  • Publication number: 20080050379
    Abstract: Processes for assaying potential antitumor agents based on their modulation of the expression of specified genes, or sets, of suspected cancer cell genes are disclosed, along with methods for diagnosing cancerous, or potentially cancerous, conditions as a result of the expression, or patterns of expression, of such genes, or sets of genes. Also disclosed are methods for determining functionally related genes, or gene sets, as well as methods for treating cancer based on targeting expression products of such genes, or gene sets, and determining genes involved in the cancerous process.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 26, 2007
    Publication date: February 28, 2008
    Inventors: Paul Young, Meena Augustus, Kenneth Carter, Reinhard Ebner, Gregory Endress, Stephen Horrigan, Daniel Soppet, Zoe Weaver
  • Publication number: 20080025981
    Abstract: Cancer-linked gene sequences, and derived amino acid sequences, are disclosed along with methods for assaying for potential antitumor agents based on their modulation of the expression of these cancer-related genes. Also disclosed are antibodies that react with the disclosed polypeptides and methods of using the antibodies to treat cancerous conditions, such as using the antibody to target cancerous cells in vivo for purposes of delivering therapeutic agents thereto. Also described are methods of diagnosing cancer using the gene sequences as well as the polypeptide sequences.

  • Publication number: 20040072192
    Abstract: Cancer-linked gene sequences, and derived amino acid sequences, are disclosed along with processes for assaying potential antitumor agents based on their modulation of the expression of these cancer-linked genes. Also disclosed are antibodies that react with the disclosed polypeptides and methods of diagnosing and treating cancer using the gene sequences. A novel gene and polypeptide are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20020165180
    Abstract: Processes for assaying potential antitumor agents based on their modulation of the expression of specified genes, or sets, of suspected cancer cell genes, especially for breast cancer, are disclosed, along with methods for diagnosing cancerous, or potentially cancerous, conditions as a result of the expression, or patterns of expression, of such genes, or sets of genes. Also disclosed are methods for determining functionally related genes, or gene sets, as well as methods for treating cancer based on targeting expression products of such genes, or gene sets, and determining genes involved in the cancerous process.
