摘要:
A chimeric gene directing the synthesis of hybrid recombinant fusion protein in a suitable expression vector has been constructed. The fusion protein possesses the property of selective cytotoxicity against specific virus-infected cells. A CD4(178)-PE40 hybrid fusion protein has been made for selectively killing HIV-infected cells.
摘要:
The invention provides a peptide comprising a human cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL) epitope from the human tumor-associated antigen (TAA) New Gene Expressed in Prostate (NGEP), which can be used in vaccine prevention or therapy of prostate cancer, as well as a nucleic acid encoding the peptide, a vector comprising the nucleic acid, a cell comprising the peptide, nucleic acid, or vector, and compositions thereof.

Immunogenic T-cell receptor gamma Alternate Reading Frame Protein (TARP) polypeptides are disclosed herein. These immunogenic TARP polypeptides include nine consecutive amino acids of the amino acid sequence set forth as SEQ ID NO: 9 and do not comprise amino acids 1-26 or amino acids 38-58 of SEQ ID NO: 1. Several specific, non-limiting examples of these polypeptides are set forth as SEQ ID NOs: 3-7. Nucleic acids encoding these polypeptides, and host cells transfected with these nucleic acids, are also disclosed. Methods of using these polypeptides, and polynucleotides encoding these polypeptides, for the treatment of breast and prostate cancer are also disclosed.

摘要:
Antibodies that specifically bind the extracellular domain of IRTA2 are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, these antibodies do not specifically bind IRTA1, IRTA3, IRTA4, or IRTA5. In one example, the antibodies are humanized antibodies. The antibodies can be conjugated to effector molecules, including detectable labels, radionucleotides, toxins and chemotherapeutic agents. The antibodies that specifically bind IRTA2 are of use to detect B cell malignancies, such as hairy cell leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. These antibodies that specifically bind IRTA2 are also of use to treat B cell malignancies that express IRTA2, such as hairy cell leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
摘要:
A polypeptide is disclosed that is specifically detected in the cells of the prostate, termed Splice Variant-Novel Gene Expressed in Prostate (SV-NGEP). Polynucleotides encoding SV-NGEP are also disclosed, as are vectors including these polynucleotides. Host cells transformed with these polynucleotides are also disclosed. Antibodies and immunoconjugates are disclosed that specifically bind SV-NGEP. Methods are disclosed for using an NGEP polypeptide, an antibody that specifically binds SV-NGEP, or a polynucleotide encoding SV-NGEP. Assays are disclosed for the detection prostate cancer. Pharmaceutical compositions including an SV-NGEP polypeptide, an antibody that specifically binds SV-NGEP, or a polynucleotide encoding SV-NGEP are also disclosed. These pharmaceutical compositions are of use in the treatment of prostate cancer.
摘要:
This invention relates to the discovery of a differentiation antigen termed mesothelin which is associated with mesotheliomas and ovarian cancers. Mesothelin is about 69 kD in its full-length form. The invention includes uses for the amino acid and nucleic acid sequences for mesothelin, recombinant cells expressing it, methods for targeting and/or inhibiting the growth of cells bearing mesothelin, methods for detecting the antigen and its expression level as an indication of the presence of tumor cells, and kits for such detection.

摘要:
The cDNA and amino acid sequences for a cellular apoptosis susceptibility (CAS) protein are used to detect expression and amplification of CAS gene in normal and cancer cells. An antisense CAS gene sequence introduced into living cells inhibits CAS protein activity and thus prevents or inhibits apoptosis in the cells.
