Abstract:
A method comprising transforming Schizosaccharomyces pombe with a deletion cassette, constructed by four-round serial PCR, block PCR or total gene synthesis, containing a homologous recombination site is provided for preparing gene-targeted heterozygous deletion Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Also provided are gene-targeted hetero2ygous deletion Schizosaccharomyces pombe mutants prepared by the method, and a library of gene-targeted heterozygous deletion Schizosaccharomyces pombe mutants. Further, the library is useful in constructing a method and a kit for screening a drug's modes of action.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cytokeratin 8/18 complex-specific autoantibody or a fragment comprising an antigen-binding site (paratope) thereof, the use thereof in the diagnosis of breast cancer, a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence of an epitope specifically binding to the autoantibody, a composition for diagnosing breast cancer comprising an agent capable of measuring an expression level of the autoantibody or the fragment comprising an antigen-binding site thereof, a hybridoma cell line producing the autoantibody, and a kit for diagnosing breast cancer comprising the composition of the present invention. Further, the present invention relates to a method for diagnosing breast cancer, comprising the step of detecting the cytokeratin 8/18 complex-specific autoantibody or the fragment comprising the antigen-binding site thereof using the composition of the present invention, and a method for screening a therapeutic agent for breast cancer using the autoantibody.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an autoantibody specifically recognizing the epitope sequence of FASN (fatty acid synthase), more particularly, to the autoantibody or a fragment comprising an antigen-binding site thereof, a diagnostic composition for hepatocellular carcinoma comprising an agent capable of assessing the expression level of the autoantibody, a hybridoma cell line producing the autoantibody, a diagnostic kit for hepatocellular carcinoma comprising the composition, a method for detecting the autoantibody of hepatocellular carcinoma patient using the composition, and a method for screening a therapeutic agent for hepatocellular carcinoma by administering candidate materials for hepatocellular carcinoma treatment to confirm a reduction in the expression level of autoantibody.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an analyzing method of measuring the changes of glycosylation in various glycoproteins which participate in tumorigenesis and metastasis.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to new heterocyclic compounds containing nitrogen atoms or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, a process for the preparation thereof, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same for treatment of cancer. The compounds according to the present invention induce DNA damage due to reactive oxygen species to activate c-abl and p53, induce RhoB to generate apoptosis, and induce cell death by down-regulating Bcl2 involved in cell survival, which is generated by dysregulated signals via the mitochondria pathway, thereby inhibiting tumor cell growth and inducing apoptosis. Accordingly, the composition according to the present invention can be used to treat cancer.
