The invention relates to peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) monolayers or bone-marrow cell monolayers and methods for its culture and corresponding uses of said monolayers. The present invention also relates, in some aspects, to screening methods comprising the PBMC monolayer or bone-marrow cell monolayer of the invention for determination of response or lack of response of a disease to a therapeutic agent and/or drug screening methods. In some aspects, the invention further relates to methods for diagnosing a disease or predisposition to a disease in a PBMC donor or bone-marrow cell donor comprising the PBMCs/bone-marrow cells cultured according to the method of the invention and/or to methods for determining whether the disease is likely to respond or is responsive to treatment with a therapeutic agent.

Methods for using the human interleukin-4 receptor (IL-4) as a biomarker for determining patent populations for treatment, predicting disease treatment efficacy, and predicting disease treatment prognosis in a variety of cancers, in particular glioblastoma and recurrent glioblastoma.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for diagnosing solid cancers comprising lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, bile duct cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, brain tumors, kidney cancer, liver cancer, and cervical cancer. More specifically, the apparatus comprises: a concentration measurement unit for measuring the concentration of each of acyl-carnitine (AC), nudifloramide (2PY), and lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) from a biological sample; a pre-processing unit for pre-processing the measured concentrations; and a diagnosis unit for determining the diagnosis information of cancer through linear discriminant analysis using the pre-processed concentrations.

Provided are an anti-B7-H3 antibody binding specifically to B7-H3 and a use thereof and, more particularly, are an anti-B7-H3 antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof, a nucleic acid encoding the same, a vector carrying the nucleic acid, a cell transformed with the vector, a method for preparing the same, an antibody-drug conjugate or a multi-specific antibody comprising the same, and a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating cancer, autoimmune disease, or inflammatory disease, or a diagnostic composition, each composition comprising the same. The anti-B7-H3 antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof can bind to human and non-human B7-H3 at high affinity and can be endocytosized after binding thereto. Thus, the anti-B7-H3 antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof, or the antibody-drug conjugate or the multi-specific antibody comprising the same can be advantageously used for preventing, treating, or diagnosing cancer or tumor, autoimmune disease, or inflammatory disease.

Provided are a novel biomarker for a brain tumor and a method for using the same. A method for detecting a brain tumor, the method comprising the step of detecting specific miRNA as biomarker.

To provide a monoclonal antibody against canine CD20 having a more excellent effect than existing antibodies.

The present invention provides a monoclonal antibody or antibody fragment against canine CD20 that has a heavy chain variable region consisting of an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or an amino acid sequence in which one or several amino acids are deleted, substituted, or added in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, and a light chain variable region consisting of an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 or an amino acid sequence in which one or several amino acids are deleted, substituted, or added in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, and that has a light chain constant region consisting of an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3 or an amino acid sequence in which one or several amino acids are deleted, substituted, or added in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3.

A micropeptide HMMW of a new structure and an application thereof, and relates to the field of biomedical research and development is prpvided. The micropeptide HMMW is obtained by encoding human lncRNA, and a recombinant vector is constructed so that objective cells perform high expression on the micropeptide HMMW, which can inhibit proliferation and migration of multiple solid tumors including the head and neck cancer, thyroid cancer, lung cancer, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, stomach cancer, breast cancer, kidney cancer, skin cancer and the like, and growth of tumors in the body. The micropeptide HMMW has potential value for new drug development, important tumor detection and treatment value.

This invention concerns various methods of using labeled HSP90 inhibitors to improve treatment of cancer patients with HSP90 inhibitors, including ex vivo and in vivo methods for determining whether a tumor will likely respond to therapy with an HSP90 inhibitor.

Disclosed herein are methods, compositions, and devices for use in the early detection of cancer. The methods include preparing cell-free nucleic acid molecules from a subject for sequencing, sequencing a panel of regions in the cell-free nucleic acid molecules, and detecting one or more markers that are indicative of a cancer.

From gene expression analysis with a long-term recurrence-free group and a recurrence metastasis group of stomach cancer, CHRNB2 and NPTXR were identified as drug discovery targets. Tumor growth was successfully inhibited by an antibody medicine or a nucleic acid medicine targeting CHRNB2 or NPTXR. Furthermore, a polyclonal antibody and a monoclonal antibody linking to CHRNB2 or NPTXR are provided. Since these receptor molecules are novel molecular targets, treatment of cases which the existing therapeutic drugs have no effect on is made possible.
