    摘要: The MN/CA IX protein is identified herein as a hypoxia marker. The MN/CA9 gene promoter is characterized, and the location of the HIF-1 binding site within the MN/CA9 promoter is identified. Further, the hypoxia inducibility of the MN/CA9 gene and the uses of such inducibility are disclosed. In one aspect, the invention provides diagnostic/prognostic tools for determining the presence of hypoxia in a tissue in a vertebrate, preferably a human, and for measuring the relative degree of hypoxia in said vertebrate. In another aspect, the invention provides methods using tumor biopsies to predict the radioresistance of a preneoplastic/neoplastic tissue in a vertebrate subject, preferably a human patient, for diseases in which MN/CA IX levels can be used to indicate radiobiologically relevant tumor hypoxia. Such predictive methods can be used as an aid in patient therapy selection.

    摘要: Identified herein is the location of the MN protein binding site, and MN proteins/polypeptides that compete for attachment to vertebrate cells with immobilized MN protein. Such MN proteins/polypeptides prevent cell-cell adhesion and the formation of intercellular contacts. The MN protein binding site is a therapeutic target that can be blocked by organic or inorganic molecules, preferably organic molecules, more preferably proteins/polypeptides that specifically bind to that site. Therapeutic methods for inhibiting the growth of preneoplastic/neoplastic vertebrate cells that abnormally express MN protein are disclosed. Vectors are provided that encode the variable domains of MN-specific antibodies and a flexible linker polypeptide separating those domains. Further vectors are disclosed that encode a cytotoxic protein/polypeptide operatively linked to the MN gene promoter or a MN gene promoter fragment comprising the HIF-1 consensus binding sequence, and which vectors preferably further encode a cytokine. The MN gene promoter is characterized, and the binding site for a repressor of MN transcription is disclosed. Further, the hypoxia inducibility of the MN gene and the uses of such induciblity inducibility are disclosed.

    摘要: A way for a consumer to display personalized information is provided as a display device for displaying the personalized information or other objects, and an attachment mechanism that attaches the display device to a vehicle by way of a base and that is also detachable from the base. The personalized information may be placed on or inside the display device for the consumer, or the consumer may place the personalized information on or inside the display device himself. The personalized information may represent military affiliation, authorization, or may be any other personalized image or text. The base may be affixed to the vehicle by way of a magnet or other mechanism. The display device may include a recess for holding a can or cup. The display device may be pivoted relative to the base so that the display device may be displayed perpendicular or parallel to a plane defined by the vehicle's wheels.

    摘要: A method of advertising involves providing one or more advertisements that attach to a vehicle with an attachment mechanism, by way of a base. Each advertisement can be easily detached from the base for the purposes of attaching another advertisement without removing the base from the vehicle. An attractive cap using an identical attachment mechanism can be provided to cover the base. The base, the advertisement, and the cap can be provided as a set. Advertisement designs can be quickly and conveniently swapped at the vehicle user's discretion because they all utilize a common base design. Advertisers may provide the user with an advertisement for the advertiser's product, and with a plate compatible with the base already on the user's vehicle. The present invention provides a novel way for individuals to advertise their likings and a novel way for organizations to reach consumer attention by creating roaming advertisements for new and established brands and markets.
