摘要:
Methods for detecting urogenital conditions or urogenital status in a subject are described comprising measuring urogenital markers or polynucleotides encoding the markers in a sample from the subject. The invention also provides localization or imaging methods for urogenital conditions, and kits for carrying out the methods of the invention. The invention also contemplates therapeutic applications for urogenital conditions employing urogenital markers, polynucleotides encoding the markers, and/or binding agents for the markers.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a monoclonal antibody which is effective for diagnosing IgA nephropathy and specifically recognizes and binds to a hinge region of a polypeptide encoded by a heavy chain gene of immunoglobulin A1 that comprises a serine/threonine-linked sugar chain to which galactose is not bound. According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a monoclonal antibody or an antibody fragment thereof that specifically recognizes and binds to a hinge region of a polypeptide encoded by a heavy chain gene of immunoglobulin A1 that comprises a serine/threonine-linked sugar chain to which galactose is not bound, to provide a diagnostic agent using the antibody or the antibody fragment thereof, and to provide a therapeutic agent comprising the antibody or the antibody fragment thereof as an active ingredient.
摘要:
Methods and devices for diagnosing, monitoring, or determining kidney transplant rejection or an associated disorder in a mammal are described. In particular, methods and devices for diagnosing, monitoring, or determining kidney transplant rejection or an associated disorder using measured concentrations of a combination of three or more analytes in a test sample taken from the mammal are described.

摘要:
The invention provides a human APEH which is associated with the cardiovascular diseases, cancer, inflammation, hematological diseases, neurological diseases and urological diseases. The invention also provides assays for the identification of compounds useful in the treatment or prevention of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, inflammation, hematological diseases, neurological diseases and urological diseases. The invention also features compounds which bind to and/or activate or inhibit the activity of APEH as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds.
摘要:
The present invention relates to bladder and lower urinary tract syndromes, particularly, irrative symptoms, and to a method of treating same using α1d-adrenergic receptor (α1dAR) antagonists. The invention further relates to a method of screening compounds for their ability to serve as α1dAR selective antagonists.
摘要:
Nuclear matrix proteins (NMPs) which are characterized by a defined expression in bladder tissue are provided. These NMPs are useful markers in diagnosing and monitoring the stage of malignancy, and treating cell proliferative disorders of the bladder. Also provided are substantially purified polypeptides and polypeptide sequences encoding the NMPs of the invention.
