摘要:
The present invention is directed to isolated populations of human natural immunoglobulin-producing B1 lymphocytes, wherein the B1 lymphocytes display surface biomarkers CD20, CD43 and CD27 and are either CD11b+ or GD11b-. The present invention is also directed to a method of isolating human natural immunoglobulin- producing B1 lymphocytes from a blood sample comprising isolating B lymphocytes from the sample that express surface biomarkers CD20, CD43 and CD27, and, optionally, CD11b. In addition, the present invention is directed to a methods for diagnosing a B1 cell disorder in a patient, determining the prognosis of a patient having a B1 cell disorder, and treating a patient having a B1 cell disorder.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a method of treating a subject at risk for or having a condition mediated by an inflammatory cytokine cascade comprising administering to the subject an amount of a GAPDH inhibitor effective to treat the subject at risk for or having a condition mediated by an inflammatory cytokine cascade.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for treating a subject having chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) comprising administering to the subject one or more agents that target cell surface membrane antigens expressed preferentially on cells of the proliferative compartment of a CLL clone of the subject to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia in the subject. The present invention also provides a method for treating a subject having chronic lymphocytic leukemia comprising administering to the subject one or more agents that target cell surface membrane antigens expressed preferentially on cells of the "resting re-entry compartment" to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia in the subject.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for distinguishing benign human papilloma virus (HPV)-infected tissue from HPV related lesions that have undergone malignant transformation. The invention comprises a simple histochemical staining method and details a novel process for examining HPV-infected cells by determining susceptibility to enzymatic nuclear digestion. Residual virion associated DNA is seen only in benign HPV-infected lesions, while absence of residual nuclear DNA is seen with malignant transformation. The method can be used to predict biologic behavior of HPV-infected lesions. The invention can improve current cervical cancer screening programs by supplementing histology and cytology, which fail to distinguish transient HPV infection from precancerous cervical lesions. The invention can also improve clinical management of patients by defining malignant potential of HPV-infected tissue more accurately.
