  • Gene expression in biological conditions
    Patent number: 7666586
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of determining the presence or absence of a biological condition in animal tissue, wherein the expression of genes in normal tissue and tissue from the biological condition is examined and correlated to standards. The invention further relates to the treatment of the biological condition and an assay for determining the condition. More particularly the invention concerns gene expression in epithelial tissue, such as urianry bladder under both normal and abnormal conditions.

  • Gene expression in biological conditions
    Publication number: 20040058325
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method of determining the presence or absence of a biological condition in humans, in particular of colon cancer, and of determining the stage of a condition in human tissue by determining an expression pattern of a cell sample. Further, the invention relates to a method of determining the presence or absence of a biological condition in human tissue, and of determining the stage of a biological condition in human tissue, and also for reducing biological abnormalities of a cell suffering from the biological condition. A method for producing antibodies against an expression product of a cell from the tissue is also described. The invention also discloses a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of a biological condition comprising at least one antibody, and a vaccine for the prophylaxis or treatment of a biological condition.
