  • Breast, gastric and prostate cancer associated antigens and uses therefor
    Patent number: 7879981
    Abstract: Cancer associated antigens have been identified by autologous antibody screening of libraries of nucleic acids expressed in breast, gastric and prostate cancer cells using antisera from cancer patients. The invention relates to nucleic acids and encoded polypeptides which are cancer associated antigens expressed in patients afflicted with cancer. The invention provides, inter alia, isolated nucleic acid molecules, expression vectors containing those molecules and host cells transfected with those molecules. The invention also provides isolated proteins and peptides, antibodies to those proteins and peptides and cytotoxic T lymphocytes which recognize the proteins and peptides. Fragments of the foregoing including functional fragments and variants also are provided. Kits containing the foregoing molecules additionally are provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 20, 2008
    Date of Patent: February 1, 2011
    Assignee: Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research Ltd.
