Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090202576PEPTIDE VACCINES FOR LUNG CANCERS EXPRESSING TTK, URLC10 OR KOC1 POLYPEPTIDES - The present invention provides peptides comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 8, 67, 89, as well as peptides comprising the above-mentioned amino acid sequences in which 1, 2, or several amino acids are substituted, deleted, or added, and having cytotoxic T cell inducibility. The present invention also provides drugs for treating or preventing tumors comprising these peptides. The peptides of the present invention can also be used as vaccines.08-13-2009
20090214571COLON CANCER RELATED GENE TOM34 - Objective methods for detecting and diagnosing colon cancer are described herein. In one embodiment, the diagnostic method involves determining the expression level of TOM34 that discriminates between colon cancer cells and normal cells. Finally, the present invention provides methods of screening for therapeutic agents useful in the treatment of colon cancer, methods of treating colon cancer and method for vaccinating a subject against colon cancer.08-27-2009
20090214581EPITOPE PEPTIDES DERIVED FROM VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR 1 AND VACCINES CONTAINING THESE PEPTIDES - The present invention provides immunogenic peptides comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 13, 32, and peptides comprising the above-mentioned amino acid sequences in which 1, 2, or several amino acids are substituted or added, and having cytotoxic T cell inducibility, and also provides drugs for treating or preventing tumors comprising these peptides. The peptides of this invention can be used as vaccines.08-27-2009
20090252752KDR PEPTIDES AND VACCINES COMPRISING THE SAME - The present invention provides nonapeptides selected from peptides comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, 3, 5, 8, 11, or 12; nonapeptides or decapeptides selected from peptides comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:29, 30, 33, 34, 40, or 46; and peptides with cytotoxic T cell inducibility, in which one, two, or several amino acids are substituted or added to the above-mentioned amino acid sequences, as well as pharmaceuticals for treating or preventing tumors, where the pharmaceuticals comprise these peptides. The peptides of this invention can be used as vaccines.10-08-2009
20100297157VACCINE THERAPY FOR CHOROIDAL NEOVASCULARIZATION - The present inventors administered a peptide derived from VEGFR-2, which is known as one of the proteins involved in neovascularization, to model mice (A2/Kb transgenic mice) expressing human HLA-A*0201, and tested whether or not the peptide has vaccine effect. As a result, the present inventors successfully discovered that vaccination using this peptide as an antigen is effective for inhibition of choroid neovascularization, and thereby completed the present invention. More specifically, the present invention provides vaccines for treatment and/or prevention of diseases caused by choroid neovascularization (neovascular maculopathy), which contain a VEGFR-2-derived peptide as an active ingredient.11-25-2010
20110027302PEPTIDE VACCINES FOR LUNG CANCERS EXPRESSING TTK, URLC10 OR KOC1 POLYPEPTIDES - The present invention provides peptides comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 8, 67, 89, as well as peptides comprising the above-mentioned amino acid sequences in which 1, 2, or several amino acids are substituted, deleted, or added, and having cytotoxic T cell inducibility. The present invention also provides drugs for treating or preventing tumors comprising these peptides. The peptides of the present invention can also be used as vaccines.02-03-2011
20110081356ANTI-CANCER DRUG - The present invention is directed to an anti-cancer drug containing an anti-MFG-E8 antibody as an active ingredient, and to an anti-cancer drug which employs an anti-MFG-E8 antibody in combination with a cancer therapy employing an anti-cancer agent other than the anti-MFG-E8 antibody.04-07-2011
