PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide diabetes-related biomarkers and methods of use thereof.SOLUTION: The invention describes biomarkers which can be used to predict the likelihood that an individual will develop diabetes. The biomarkers can also be used to screen large groups in order to identify individuals at risk of developing diabetes. The instant invention relates to use of biomarkers for evaluating the risk that an individual will become diabetic, or for identifying members of a population at risk of developing diabetes, and methods of calculating such risks, advising individuals of such risks, providing diagnostic test systems for calculating such risks, and various other embodiments as described herein.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a testing method capable of being used in order to diagnose the cancer of an ovary in an initial stage or an advanced stage. SOLUTION: There are disclosed a method for diagnosing the cancer or assisting the diagnosis of the cancer. The method is based on the identification of a biomarker especially fitted to discrimination between a cancerous subject and a healthy subject. The biomarker is identified using a novel original screening method. The identified biomarker can be also used in the prognosis and monitoring of the cancer. This invention includes the use of leptin, prolactin, OPN and IGF-II for the diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of the cancer of the ovary. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
摘要:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an antibody specifically binding to insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR), preferably human IGF-IR, and an antigen-binding site thereof. SOLUTION: The human anti-IGF-IR antibody includes chimeric, bispecific, derivatized, single chain antibodies or portions of fusion proteins. The isolated heavy and light chain immunoglobulin molecules derived from the anti-IGF-IR antibodies and nucleic acid molecules encoding such molecules are also provided. Further, the method of making the anti-IGF-IR antibody, the pharmaceutical composition comprising these antibodies and the method of using the antibody and the composition thereof for diagnosis and treatment are provided. The gene therapy method uses nucleic acid molecules encoding the heavy and/or light chain immunoglobulin molecules that comprise the human anti-IGF-IR antibodies. The nonhuman transgenic animal expresses the nucleic acid. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
