    摘要: The current disclosure provides specific peptides, and derived ionization characteristics of the peptides from the estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and/or antigen Ki67 (Ki67) proteins that are particularly advantageous for quantifying the ER, PR, and/or Ki67 proteins directly in biological samples that have been fixed in formalin by the method of Selected Reaction Monitoring/Multiple Reaction Monitoring (SRM/MRM) mass spectrometry. Such biological samples are chemically preserved and fixed wherein the biological sample is selected from tissues and cells treated with formaldehyde containing agents/fixatives including formalin-fixed tissue/cells, formalin-fixed/paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue/cells, FFPE tissue blocks and cells from those blocks, and tissue culture cells that have been formalin fixed and or paraffin embedded. A protein sample is prepared from a biological sample using the Liquid Tissue™ reagents and protocol, and the ER, PR, and/or Ki67 proteins are quantitated in the Liquid Tissue™ sample by the method of SRM/MRM mass spectrometry by quantitating in the protein sample at least one or more of the peptides described for one or more of the ER, PR, and/or Ki67 proteins. These peptides can be quantitated if they reside in a modified or in an unmodified form. An example of a modified form of an ER, PR, and/or Ki67 peptide is phosphorylation of a tyrosine, threonine, serine, and/or other amino acid residues within the peptide sequence.

    摘要: The invention provides means of manipulating hematopoietic stem cell differentiation by modulation of levels of NR2F6 (EAR2). Provided are compositions of matter, protocols and methods of use by which inhibiting expression of NR2F6 or activity thereof promotes differentiation of selective hematopoietic lineages, or conversely overexpression of NR2F6 or activity thereof inhibits differentiation. In one embodiment inhibition of differentiation is performed in other cell lineages besides hematopoietic.

    摘要: The present invention relates to methods for identifying susceptibility of impaired hepatic wound healing in a patient, most particularly by identifying modifications of the of PPAR-γ and TGFβ1 genes. It further relates to stratifying populations of patients to determine susceptibility to impaired hepatic wound healing and direct appropriate healthcare resources. More specifically methods can be used to stratify liver disease patient populations to identify those most likely to progress to cirrhosis, or to identify the likelihood that a patient with liver disease will progress to having cirrhosis.
