  • Patent number: 7279554
    Abstract: The invention provides polynucleotides encoding Notch receptor ligands, encoded polypeptides, and antibodies specific to the polypeptides. Also provided are methods and compositions for enhancing or inhibiting angiogenesis as well as modulating immune responses.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 20, 2003
    Date of Patent: October 9, 2007
    Assignee: Chiron Corporation
    Inventors: Vivien Chan, Michael Rohan, Lewis T. Williams
  • Publication number: 20070010469
    Abstract: The present invention provides polynucleotides, as well as polypeptides encoded thereby, that are differentially expressed in cancer cells. These polynucleotides are useful in a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic methods. The present invention further provides methods of reducing growth of cancer cells. These methods are useful for treating cancer.

  • Publication number: 20050063974
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for identification of cancerous cells by detection of expression levels of TTK, as well as diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic methods that take advantage of the differential expression of these genes in mammalian cancer. Such methods can be useful in determining the ability of a subject to respond to a particular therapy, e.g., as the basis of rational therapy. In addition, the invention provides assays for identifying pharmaceuticals that modulate activity of these genes in cancers in which these genes are involved, as well as methods of inhibiting tumor growth by inhibiting activity of TTK.
