摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for diagnosis and/or prognosis of cancer and for monitoring the progression of cancer and/or the therapeutic efficacy of an anti-cancer treatment in a subject by determining the molecular form of cadherin at the cell surface of cancer cells in the subject. The invention also relates to a method for preventing, inhibiting or treating cancer or its metastasis in a subject by increasing the adhesive forms of cadherin and/or decreasing the non-adhesive forms of cadherin at the cell surface. The invention also relates to a method step of determining the expression level of furin and proprotein convertase 5A (PC5A).
摘要:
The object of the present invention is to provide methods for the production of recombinant human Factor VIII, employing specific endoproteases, thus assuring full proteolytic processing of said factor even during its biosynthesis, consequently avoiding additional purification steps. Other objects of the present invention are the recombinant human Factor VIII as obtained by said methods, pharmaceutical compositions, related uses and therapeutic methods.
