or prostate tissue sample. The level of MAGE-11 protein or mRNA can be correlated to endometrial receptivity to embryo implantation in a female human or nonhuman primate, or to the presence of castration-recurrent prostate cancer in a male patient in need thereof. Methods are described whereby MAGE-11 may serve as a target for vaccine development in the treatment of castration-recurrent prostate cancer. Methods for monitoring endometrial maturation, for diagnosing infertility, and for in vitro fertilization in a female human or nonhuman primate are also provided.
