Abstract:
We provide an antibody capable of binding to an intracellular PRL-I or PRL-3 polypeptide, in which the antibody is capable of binding to an epitope bound by antibody 269, antibody 223 or antibody 318. Such anti-PRL antibodies may be capable of binding to intracellular PRL-I or PRL-3. They may be suitable for use as therapies against cancer or metastasis thereof, or in clinical diagnosis to identify PRL-3 or PRL-1 positive patients.

Abstract:
We provide VHZ for use in a method of treatment, prophylaxis or alleviation of a cancer, such as breast cancer, in an individual. We provide an anti-VHZ agent for the treatment, prophylaxis or alleviation of cancer. We further provide a kit for detecting breast cancer in an individual or susceptibility of the individual to breast cancer comprising means for detection of VHZ expression in the individual or a sample taken from him or her as well as a method of detecting a cancer cell, the method comprising detecting modulation of expression, amount or activity of VHZ in the cell.

Abstract:
Previously, we have shown that a cancer associated-PRL-3 intracellular phosphatase is a potential therapeutic target for PRL-3 antibody therapy. PRL-3 has recently emerged as a potentially useful biomarker for cancer prognosis, particularly the prediction of cancer metastasis (Matsukawa et al, 2010, Ren et al, 12 2009). Here we demonstrate that PRL-3 can act as an independent prognostic marker for cancers.
