摘要:
A novel gene (designated 121P1F1) and its encoded protein are described. While 121P1F1 exhibits tissue specific expression in normal adult tissue, it is aberrantly expressed in multiple cancers including prostate, bladder, kidney, brain, bone, cervical, uterine, ovarian, breast, pancreatic, stomach, colon, rectal, leukocytic, liver and lung cancers. Consequently, 121P1F1 provides a diagnostic and/or therapeutic target for cancers, and the 121P1F1 gene or fragment thereof, or its encoded protein or a fragment thereof used to elicit an immune response.
摘要:
A novel gene (designated PHOR-1) that is highly over-expressed in prostate and other cancers and its encoded protein are described. PHOR-1 is a G protein-coupled receptor with homology to receptors involved in olfaction. PHOR-1 in normal human tissues is restricted to prostate, and this gene is highly over-expressed in prostate cancer as well as in cancers of the kidney, uterus, cervix, stomach and rectum. Consequently, PHOR-1 provides a diagnostic and/or therapeutic target for prostate cancer.
摘要:
Described is a gene and its encoded secreted tumor antigen, termed 36P6D5, and to diagnostic and therapeutic methods and compositions useful in the management of various cancers which express 36P6D5, particularly including cancers of the bladder, kidney, prostate, breast, colon, ovary and pancreas.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and compositions for the diagnosis and therapy of prostate cancer which utilize isolated polynucleotides corresponding to the human SGP28 gene, proteins encoded by the SGP28 gene and fragments thereof, and antibodies capable of specifically recognizing and binding to SGP28 proteins.
摘要:
A novel gene (designated 84P2A9) and its encoded protein is described. While 84P2A9 exhibits prostate and testis specific expression in normal adult tissue, it is aberrantly expressed multiple cancers including prostate, testis, kidney, brain, bone, skin, ovarian, breast, pancreas, colon, lymphocytic and lung cancers. Consequently, 84P2A9 provides a diagnostic and/or therapeutic target for cancers, and the 84P2A9 gene or fragment thereof, or its encoded protein or a fragment thereof used to elicit an immune response.
摘要:
A transverse wedge connector system for forming an electrical connection with first and second elongate electrical conductors includes an electrically conductive first connector member, an electrically conductive second connector member, an insert member, and a clamping mechanism. The first connector member includes a first body having a first channel portion and a first abutment portion. The first channel portion defines a first channel to receive the first conductor. The second connector member includes a second body having a second channel portion and a second abutment portion. The second channel portion defines a second channel to receive the second conductor. The insert member is configured to be selectively mounted in the first channel and defining an insert member channel to receive the first conductor when the insert member is mounted in the first channel. The clamping mechanism is selectively operable to displace the first and second connector members relative to one another from an open position to a closed position to clamp the first conductor between the first channel portion and the second abutment surface, and to clamp the second conductor between the second channel portion and the first abutment portion to thereby form a connection.
摘要:
An intervertebral implant has a fusion body with at least one keel that anchors the implant into cancellous bone of at least one vertebral body. A method for implantation includes lateral implantation of the implant.
摘要:
An implant is used to distract and maintain the distraction of spinous processes of adjacent vertebrae of the spine. The implant can be secured to a spine stabilization system. The combination of the spine stabilization system with spine distraction provides an improved therapeutic benefit to the patient receiving such an implant.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a device with that can be placed between two vertebrae. The implant is characterized by having a first plate and a second plates with a crossbar therebetween. The crossbar fits within cavities on each of the first and second plate and allows for pivotal or rotational motion and also for twisting motion.
摘要:
An artificial vertebral disk replacement implant is disclosed along with its method of operation and a method of implanting. The implant has first and second plates that each mate with a vertebral body. Each plate has one side for mating with a vertebral body. The first plate has a socket on one side, and the second plate has an elongated ball on one side. The ball of the first plate and the socket of the second plate form a ball-and-socket joint when the two plates are in contact with each other. The implant achieves a range of motion equivalent to a natural range of motion.
