    Abstract: A general method for identifying biological targets for improving currently available therapies is provided. Target genes and their expression products are identified based on their response to therapy as determined through pre- and post-therapy expression profiles. In another aspect, differences in expression profiles between responsive and nonresponsive patients are taken into account to identify potential new targets for the development of novel medications or treatments. The invention also provides methods for comparing therapies to predict which will have the best therapeutic efficacy and/or the least potential deleterious. The methods taught are specifically applied to identify targets for improving treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

    Abstract: A novel lymphocyte receptor protein, its DNA sequence, and its role in the calcium activation pathway is described. The protein, or genetically engineered constructs encoding it, are shown to increase lymphocyte response, and to identify ligands of the protein receptor. Antibodies to the proteins of the invention are generated for diagnostic therapeutics. The protein and DNA can also be used for diagnostic purposes and for identifying agents for modulating the calcium induced activation pathway. A particular advantage of the present invention is that it provides lymphocyte activation of receptor found on all B cells, but only on a subset of T cells. The receptor can thus be targeted to specifically regulate B cell responses without affecting mature T cell activity. Such targeting specificity is always advantageous, particularly where an increase or decrease of antibody production is desired, e.g., during an infection (increase) or to avoid immune complex deposition complications (rheumatoid arthritis, glomerulonephritis, and other auto immune conditions).

    Abstract translation: 描述了一种新型淋巴细胞受体蛋白,其DNA序列及其在钙激活途径中的作用。 显示蛋白质或编码它的遗传工程化构建体可增加淋巴细胞反应,并鉴定蛋白质受体的配体。 生成本发明蛋白质的抗体用于诊断治疗。 蛋白质和DNA也可用于诊断目的,并用于鉴定用于调节钙诱导的激活途径的药剂。 本发明的一个特别优点在于它提供了在所有B细胞上发现的受体的淋巴细胞活化,但是仅提供在T细胞的一个子集上。 因此受体可以被靶向以特异性调节B细胞应答而不影响成熟的T细胞活性。 这种靶向特异性总是有利的,特别是在需要增加或减少抗体产生的情况下,例如在感染(增加)期间或避免免疫复合物沉积并发症(类风湿性关节炎,肾小球性肾炎和其他自身免疫病症)时。
