摘要:
In order to more accurately analyze a change in the complicated gene copy number in malignant lymphoma and identify a site suffering from an important genomic abnormality in greater detail to thereby employing the results in diagnosing a disease type or estimating the prognosis, genome-wide array CGH is carried out and thus human chromosome 1 p36.23 to p36.32, human chromosome 1 q42.2 t q43, human chromosome 2 p11.2, human chromosome 2 q13, human chromosome 17 p11.2 to p13.3 and human chromosome 19 p13.2 to p13.3 are identified.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a liposome composition which is able to allow the MHC class I and class II molecules of antigen-presenting cells to efficiently present an antigen substance. The present invention provides a liposome composition, which comprises an oligosaccharide-coated liposome and an antigen substance and is used to cause the MHC class I and class II molecules of an antigen-presenting cell to present an antigen peptide.

In order to more accurately analyze a change in the complicated gene copy number in malignant lymphoma and identify a region affected by an important genomic aberration in greater detail so that the results can be used in diagnosing the type of disease and performing prognosis, genome-wide array CGH is carried out and thus human chromosome 1 36.23 to p36.32, human chromosome 1 q42.2 to q43, human chromosome 2 p11.2, human chromosome 2 q13, human chromosome 17 p11.2 to p13.3, and human chromosome 19 p13.2 to p13.3 are identified.

[PROBLEMS] To provide a method of screening, and a test agent, capable of detecting cancer patients and patients with a high risk of cancer at high percentage. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A remarkable difference in the distribution of sugar chain sulfating enzyme GlcNAc-6-sulfotransferase isozymes has been found between noncancerous tissues and cancer/adenoma tissues. By the use of the same, it has been clarified that cancer and adenoma (excluding colon cancer and colon adenoma) can be specifically detected through detection of a given range of GlcNAc-6-sulfated sugar chains from patient tissues or fecal specimens. Cancer and adenoma screening can be carried out by the use of an antibody capable of reacting with GlcNAc-6-sufated sugar chains specifically formed by enzymes occurring in cancer and adenoma tissues.
摘要:
A peptide comprising the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1; a peptide comprising the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:2; or a mutant peptide comprising an amino acid sequence derived from an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 or 2 by addition, deletion or substitution of one or more amino acids and being capable of forming a complex with an HLA-A2402 molecule that can be recognized by HLA-A2402-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes or being capable of inducing the same. Such a peptide is useful as a cancer vaccine for epithelial cancer patients having HLA-A2402.

It is intended to provide a method of assessing prognoses of CD5+DLBCL patients and CD5-DLBCL patients. By examining chromosomal DNAs of patients suffering from lymphoma, (1) a CD5+DLBCL patient showing an amplification in the 13q21.1-l31.3 region is judged as having a poor prognosis; (2) a CD5+DLBCL patient showing a deletion in the 1p36.21-p36.13 region is judged as having a poor prognosis; and (3) a CD5-DLBCL patient showing an amplification in the 5p15.33-p14.2 region is judged as having a good diagnosis.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of confirming the gene expression, useful in the decision of a five year survival rate of a patient with lung cancer and the use of a DNA probe kit in the method. A method useful in the decision of a survival rate of a patient with non-small cell lung cancer comprising confirming the expression strength of at least one gene selected from the group consisting of in lung cancer tissues isolated from the patient.
