Abstract:
DNAs encoding the human histamine H3 receptor have been cloned and characterized. The recombinant protein is capable of forming biologically active histamine H3 receptor protein. The cDNA's have been expressed in recombinant host cells which produce active recombinant protein. The recombinant protein is also purified from the recombinant host cells. In addition, the recombinant host cells are utilized to establish a method for identifying modulators of the receptor activity, and receptor modulators are identified.

Abstract:
The invention provides methods for the use of gene expression measurements to classify or identify tumors in samples obtained from a subject in a clinical setting, such as in cases of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) samples.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions are provided for the detection of breast cancer based upon the identification of three biomarkers for non-normal breast cells. The biomarkers were identified based upon multiple sampling of reference breast tissue samples from independent cases of breast cancer. Two biomarkers display increased expression in non-normal cells while the third biomarker displays decreased expression in non-normal cells.
Abstract:
This invention relates to the detection of increased expression from the HoxB13 (homeobox B13) gene as indicative of an invasive or metastatic cancer phenotype. The invention provides methods of detecting the level of expression from the HoxB13 gene, optionally in combination with nodal status, as an indicator of the invasive or metastatic phenotype as well as increased cellular migration and/or mobility. The invention also provides for the measurement of expression from the HoxB13 gene to assist in the determination of patient prognosis as well as clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions are provided for the identification of expression signatures in ER+ breast cancer cases, where the signatures correlate with responsiveness, or lack thereof, to tamoxifen treatment. The signature profiles are identified based upon sampling of reference breast tissue samples from independent cases of breast cancer and provide a reliable set of molecular criteria for predicting the efficacy of treating a subject with ER+ breast cancer with tamoxifen. Additional methods and compositions are provided for predicting tamoxifen responsiveness in cases of ER+ breast cancer by use of three biomarkers. Two biomarkers display increased expression correlated with tamoxifen response while the third biomarker displays decreased expression correlated with tamoxifen response.
Abstract:
cDNA molecules coding for GAD65 polypeptide. The invention provides cDNA molecules comprising a part of the cDNA sequence of GAD65 which encode at least one epitope for autoantibodies to GAD65. The invention also provides cloning vehicles capable of replication and expression comprising cDNA molecules coding for GAD65. The invention further provides for hosts transformed with a vehicle having a cDNA molecule coding for GAD65. In another embodiment, the invention provides for the detection of autoantibodies to GAD65 using the GAD65 polypeptides coded for by the cDNA molecules of the invention.

The cDNA's have been expressed in recombinant host cells that produce active recombinant protein. The recombinant protein is also purified from the recombinant host cells. In addition, the recombinant host cells are utilized to establish a method for identifying modulators of the receptor activity, and receptor modulators are identified.
Abstract:
This invention provides gene sequence identities and methods for the determination of cellular gene expression and the comparison of expression levels between different gene sequences and between different cells. The gene sequences may be used as reference, normalization, or “housekeeping” gene sequences, the expression of which remains consistent in individual cells, even under different conditions, as well as among cells from different samples and origins.
