摘要:
Cancer associated antigens have been identified by autologous antibody screening of libraries of nucleic acids expressed in testis cells using antisera from seminoma patients. The invention relates to nucleic acids and encoded polypeptides which are cancer associated antigens expressed in patients afflicted with a variety of cancers. The invention provides, inter alia, isolated nucleic acid molecules, expression vectors containing those molecules and host cells transfected with those molecules. The invention also provides isolated proteins and peptides, antibodies to those proteins and peptides and cytotoxic T lymphocytes which recognize the proteins and peptides. Fragments of the foregoing including functional fragments and variants also are provided. Kits containing the foregoing molecules additionally are provided. The molecules provided by the invention can be used in the diagnosis, monitoring, research, or treatment of conditions characterized by the expression of one or more cancer associated antigens.
摘要:
The invention provides methods for diagnosing cancer including breast cancer, based on the identification of certain breast cancer-associated polypeptides as antigens that elicit immune responses in breast cancer. The identified antigens can be utilized as markers for diagnosing breast cancer, and for following the course of treatment of breast cancer.

摘要:
The invention relates to newly identified cancer associated antigens, referred to as CT7, KOC-2 and KOC-3. The invention also relates to observations regarding known molecule KOC-1. It has been discovered that each of these molecules provokes antibodies when expressed by a subject. The ramifications of this observation are also a part of this invention.
