75 results about "Cancer development" patented technology

The development of cancer takes place in a multi-step process. As the cells become more abnormal, they gain new capabilities, such as the ability to release growth factors and digestive enzymes. The cells continue to divide, impacting nearby normal cells, often reducing the function of the affected organ.

Use of anti-α5β1 antibodies to inhibit cancer cell proliferation

The present invention provides methods for direct killing of cancer cells using anti-α5β1 antibodies. Generally, the method comprises contacting a cancer cell that expresses α5β1 on its surface with an anti-α5β1 antibody, and thereby inducing the death of the cancer cell. The methods of the invention may be employed at an early stage of cancer development in a patient to prevent tumor establishment. In addition, the methods may be used to treat previously formed tumors especially in cancer that have not proven susceptible to anti-angiogenesis therapy. The methods may be employed as a combination therapy of anti-α5β1 antibodies together with cancer chemotherapeutic agents or other molecular-based cancer therapeutic agents.

Phylogenetic Analysis of Mass Spectrometry or Gene Array Data for the Diagnosis of Physiological Conditions

ActiveUS20070259363A1Facilitates interplatform comparabilityMedical simulationMedical data miningDiseasePotential biomarkers
A universal data-mining platform capable of analyzing mass spectrometry (MS) serum proteomic profiles and / or gene array data to produce biologically meaningful classification; i.e., group together biologically related specimens into clades. This platform utilizes the principles of phylogenetics, such as parsimony, to reveal susceptibility to cancer development (or other physiological or pathophysiological conditions), diagnosis and typing of cancer, identifying stages of cancer, as well as post-treatment evaluation. To place specimens into their corresponding clade(s), the invention utilizes two algorithms: a new data-mining parsing algorithm, and a publicly available phylogenetic algorithm (MIX). By outgroup comparison (i.e., using a normal set as the standard reference), the parsing algorithm identifies under and / or overexpressed gene values or in the case of sera, (i) novel or (ii) vanished MS peaks, and peaks signifying (iii) up or (iv) down regulated proteins, and scores the variations as either derived (do not exit in the outgroup set) or ancestral (exist in the outgroup set); the derived is given a score of “1”, and the ancestral a score of “0”—these are called the polarized values. Furthermore, the shared derived characters that it identifies are potential biomarkers for cancers and other conditions and their subclasses.

Kit and method for diagnosis of lung cancer in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients through meta-genome analysis

The invention relates to a kit and method for the diagnosis of lung cancer in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients through meta-genome analysis. The invention provides a kit for providing diagnosis information of lung cancer through bacteria meta-genome analysis. More specifically, the invention provides a kit for predicting the risk of lung cancer or diagnosing lung cancer basedon the increasing or decreasing of extracellular vesicles of specific bacteria of a sample of a tested patient through bacterial meta-genome analysis. The extracellular vesicles (EV) secreted from thebacteria present in an environment can be absorbed into the body and directly affect cancer development. Lung cancer is difficult to diagnose before symptoms occur, thereby making effective treatmentdifficult. According to the present invention, the meta-genomes of the extracellular vesicles (EV) present in the human-derived sample are analyzed to predict the risk of lung cancer, thereby predicting and diagnosing the risk groups of the lung cancer to prevent or delay the incidence of lung cancer through appropriate management. The present invention also enables early prediction even after the incidence to lower the incidence rate of the lung cancer and enhance the treatment effects.

Phosphopeptides as melanoma vaccines

We characterized a total of 175 HLA-DR-associated phosphopeptides using sequential affinity isolation, biochemical enrichment, mass spectrometric sequencing and comparative analysis. Many were derived from source proteins which may have roles in cancer development, growth and metastasis. Most were expressed exclusively by either melanomas or transformed B cells, suggesting the potential to define cell type-specific phosphatome “fingerprints”. We generated HLA-DRβ1*0101-restricted CD4+ T cells specific for a phospho-MART-1 peptide identified in two melanoma cell lines. These T cells showed specificity for phosphopeptide-pulsed antigen presenting cells as well as for intact melanoma cells. MHC II-restricted phosphopeptides recognizable by human CD4+ T cells are potential targets for cancer immunotherapy.
