    摘要: Surface proteins predominantly associated with multiple myeloma are identified as potential targets for developing anti-multiple myeloma therapeutics. In accordance with one embodiment antibodies are generated that specifically bind to epitopes of the identified protein that are associated with multiple myeloma cells. These antibodies can then be used to target the delivery of cytotoxic agents to multiple myeloma cells in a patient or used to prepare CAR T-cells for the treatment of multiple myeloma patients.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for finding inhibitors of the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase FKBP1A or antibodies, proteins or molecules having a specific affinity to FKBP1A. The invention also relates to FKBP1A-specific siRNA, inhibitors of the expression of FKBP1A, inhibitors of the enzymatic activity of FKBP1A, and inhibitors of the interaction(s) of FKBP1A with interaction partner(s), in each case for the treatment of diseases, in particular cancers or neurodegenerative diseases. The invention further relates to the use of FKBP1A as a prognostic or diagnostic marker for cancers. The cancers are preferably mammary carcinoma, in particular triple-negative mammary carcinoma, in this case very particularly the mesenchymal stem-like sub-type.

    摘要: The present invention relates to antibodies that bind to human and monkey mucin 17 (MUC17). Moreover, the invention relates to a detection system comprising such antibodies. The antibodies or the detection system may be used for detecting or quantifying MUC17, for diagnosing a disease associated with MUC17, for patient stratification, monitoring disease progression, and evaluating the therapeutic response.

    摘要: Methods for determination of risk, previous history and/or presence of a betaretrovirus infection in a subject are described herein. Said methods may comprise incubating a biological sample from the subject, the biological sample comprising immune effector-producing cells, with one or more betaretrovirus-specific epitopes, the betaretrovirus-specific epitopes comprising at least 7 contiguous amino acids according to any one of SEQ ID Nos. 1-36, and measuring the production of immune effectors by the immune effector-producing cells, wherein production of the immune effectors by the immune effector-producing cells determines risk and/or presence of betaretrovirus infection in the subject. Isolated peptides and kits for carrying out the methods are also described.

    摘要: The present invention relates to the field of production, identification and selection of biological binding molecules such as antibodies or fragments thereof, as well as to diagnostic procedures using them in the diagnosis of cancers, in particular malignant B-cell neoplasia. The binding molecules are able to selectively bind to autonomously active or autonomously activated B-cell receptors, the autonomously active or autonomously activated B-cell receptors being characterized by the presence of structural domains to which the binding molecule selectively binds and which are responsible for the autonomously active or autonomously activated state of the B-cell receptors.
