摘要:
The invention relates to the use of a multiplicity of polynucleotide probe sets, the multiplicity of polynucleotide probe sets consisting in a combination of pools of polynucleotide probe sets, each polynucleotide probe set containing at least one polynucleotide probe chosen among a library of nucleic acid sequences, the polynucleotide probes involved in the combination of pools of polynucleotide probe sets of the multiplicity of polynucleotide probe sets being such that each polynucleotide probe specifically hybridizes with one gene, and/or at least one of its variants when present, for determining the variation of expression at least 12 genes, and their variants when present, in order to diagnose the benign or malignant state of a breast tumor.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for determining the susceptibility of a patient tumor cell to a cancer treatment, which method comprises the detection or measure of CRT, KDEL receptor and/or ERp57 on the surface of a tumor cell.
摘要:
The present invention concerns an in vitro method for diagnosing a myeloid tumour or a lymphoid tumour in a subject, which comprises the step of analyzing a biological sample from said subject by (i) detecting the presence of a mutation in the Ten Eleven Translocation protein family member 2 gene (TET2) coding for the polypeptide having the sequence SEQ ID NO:2, and/or (ii) analyzing the expression of the TET2 gene; wherein the detection of such a TET2 mutation, of the absence of expression of TET2 or of the expression of a truncated TET2 is indicative of a subject developing or predisposed to develop a myeloid tumour or a lymphoid tumour.

摘要:
The present invention concerns methods for assessing the sensibility of a subject to an anticancer treatment, for screening compounds which are useful for treating a cancer and for determining the likelihood of a metastatic relapse in a subject. The methods are based on the finding that a non-functional P2X7-elicited NALP3 inflammasome pathway in a subject is indicative of a resistance to treatment. The invention further concerns methods for treating a cancer and for restoring the sensitivity of the subject to a cancer treatment.
摘要:
Identifying subdominant/cryptic epitopes (I) that are presented by a HLA (human leukocyte antigen) Class I molecule, is new. Identifying subdominant/cryptic epitopes (I) that are presented by a HLA (human leukocyte antigen) Class I molecule comprising selecting at least one peptide (II) of 8-11 amino acids (aa), potentially representing an epitope for Class I presentation, from a protein against which a cytotoxic T cell (CTL) response is to be raised. (II) corresponds to a non-immunogenic peptide with low affinity for Class I molecules. Variants (IIa) of (II) are prepared in which the N-terminal aa is replaced by Tyr and their immunogenicity detected by identifying those that generate a CTL response against target cells expressing the parent protein. Peptide sequences from which active (IIa) are derived are then identified. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) immunogenic peptide epitopes (IIa) derived from (I) identified this way; and (2) nucleic acid (III) that encodes chimeric polypeptides (IV) containing one or more, same or different, copies of (IIa).
摘要:
The invention relates to the use of inhibitors of the expression or the activity of scinderin and/or of ephrin-A1 inhibitors for increasing the susceptibility of tumor cells to CTL killing. Such inhibitors may be for instance interfering RNAs targeting the scinderin gene and/or interfering RNAs targeting the ephrin-A1 gene.

Described is the use of a mutation of at least one amino acid in the immunosuppressive domain of a HIV or SIV accessory protein, for modulating the immunosuppressive property of the protein.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a polypeptide having a sequence of 7 to 20 amino acid residues, which is capable of modulating the immunosuppressive properties of a viral protein or a fragment thereof, against the host in which it is expressed (immunosuppression-modulatory sequence) when it substitutes the homologous sequence of the viral protein or fragment, the polypeptide including the minimum following consensus amino acid sequence: X1Y9Y10Y11CY12X2 wherein, X1 and X2 are selected to impact on the immunosuppressive properties, and Y9 to Y12 represent variable amino acid residues.
