摘要:
A gene is provided which is present in the deletion region of a chromosome common in lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and colorectal cancer and encodes a novel protein, a protein encoded by the gene (PRLTS protein), and a method of discriminating tumor cells. With respect to the human chromosome 8, a detailed gene map was prepared, the chromosome of each of lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and colorectal cancer tissues was analyzed, and a gene encoding a novel protein was cloned to thereby determine the structure thereof. A gene analysis was conducted with the use of a DNA probe derived from the above gene, and consequently mutations in the gene were confirmed in the lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and colorectal cancer tissues.

Methods are provided for assessing mutations of the APC gene in human tissues and body samples. APC mutations are found in familial adenomatous polyposis patients as well as in sporadic colorectal cancer patients. APC is expressed in most normal tissues. APC is a tumor suppressor.
摘要:
A detailed genetic map on human chromosome 11 was prepared. Then, a commonly deleted region on the chromosome in the tumor tissues of patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 was identified. Further, by linkage analysis of a family line with this disease, a genetic cause for this disease was localized. A gene present in the region common to these observations was cloned and the structure of this gene was determined. Because a protein coded by this DNA is homologous with those of transcriptional factors, it is expected that the above-mentioned gene may be a novel tumor suppressor gene. Further, it is also expected that the above-mentioned gene and a protein coded for thereby may be useful in preparation of a remedy for cancer and a diagnostic drug for cancer.
摘要:
The present invention is related to the identification of cloned DNA sequences that reveal individual multiallele loci. The loci are used in the process of the present invention to provide convenient and accurate genetic identification. A large number of clones that recognize VNTR loci have been isolated from a cosmid library and characterized.
摘要:
A human gene termed APC is disclosed. Methods and kits are provided for assessing mutations of the APC gene in human tissues and body samples. APC mutations are found in familial adenomatous polyposis patients as well as in sporadic colorectal cancer patients. APC is expressed in most normal tissues. These results suggest that APC is a tumor suppressor.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of predicting the risk of a patient for developing cutaneous adverse drug reaction to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors such as nevirapine by using HLA-B*3505 allele and/or polymorphisms in the CCHCR1 gene.
摘要:
The present invention provides peptides having an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 192, 195, 197, 209, 225, 226, 228, 230, 240, 241, 243, 244, 249, 253, 254 or 255, as well as peptides having the above-mentioned amino acid sequences in which 1, 2, or several amino acids are substituted, deleted, or added, wherein the peptides possess cytotoxic T cell inducibility. The present invention also provides drugs for treating or preventing a disease associated with the over-expression of MPHOSPH1 and/or DEPDC1, e.g. cancers, containing these peptides as an active ingredient. The peptides of the present invention can also be used as vaccines.

摘要:
Isolated peptides composed of the amino acid sequence of the modified MELK epitope peptide or immunologically active fragments thereof that bind to HLA antigens and have higher cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) inducibility than that of the wild type MELK epitope peptide and thus are suitable for use in the context of cancer immunotherapy or endometriosis immunotherapy, more particularly cancer or endometriosis vaccines are described herein. The present invention further provides peptides that include one, two, or several amino acid insertions, substitutions or additions to the aforementioned peptides or fragments, but yet retain the requisite cytotoxic T cell inducibility. Further provided are nucleic acids encoding any of these aforementioned peptides as well as pharmaceutical substances and compositions including any of the aforementioned peptides or nucleic acids. The peptides, nucleic acids, pharmaceutical substances and compositions of this invention find particular utility in the treatment of cancers, tumors, and endometriosis.
摘要:
The present application provides novel human genes A7322, whose expression is markedly elevated in breast cancer. The present application also provides human genes F3374 whose expression is markedly elevated in breast cancer. These genes and polypeptides encoded thereby can be used, for example, in the diagnosis of breast cancer, and as target molecules for developing drugs against breast cancer. The invention features methods of screening for modulators of the kinase activity of PBK/TOPK. The invention further provides methods of screening for agents to prevent or treat cancer, such as breast cancer.
