20090317386 | Transcription Infidelity, Detection and Uses Thereof - The present invention relates to the identification of a novel mechanism of transcription infidelity in cells. The invention provides compositions and methods to detect the level of transcript ion infidelity in a sample, as well as the use thereof, e.g., for therapeutic, diagnostic, pharmacogenomic or drug design. As will be disclosed, the invention is particularly suited for detecting, monitoring or treating proliferative cell disorders, for the design and/or screening of drugs, for patient or disease profiling, prediction of disease severity and evaluation of drug efficacy. | 12-24-2009 |
20110053787 | Compositions and Methods of Detecting Post-Stop Peptides - The present invention relates to novel methods and products for assessing the physiological status of a subject. More particularly, the invention relates to methods of assessing the presence, risk or stage of a cancer in a subject by identifying or measuring the levels of proteins that exhibits post-stop peptides in a sample from the subject. The invention is also suitable to assess the responsiveness of a subject to a treatment, as well as to screen candidate drugs and design novel therapies. The invention may be used in any mammalian subject, particularly in human subjects. | 03-03-2011 |
20110097743 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF DETECTING TIABS - The present invention relates to novel methods and products for assessing the physiological status of a subject. More particularly, the invention relates to methods of assessing the presence, risk or stage of a cancer in a subject by measuring the levels of antibodies against particular aberrant protein domains in a sample from the subject, or the presence or number of immune cells bearing TCR specific for such aberrant protein domains. The invention is also suitable to assess the responsiveness of a subject to a treatment, as well as to screen candidate drugs and design novel therapies. The invention may be used in any mammalian subject, particularly in human subjects. | 04-28-2011 |
