    摘要: The disclosure is in the field of medical treatments and relates to the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). In particular, it provides means and methods for the improved treatment of certain subgroups of MM patients, more in particular, patients with a poor prognosis. In a particular embodiment, the disclosure provides a method for determining whether a subject with multiple myeloma is likely to respond to a treatment with a proteasome inhibitor wherein the method comprises the step of performing, on a sample from the subject, a gene expression analysis of a number of N genes selected from the group consisting of the genes NUAK1, ITGB7, AGMAT, TFAP2C, CCDC85A, CLEC7A, TMEM37, RNF144A, and CMPK2, wherein N is at least 2 and wherein it is concluded that the subject is likely to respond to a treatment with a proteasome inhibitor in the case where at least two of the N genes are aberrantly expressed.

    摘要: The present invention provides a reporter system comprising (i) a gene expression construct for expression in a cell of a reporter gene, said reporter gene encoding a fusion protein comprising a transmembrane domain fused in-frame to a reporter domain, wherein said transmembrane domain upon insertion of the fusion protein into the cell membrane anchors the fusion protein in the cell membrane while expressing the reporter domain at the cell surface, and (ii) a reporter peptide labeled with a radiolabel, wherein said reporter domain comprises the large polypeptide subunit of a split luciferase, and wherein said reporter peptide comprises the small peptide subunit of said split luciferase, wherein both subunits associate by complementation to assemble into a luciferase complex.

    摘要: According to one method, a sample with cells contains a phototagging agent. The sample is imaged to identify at least one target cell to be isolated. The identified target cell in the sample is selectively irradiated with photo-activating light for selectively activating the phototagging agent in the target cell to change its fluorescence response. The irradiated target cell is isolated from other cells in the sample based on a difference in its fluorescence response compared to non-activated phototagging agent in the other cells. Further aspects are directed to a corresponding microscope system and chemical compound for use as the phototagging agent.
