摘要:
A polypeptide is disclosed that is specifically detected in the cells of the prostate, termed Splice Variant-Novel Gene Expressed in Prostate (SV-NGEP). Polynucleotides encoding SV-NGEP are also disclosed, as are vectors including these polynucleotides. Host cells transformed with these polynucleotides are also disclosed. Antibodies and immunoconjugates are disclosed that specifically bind SV-NGEP. Methods are disclosed for using an NGEP polypeptide, an antibody that specifically binds SV-NGEP, or a polynucleotide encoding SV-NGEP. Assays are disclosed for the detection prostate cancer. Pharmaceutical compositions including an SV-NGEP polypeptide, an antibody that specifically binds SV-NGEP, or a polynucleotide encoding SV-NGEP are also disclosed. These pharmaceutical compositions are of use in the treatment of prostate cancer.

The present invention provides mesothelin peptide fragments corresponding to the CA125 binding site of mesothelin. The peptide fragments find use in disrupting the binding interaction between mesothelin and CA 125, for example, in the treatment and prevention of cancers that require the interaction of mesothelin and CA125 for growth, progression and/or metastasis.

摘要:
This invention provides nucleic acids containing sequences from a TCRγ transcript from prostate epithelial cells and many breast cancer cells and a T-cell receptor gamma Alternate Reading frame Protein (“TARP”) expressed from the translation of those sequences. Vaccines made from TARP are useful in raising immune responses to cells in which the protein is expressed, including prostate cancer cells and cells of many breast cancers. The invention also provides methods for diagnosing the presence of prostate cancer and TARP-expressing breast cancers, as well as methods of administering TARP and nucleic acids encoding TARP to subjects.

This invention provides for recombinant single chain antibodies capable of specifically binding to a Lewis.sup.Y -related carbohydrate antigen and fusion proteins comprising these antibodies. More particularly, the invention provides for humanized chain Fv regions of the monoclonal antibodies B1, B3 and B5 and fusion proteins incorporating these humanized antibodies. The antibodies may comprise humanized variable heavy (V.sub.H) chains, humanized variable light (V.sub.L) chains, or both. The invention also provides for DNA sequences encoding the various humanized antibodies. In addition, the invention provides for methods of detecting cells bearing a Lewis.sup.Y antigen in a patient and for methods of killing or inhibiting the growth of cells bearing a Lewis.sup.Y antigen in a patient.
摘要:
PAGE-4 is a gene preferentially expressed in normal male and female reproductive tissues, prostate, testis, fallopian tube, uterus and placenta, as well as in prostate cancer, testicular cancer and uterine cancer. This expression pattern makes it a target for diagnosis and for vaccine based therapy of neoplasms of prostate, testis and uterus. The invention provides immunogenic compositions comprising PAGE-4 protein or immunogenic peptides thereof, methods of inhibiting the growth of malignant cells expressing PAGE-4, and methods of inducing an enhanced immune response to PAGE-4-expressing cancers.
