摘要:
Methods, biomarkers, and expression signatures are disclosed for assessing the regulation status of RAS pathway signaling in a cell sample or subject. More specifically, several aspects of the invention provide a set of genes which can be used as biomarkers and gene signatures for evaluating RAS pathway deregulation status in a sample; classifying a cell sample as having a deregulated or regulated RAS signaling pathway; determining whether an agent modulates the RAS signaling pathway in sample; predicting response of a subject to an agent that modulates the RAS signaling pathway; assigning treatment to a subject; and evaluating the pharmacodynamic effects of cancer therapies designed to regulate RAS pathway signaling.
摘要:
The present invention relates to mammalian antibodies, designated 12B1 and antigen-binding portions thereof that specifically bind to insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR), preferably human IGF-IR. Also included are chimeric, bispecific, derivatized, single chain antibodies derived from the antibodies disclosed herein. Nucleic acid molecules encoding the mammalian antibodies as well as methods of use thereof are also disclosed. Also included are pharmaceutical compositions comprising these antibodies and methods of using the antibodies and compositions thereof for treatment and diagnosis of pathological hyperproliferative oncogenic disorders associated with expression of IGf-1R.
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel antibodies capable of binding specifically to the human insulin-like growth factor I receptor IGF-IR and/or capable of specifically inhibiting the tyrosine kinase activity of said IGF-IR receptor, especially monoclonal antibodies of murine, chimeric and humanized origin, as well as the amino acid and nucleic acid sequences coding for these antibodies. The invention likewise comprises the use of these antibodies as a medicament for the prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatment of cancers overexpressing IGF-IR or any pathology connected with the overexpression of said receptor as well as in processes or kits for diagnosis of illnesses connected with the overexpression of the IGF-IR receptor. The invention finally comprises products and/or compositions comprising such antibodies in combination with anti-EGFR antibodies and/or compounds and/or anti-cancer agents or agents conjugated with toxins and their use for the prevention and/or the treatment of certain cancers.
摘要:
An efficient means of inducing an immune response against human immunodeficiency virus (“HIV”) utilizing specific prime-boost regimes is disclosed. The specific prime-boost regimes employ a heterologous prime-boost protocol wherein recombinant adenoviral and poxvirus vectors comprising exogenous genetic material encoding a common HIV antigen are administered in that order. Vaccines administered into living vertebrate tissue in accordance with the disclosed regimes, preferably a mammalian host such as a human or a non-human mammal of commercial or domestic veterinary importance, express the HIV-1 antigen (e.g., Gag), inducing a cellular immune response which specifically recognizes HIV-1. It is believed that the disclosed prime/boost regime will offer a prophylactic advantage to previously uninfected individuals and/or provide a therapeutic effect by reducing viral load levels within an infected individual, thus prolonging the asymptomatic phase of HIV-1 infection.
摘要:
There is disclosed a shared multiprocessing system with several nodes, or processing units, interconnected together for communication purposes by a dual channeled crossbar switch. Several such multichannel crossbar switches can be linked together to form a large cohesive processing system where processing units from one node can access memory from another node on the same crossbar or from another node on a different crossbar. The interconnection between crossbars is accomplished by a circular ring. In operation, the system allows for long memory latencies while not increasing the length of short (local) memory latencies. This is, accomplished by storing the bulk of long latency requests at the local processing unit and only sending the request when there is an actual availability of communication capacity to handle the long latency request.

摘要:
A computer-assisted inspection system provides computer architectures and software controlled algorithms to automatically provide vehicle inspections and repair recommendations including estimated repair time and cost of depression type damage such as dents. Features provided by a handheld wireless touchscreen based inspection device include flat car part picking, auto grading including seller grading, and automatic calculation of body and bumper dent repair parameters and directions.
摘要:
The combination of an IGF-1R antagonist such as a humanized antibody and an anti-proliferative drug is described. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention describes the combination of an IGF-1R antibody and an anti-proliferative drug belonging to the EGFR-inhibitor class, which is preferably erlotinib. The combination according to the present invention is useful for the treatment of tumours, including IGF-1R and/or EGFR mediated or dependent tumours.
