  • Publication number: 20200160939
    Abstract: Cancer immunology provides promising new avenues for cancer treatment but validation of potential neoantigens to target is costly and expensive. Analysis of MHC binding affinity, antigen processing, similarity to known antigens, predicted expression levels (as mRNA or proteins), self-similarity, and mutant allele frequency, provides screening method to identify and prioritize candidate neoantigens using sequencing data. Methods of the invention thereby save time and money by identifying the priority candidate neoantigens for further experimental validation.

  • Publication number: 20110166028
    Abstract: The invention relates to the identification and use of gene expression profiles with clinical relevance to the treatment of cellular proliferative disorders, especially those mediated by aberrant Notch signaling using a Notch signaling inhibitor. In particular, the invention provides the identities of genes, whose individual or cumulative expression patterns may be useful in various assays. The gene expression profiles, whether embodied in nucleic acid expression, protein expression, or other expression formats, may be used to select subjects afflicted with a Notch mediated cancer who will likely respond to treatment with a gamma-secretase inhibitor or another Notch inhibiting agent. The same markers may be used in the classification of patients being treated with other Notch inhibitors. The methods may further comprise providing diagnostic, prognostic, or predictive information based on the classifying step. The methods may further comprise selecting a treatment based on the classifying step.

  • Publication number: 20100280987
    Abstract: Methods, biomarkers, and expression signatures are disclosed for assessing the regulation status of RAS pathway signaling in a cell sample or subject. More specifically, several aspects of the invention provide a set of genes which can be used as biomarkers and gene signatures for evaluating RAS pathway deregulation status in a sample; classifying a cell sample as having a deregulated or regulated RAS signaling pathway; determining whether an agent modulates the RAS signaling pathway in sample; predicting response of a subject to an agent that modulates the RAS signaling pathway; assigning treatment to a subject; and evaluating the pharmacodynamic effects of cancer therapies designed to regulate RAS pathway signaling.
