摘要:
A highly sensitive and specific monoclonal-immuno-radiometric assay (M-IRMA) for hCG, using monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) directed against a 37-amino acid synthetic polypeptide analogous to the carboxyl terminus (CTP) of beta-hCG. Accordingly, in one embodiment, a method is described for the determination of human chorionic gonadotrThe present invention was made utilizing funds of the United States Government. The U.S. government is therefore granted a royalty-free, non-exclusive, world wide, paid-up license in this invention.
摘要:
The invention features a method for diagnosing a malignant neoplasm in a mammal by contacting a bodily fluid from the mammal with an antibody which binds to an human aspartyl (asparaginyl) beta-hydroxylase (HAAH) polypeptide and methods of treating malignant neoplasms by inhibiting HAAH.

摘要:
The invention features a method of inhibiting tumor growth and/or tumor invasiveness in a mammal by administering to a mammal a compound (e.g., an antagonistic antibody) which inhibits expression or enzymatic activity of human aspartyl (asparaginyl) beta-hydroxylase (HAAH). The invention also features a method for diagnosing the growth of a malignant neoplasm (e.g., pancreatic cancer) in a mammal by contacting a tissue or bodily fluid from the mammal with an antibody which binds to a HAAH polypeptide under conditions sufficient to form an antigen-antibody complex and/or detecting the antigen-antibody complex.
摘要:
Antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, to aspartyl (asparaginyl) β-hydroxylase are provided. The anti-aspartyl (asparaginyl) β-hydroxylase antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, can modulate activity of aspartyl (asparaginyl) β-hydroxylase.
摘要:
The invention features a method for diagnosing and inhibiting growth of a malignant neoplasm in a mammal by contacting a cell or a bodily fluid of the mammal with an antibody which binds to an human aspartyl (asparaginyl) beta-hydroxylase (HAAH) polypeptide. Methods of immunization to generate an HAAH-specific immune response are also within the invention.
摘要:
The invention features a non-transgenic model of Alzheimer's Disease, method for inducing prolonged in vivo gene expression in a mammal, and methods of inhibiting Alzheimer's Disease-associated neuronal cell death.
摘要:
The invention features a purified nucleic acid that encodes a member of the hepadnavirus family of cellular receptors. The receptor is a 170 kD cell surface glycoprotein, and is referred to as the p170 receptor. The pre-S domain of the duck hepatitis B virus envelope protein binds the p170 receptor at a major neutralizing epitope, within which are two basic amino acids required for virion-receptor interaction.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to recombinant hosts expressing novel proteins associated with Alzheimer's Disease, neuroectodermal tumors, malignant astrocytomas, and glioblastomas. This invention is specifically directed to the recombinant hosts and vectors which contain the genes coding for the neuronal thread proteins. This invention is also directed to substantially pure neural thread protein, immunodiagnostic and molecular diagnostic methods to detect the presence of neural thread proteins, and the use of nucleic acid sequences which code for neural thread proteins in gene therapy.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to antibodies, and fragments thereof, which specifically bind the AF-20 and the XF-8 epitopes of adenocarcinoma cell antigen(s).
