  • Taxane chemosensitivity prediction test
    Patent number: 8021831
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for determining the chemosensitivity of a cancer cell to a taxane comprising assessing the effect of the taxane on the expression level or activity of one or more cell cycle molecules in a cancer cell. Such a method makes use of an automated analyzer system wherein cell cycle parameters (molecules) such as CDK1 kinase activity, CDK1 expression, CDK2 kinase activity, CDK2 expression, MAD2 expression, Cyclin B1, Cyclin E expression, p21 expression, and CDK6 expression; are assessed. The present invention further provides a method of obtaining a cell cycle profile of a cancer cell that is sensitive to a taxane.
