摘要:
The present invention is directed to the identification of markers that can be used to determine whether tumors are sensitive or resistant to a therapeutic agent. The present invention is also directed to the identification of therapeutic targets. The invention features a number of “sensitivity markers.” These are markers that are expressed in most or all cell lines that are sensitive to treatment with an agent and which are not expressed (or are expressed at a rather low level) in cells that are resistant to treatment with that agent. The invention also features a number of “resistance markers.” These are markers that are expressed in most or all cell lines that are resistant to treatment with an agent and which are not expressed (or are expressed at a rather low level) in cells that are sensitive to treatment with that agent. The invention also features marker sets that can predict patients that are likely to respond or not to respond to an agent.

The present invention is directed to the identification of markers that can be used to determine whether ovarian cancer is sensitive or resistant to a therapeutic agent. In particular, the present invention is directed to the use of certain combinations of markers, wherein the expression of the markers correlates with sensitivity or resistance to a therapeutic agent. Thus, by examining the expression of the individual markers of a marker set, also referred to as the expression profile of the marker set, it is possible to determine whether a therapeutic agent, or combination of agents, will be most likely to reduce the growth rate of the ovarian cancer.
摘要:
A method for detecting the presence of cancer employs monoclonal antibody OXA or OXB, antibodies which bind to the antigen bound by monoclonal antibody OXA or OXB, or fragments of the foregoing which bind to the antigen bound by monoclonal antibody OXA or OXB. The method comprises contacting a sample of a biological fluid from a subject with the antibody under conditions permitting the antibody to form a reaction product, and then detecting the presence or absence of the reaction product. The method is particularly useful for monitoring the progression of treatment in a patient previously diagnosed as having ovarian cancer. The method is also useful for detecting and monitoring endometrial cancer.
