Abstract:
Methods, systems and kits are provided for detecting, molecules expressing a selected epitope in a sample through use of an epitope detector containing a single chain Fv for the selected epitope or a constrained epitope specific CDR attached to an oligonucleotide.
Abstract:
Prevention of transformation of a normal cell into a tumour cell in an individual at risk of developing a tumour having tumours which have p185 on their surfaces comprises: (a) identifying the individual and (b) administering to the individual an antibody which specifically binds to p185. Also claimed is a method of preventing transformation of a normal cell into a tumour cell that has p185 on its surface in an individual who has had a tumour that has p185 on its cell surfaces removed or who has had a cancer characterised by tumour cells that have p185 on their surfaces enter remission, comprising (a) identifying the individual and (b) administering to the individual an antibody which specifically binds to p185.
Abstract:
A method of constructing biologically active compounds which mimic the biological activity of the biologically active protein block the activity of the biologically active protein is disclosed. A method of identifying specific and discrete portions of pathogen antigens which either serve as epitopes for neutralizing antibodies or which are involved in pathogen binding to host cell receptors is disclosed. A method of constructing biologically active compounds which compete with cellular receptors for binding to either biologically active proteins or pathogen antigens is disclosed.
Abstract:
Novels peptides and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same are disclosed. Conjugated compositions peptides linked to detectable agents and/or cytotoxic agents. are disclosed. Method of detecting tumors that have p185 on tumor cell surfaces are disclosed. Methods of preventing transformation of a normal cell into a tumor cell in an individual at risk of developing a tumor having tumor cells which have p185 on their surfaces are disclosed. Methods of treating an individual who has cancer characterized by tumor cells that have a p185 on their cell surfaces are disclosed.
Abstract:
A substantially purified saccular collagen protein and compositions, including pharmaceutical compositions, that comprise the saccular collagen protein are disclosed. Methods of using the saccular collagen which comprise injecting the saccular collagen into the tissue of an individual are disclosed. Antibodies which bind to the saccular collagen protein, nucleic acid molecules which encode the saccular collagen protein, and oligonucleotides which are identical or complementary to at least a portion of the sequence that encodes the saccular collagen proteins are disclosed. Recombinant expression vector that comprise nucleic acid molecules that encode the saccular collagen protein and host cells, including the cells of transgenic animals, which comprise the recombinant expression vectors are disclosed.
Abstract:
A method of treating certain mammalian tumors with monoclonal antibodies is provided. Monoclonal antibodies specific to distinct epitopes of p185, the translation production of the neu oncongene, are provided, and these are then contacted with the tumor antigen under conditions which allow binding of the antibodies to a degree sufficient to inhibit tumor growth. The monoclonal antibodies act synergistically thus enhancing their anti-tumorigenic effect upon the tumor. An injectable composition for treating certain mammalian tumors with monoclonal antibodies and methods for diagnosing mammalian cancer tumors which express the protein p185 on the surface of the cells are also disclosed.
Abstract:
This invention is in the fields of immunology and autoimmunity. More particularly it concerns pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds which are useful agents for inhibiting the functions of TIP60 and the use of such compounds in the treatment of an individual suffering, for example, from ulcerative colitis and other irritable bowel diseases.
Abstract:
This invention is in the fields of cancer therapy. More particularly it concerns compounds which are useful agents for inhibiting cell proliferative disorders, especially those disorders characterized by over activity and/or inappropriate activity of a EGFR, including EGFR-related cancers, and methods for treating these disorders.
Abstract:
This invention is in the fields of cancer therapy. More particularly it concerns compounds which are useful agents for treating cell proliferative disorders, especially those disorders characterized by over activity and/or inappropriate activity of a EGFR, including EGFR-related cancers, particularly for expanding the efficacy of drugs previously developed for this purpose, and for methods of treatments using the compounds for this purpose.
Abstract:
This application describes pharmaceutical compositions, commercial packages, and methods for inhibiting cell proliferative disorders, especially those disorders, including Her2 related cancers, characterized by overactivity and/or inappropriate activity of a receptor tyrosine kinase, and methods for imaging an HER-2 expressing tumor.
