摘要:
The present invention is related to a method for selecting a treatment for a human patient suffering from cancer, comprising: measuring by mass spectrometry the amount of an IRS1 fragment peptide in a protein digest prepared from a sample of formalin fixed tumor tissue from the patient and, optionally, calculating the level of IRS1 protein in said sample; and selecting a treatment based on the presence, absence, or amount of said IRS1 fragment peptide or the level of IRS1 protein in said sample, wherein the IRS1 fragment peptide is SEQ ID NO:70 or SEQ ID NO:76.

摘要:
The invention provides stem cell derived beta-pancreatic cells and animal models of T2D in which cells have been grafted. The stem cells bear a mutated form of SLC30A8 conferring protection or susceptibility to T2D. The cells and animal models can be used for drug screening as well as to provide insights into the mechanism of T2D and potentially new therapeutic and diagnostic targets.

The present invention provides methods of treating prediabetes, hyperglycemia, type 2 diabetes, AMIS syndrome, and obesity in a subject by administering to the patient HISS. The present invention also provides methods of diagnosing AMIS syndrome in a patient. Additionally, the present invention provides a method of shifting nutrient storage in meat-producing livestock to muscle rather than fat.

The application relates to an electrode for use in the electrochemical detection of target species, and in particular for the detection of insulin. The application enables insulin to be detected with high selectivity and with a detection limit in the picomolar range or lower. The electrodes of the invention can easily be reused and are ideally suited for use in point-of-care diagnostics. In a preferred embodiment, the electrode comprises an antibody modified, polyethylene glycol (PEG) monolayer assembled on a gold surface. In a second embodiment, the electrode comprises a chemisorbed zwitterionic carboxybetaine polymer obtained by photopolymerisation of carboxybetaine methacrylate (CBMA). This allows the use of non Faradaic analysis to determine the insulin concentration even in undiluted blood serum.
摘要:
Methods are described for measuring the amount of C peptide in a sample. More specifically, mass spectrometric methods are described for detecting and quantifying C peptide in a sample utilizing on-line extraction methods coupled with tandem mass spectrometric or high resolution/high accuracy mass spectrometric techniques. The present invention provides methods for detecting the presence or amount of C peptide in a sample by mass spectrometry.
