Abstract:
Methods and kits for classifying patients having diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) based upon expression of a plurality of genes are disclosed. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR can be used to measure expression values. Correlating expression values of the plurality of genes in a tumor sample from the patient to reference expression values obtained from DLBCL patients can stratify patients in the classification groups. The methods and kits can be used to predict overall patient survival.

Abstract:
The invention relates to methods and mutation linkers to modify DNA, to methods for producing libraries containing a multiplicity of modified DNA, and to methods for using such libraries for screening modified proteins encoded by such DNA. The DNA targeted for modification typically encodes a polypeptide such as an enzyme. The libraries are used to determine the effect of such modification or the interaction of the modified polypeptides with a target. In preferred embodiments, the invention relates to methods for making and using libraries containing DNA encoding modified antibiotic hydrolases to screen antibiotics against one or more of the modified antibiotic hydrolases produced by such libraries. Susceptibility or lack of susceptibility of an antibiotic to neutralization provides an indication of whether wild-type antibiotic hydrolases are likely to mutate to confer resistance to the antibiotic.
Abstract:
Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) zymogens and variants are prepared, including a fibrinolytically active variant of t-PA that has an amino acid alteration at a site within the protease domain of t-PA as compared with the corresponding wild-type t-PA, which alteration renders the variant zymogenic in the presence of plasmin-degraded fibrinogen, and/or fibrin (or plasma clot) specific, as compared to the corresponding wild-type t-PA. DNA sequences can be prepared that encode the zymogens and variants, as well as expression vectors incorporating the DNA sequences, and host cells transformed with the expression vectors. The zymogens and variants may be used in a pharmaceutical preparation to treat a vascular disease or condition or to prevent fibrin deposition or adhesion formation or reformation in mammals.
