摘要:
Surprisingly, the present inventors have discovered that expression of TAT-005 protein in human patients is associated with cancer, and that the over-expressed protein is present in plasma membrane fractions. Thus, the present inventors have discovered that TAT-005 is associated with abnormal development and growth, and may be useful as a target for the identification of anti-cancer com\ pounds, including antibodies for use in immunotherapy. Accordingly, the present invention provides methods for the identification of compounds that inhibit TAT-005 expression or activity, comprising: contacting a candidate compound with a TAT-005 and detecting the presence or absence of binding between said compound and said TAT-005, or detecting a change in TAT-005 expression or activity. Methods are also included for the identification of compounds that modulate TAT-005 expression or activity, comprising: administering a compound to a cell or cell population, and detecting a change in TAT-005 expression or activity. The methods of the invention are useful for the identification of anti-cancer compounds.

摘要:
The present invention is directed to computer automated methods and systems for identifying and characterizing biomolecules in a biological sample. Mass spectrometry measurements are obtained on biomolecules in a sample. These measurements are analyzed to determine the abundance of the biomolecules in the sample, and the abundance measurements are coupled with one or more distinguishing characteristics of biomolecules they are associated with, thereby permitting computer-mediated comparison of abundances of biomolecules from multiple biological samples.

A method is provided for joining a microchip device to a capillary tube. The microchip device has a capillary channel opening onto an edge surface of the device. A short hole is drilled into the edge surface, aligned with the capillary channel. The drilling is done with a flat bottom, preferably by a two-step drilling process. Then, the end of the capillary can be inserted into the hole so that its end is substantially flush with the flat bottom of the hole, thereby eliminating dead volume. Testing has shown that this connection provides very little band broadening of samples transported through the capillary channel into the capillary tube. The tip of the capillary tube can be tapered, so that it is suitable for use as an electrospray source for a mass spectrometer.

The interferometric current sensor is for measuring an electrical current. It comprises a light source for generating a light beam; a single mode birefringent waveguide having a linear birefringence and a circular birefringence, the circular and linear birefringences having respectively given orders of magnitude, the order of magnitude of the circular birefringence being equal or higher than the order of magnitude of the linear birefringence, the waveguide having a first loop portion for encircling the electrical current; a beamsplitter having a first input port optically coupled to the light source, and second and third input/output ports optically coupled to ends of the waveguide for launching counter-propagating light beams into the respective ends of the waveguide and for receiving the counter-propagating light beams therefrom; and a pseudo-depolarizer optically coupled in series with the waveguide for converting each of the counter-propagating light beams into a predetermined ratio of useful counter-propagating light signals and useless counter-propagating light signals. It also comprises an optical detector optically coupled to the ends of the waveguide via the beamsplitter for detecting a light intensity, the light intensity is representative of the current.
