    摘要: The present invention provides a cancer/testis antigen which is applicable to diagnosis and immunotherapy for cancer, that is to say, to provide a cancer/testis antigen which is not expressed in normal tissues other than the testis, which is expressed in various cancers over a broad range and which induces immune response in a host, and to provide a caner/testis gene encoding the cancer/testis antigen, etc. By using the yeast Two-hybrid System, the present inventors screened a protein which specifically binds to GCF, a previously reported transcription factor, cloned a gene of a protein specifically binding to the GCF, confirmed that the D40 protein as a resulting gene product is a cancer/testis antigen which is expressed substantially only in the testis in normal human tissues whereas in cancers it is expressed in human primary cancers over a broad range derived from various tissues and cells, and found that the D40 shows high affinity with HLA and has a plurality of sequences comprising 9 or 10 amino acid residues and binding to HLA.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a novel Afx response element comprising the nucleotide sequence AACATGTT, said nucleotide sequence having a DNA binding site for the human fork head transkription factor Afx. The invention also relates to the use of the Afx response element in the screening for genes as diabetes drug targets and in the bioinformatic analysis of the human genome, said genes in turn being useful in other screening methods for compounds modifying the insulin receptor signaling pathway. A further aspect of the invention is a vector construct comprising the novel nucleotide sequence, a host cell transformed with said vector construct as well as the fusion protein expressed by said host cell.
