摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of proteins which are differentially expressed in primary brain tumor tissues, as compared to normal brain tissues, as biomolecular targets for brain tumor treatment therapies. Specifically, the present invention relates to the use of immunotherapeutic and immunoimaging agents which specifically bind to human protein tyrosine phosphatase-zeta (PTPnull) for the treatment and visualization of brain tumors in patients. The present invention also provides compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions for administration in the methods of the invention.
