A sandwich ELISA assay, using the antibody of the invention as a capture antibody, can quantify the mutant IGF-1/E proteins in samples.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2014Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: NOVARTIS AGInventors: Mara FORNARO, John XU, Yuan GAO, Rainer HILLENBRAND, Francois LEGAY, Daniela STOELLNER

Publication number: 20140242607Abstract: It is intended to find a highly specific epithelial ovarian cancer marker and to provide an antibody capable of specifically recognizing and detecting the marker or a fragment of the antibody. The present invention provides an anti-?1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 5B antibody for diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer, i.e., an antibody for detection of a glycosyltransferase ?1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 5B as an epithelial ovarian cancer marker. The antibody recognizes, as an epitope, a part of a polypeptide of the enzyme consisting of the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2012Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and TechnologyInventors: Maki Sogabe, Tomomi Kubota, Akira Togayachi, Yuzuru Ikehara, Hisashi Narimatsu, Hiromichi Sawaki, Hayao Nakanishi, Toru Nakanishi
