    摘要: Methods of selecting a treatment for a patient with multiple myeloma are provided. Prior to commencing a treatment regime, bone marrow aspirates are isolated from a patient and incubated with one or more candidate therapeutics. The methods identify the therapy or combination of therapies most likely to yield the best results for a particular individual. In addition to improving clinical outcome, such theranostic evaluations dramatically reduce health care costs, by avoiding ineffective therapies. Screening assays for identifying treatments for multiple myeloma also are provided.

    摘要: This invention relates, e.g., to a set of calibrants for determining the amount in a sample of an analyte (e.g., a protein, such as a protein that has been post-translationally modified), comprising a plurality of calibrants, which contain a range of amounts (e.g., defined amounts and/or serial dilutions) of the analyte, spanning the expected amount of the analyte in the sample. In each of the calibrants, a defined amount of the analyte is present in the same suitable, biological diluent (e.g., a cell or tissue lysate, or a bodily fluid). In one embodiment of the invention, the diluent reflects the same or a similar biological milieu (proteins, lipids, serum proteins, serum matrix proteins, etc.) as that in the sample in which the analyte to be measured is present. In embodiments of the invention, a single calibrant (e.g., a cell lysate) may comprise as many as hundreds of analytes, and can be used for the quantification of those hundreds of analytes in a sample. Methods are described for performing an assay (e.g. RPMA analysis), in which the calibrants of a set of calibrants of the invention are immobilized on each of the surfaces to which samples to be analyzed are immobilized, thereby providing an internal calibration curve for quantifying an RPMA assay.

    摘要: A theranostics technique for describing signaling pathway activity within a cellular or tissue sample may include analyzing a cellular sample to obtain sample quantitative values for a series of target protein modification levels reflected in a set of a plurality of protein biomarkers in the sample. The sample quantitative values may be compared to reference quantitative values for the same series of protein modification levels. The reference quantitative values may be statistically processed from a plurality of comparable samples. The sample quantitative values may be displayed in relation to the reference quantitative values in a way that may suggest a specific course of treatment.

    摘要: A novel gene, PB39, that is up-regulated, or over-expressed, in prostate cancer has been identified. The gene has been identified by means of its cDNA obtained by reverse transcription of the corresponding mRNA. Microdissection of prostate glands that had been surgically removed from prostate cancer patients revealed a novel up-regulated transcript in an aggressive prostate carcinoma. Differential analysis for the presence of this gene was carried out from the same glands by comparing transcription in microdissected normal prostatic epithelium versus that in microdissected invasive tumor. The transcript was over-expressed in 5 of 10 prostate carcinomas examined. A variant transcript was over-expressed in 4 of 4 prostate carcinomas, and was found in 1 of 4 normal samples. The invention provides a purified and isolated nucleic acid that includes the sequence of PB39 or its complement, the sequence of a variant of PB39 or its complement, and a primer or probe, that includes a sequence that is a fragment of these sequences. Additionally, the polypeptide encoded by these genes, an antibody to the polypeptide, and methods of detection of PB39 or its gene product are provided.

    摘要: A discovery underlying this invention is the concordance between particular cellular signaling mechanisms and cancer cell growth and metastasis. It has now been discovered that certain compounds inhibit the signal transduction required for the maintenance and driving of the malignant process. These compounds are also effective for the in vivo treatment of solid tumors and related disease states. This invention provides a method for the use of these compounds to inhibit the invasion and metastasis of malignant solid tumors in mammals. This invention further provides a method for using related compounds to treat diseases involving aberrant signal transduction pathways. Some of the compounds used in the methods of the present invention are novel and constitute another aspect of this invention.
