Abstract: Provided is a method for predicting a clinical effect on a subject in a WT1 peptide immunotherapy, said method comprising: a) a step for contacting a sample derived from the subject with WT1 antigen peptide or a variant thereof; and b) a step for detecting the binding of the sample to the WT1 antigen peptide or a variant thereof and thus measuring anti-WT1 antigen peptide IgG antibody titer existing in the sample, characterized in that an increase in the anti-WT1 antigen peptide IgG antibody titer in the subject determines the achievement of a favorable clinical effect. Also provided is a kit for performing the method according to the present invention, said kit containing WT1 antigen peptide or a variant thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for detecting cancer using a protein expressed in various cancers, and a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment or prevention of such cancer using the protein as an indicator. Furthermore, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition containing a cancer antigen peptide derived from the protein. More particularly, the method comprises the step of determining the presence or amount of an eEF2 polypeptide or an eEF2 antibody in a sample obtained from a subject.

Abstract: The present inventors discovered that siRNAs targeting the 17AA site of the WT1 gene not only suppress the expression of the WT1 gene, but also demonstrate remarkable cell growth-suppressing effects and cell death-inducing effects in cancer cell lines.

Abstract: Disclosed is a polynucleotide having at least 15 contiguous bases in the base sequence of SEQ ID NO:26 and including the base sequence of SEQ ID NO:27. Also disclosed is siRNA produced based on the polynucleotide. By means of this, a cancer cell-specific molecular-targeted therapy, which successfully controls the function of WT1, can be realized.
