摘要:
A monoclonal antibody, which recognizes at least two amino acids among amino acids located at position 69, position 79, position 81 and position 102 of human midkine, has been found to have excellent reactivity with and excellent neutralizing activity against human midkine. Moreover, the activity of suppressing the proliferation of tumor has been observed in the antibody having excellent neutralizing activity. The use of the antibody of the present invention makes it possible to treat cancer effectively and to detect or purify midkine efficiently.

摘要:
To develop a simple, low-cost and highly reliable testing method for mesothelioma, and a kit used for said testing method. The present invention provides a testing method for mesothelioma comprising a step in which the concentration of human periostin protein is measured in at least one type of sample from among samples of the blood or pleural fluid of a subject. The step in which the concentration of human periostin protein is measured may use an antibody directed against human periostin protein. The present invention further provides a kit for diagnosing mesothelioma, said kit including the antibody directed against human periostin protein. In one kit for diagnosing mesothelioma, the diagnosis of mesothelioma determines if a subject that may have mesothelioma has mesothelioma or is healthy. In another kit for diagnosing mesothelioma, the diagnosis of mesothelioma determines if a subject that may have mesothelioma has mesothelioma or has a respiratory illness other than mesothelioma.

摘要:
An object is to provide an antibody capable of specifically recognizing a human NRG1 protein isoform, and suppressing signal transduction in which the isoform is involved. An antibody capable of binding to a region at positions 221 to 234 of a human NRG1-α protein or an antibody capable of binding to a region at positions 213 to 239 of a human NRG1-β1 protein was successfully obtained. Further, it was also found that these antibodies had an activity of suppressing cleavage of the NRG1 protein, an activityofsuppressing phosphorylation of an ErbB3 protein in a cancer cell, and an activity of suppressing in vivo tumor proliferation.
