Publication number: 20040043420Abstract: Peptides which bind a cellular (surface or intracellular) receptor, such as a nuclear receptor, may be identified by screening a combinatorial peptide library presented in the form of cells each of which coexpress one member peptide and the receptor, together with a signal producing system for reporting binding. A “two-hybrid” assay is of particular interest. The screen may be carried out in the presence of a ligand, in particular, an exogenous ligand. If this screening is carried out for a plurality of different receptor conformations, then this library screening will also serve to identify conformation-specific peptides for the receptor, which may then be used in a panel for “fingerprinting” query compounds as to their ability to interact with the receptor in the presence of each of the panel peptides. These fingerprints may be compared to those of reference compounds with known biological activities mediated by that receptor.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2003Publication date: March 4, 2004Inventors: Dana Fowlkes, Thomas R. Barnett, Benjamin Buehrer

Patent number: 5593847Abstract: A method for aiding in the diagnosis of, and monitoring the progression of, breast cancer in a patient by measuring the amount of NCA 50/90 in a blood sample, e.g. serum sample, obtained from the patient. Measurement in a single sample of an amount of NCA 50/90 significantly higher than the mean amount of NCA 50/90 in the normal population is an indication of breast cancer in the patient. The progression of breast cancer can also be monitored by performing a series of specific immunoassays over time to determine changes in the level of NCA 50/90 in blood samples. Increases in blood NCA 50/90 levels over time are indicative of a deteriorating condition whereas decreasing levels of blood NCA 50/90 over time indicate an improving condition.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1993Date of Patent: January 14, 1997Assignee: Bayer CorporationInventors: Thomas R. Barnett, James J. Elting, William J. Allard
