System for detecting infection in synovial fluid
The invention provides methods and systems for detecting a biomarker in a synovial fluid wherein the system also includes a control to ensure that the test sample is indeed synovial fluid. The biomarkers and the control for synovial fluid can be identified using proteomic methods, including but not limited to antibody based methods, such as an enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA), a radioimmunoassay (RIA), or a lateral flow immunoassay.
ANTI-MUTATED KRAS T CELL RECEPTORS
Disclosed is an isolated or purified T cell receptor (TCR) having antigenic specificity for an HLA-A11-restricted epitope of mutated Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) (KRAS.sub.7-16), Neuroblastoma RAS Viral (V-Ras) Oncogene Homolog (NRAS), or Harvey Rat Sarcoma Viral Oncogene Homolog (HRAS). Related polypeptides and proteins, as well as related nucleic acids, recombinant expression vectors, host cells, populations of cells, and pharmaceutical compositions are also provided. Also disclosed are methods of detecting the presence of cancer in a mammal and methods of treating or preventing cancer in a mammal.
AKT-SPECIFIC CAPTURE AGENTS, COMPOSITIONS, AND METHODS OF USING AND MAKING
The present application provides stable peptide-based Akt capture agents and the use thereof as detection, diagnosis, and treatment agents. The application further provides novel methods of developing stable peptide-based capture agents, including Akt capture agents, using iterative on-bead in situ click chemistry.
BIOMARKERS FOR PREDICTING SENSITIVITY TO CANCER TREATMENTS
Provided herein are biomarkers, and combinations of biomarkers, for predicting sensitivity to cancer treatments, wherein the presence of a mutation to AKT correlates with sensitivity of the cancer to AKT inhibitors, such as (S)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(4-((5R,7R)-7-hydroxy-5-methyl-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-4-yl)piperazin-1-yl)-3-(isopropylamino)propan-1-one.
Anti C-MET antibodies
Provided herein are antibody molecules that bind specifically to C-MET and related nucleic acid molecules, vectors and host cells. Also provided herein are medical uses of such antibody molecules.
SYSTEM FOR DETECTING INFECTION IN SYNOVIAL FLUID
The invention provides methods and systems for detecting a biomarker in a synovial fluid wherein the system also includes a control to ensure that the test sample is indeed synovial fluid. The biomarkers and the control for synovial fluid can be identified using proteomic methods, including but not limited to antibody based methods, such as an enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA), a radioimmunoassay (RIA), or a lateral flow immunoassay.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS TO DETECT HEAD AND NECK CANCER
Disclosed are compositions and methods to detect proteins associated with Head and Neck Cancer, generally, or more particularly, biomarkers of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC). Such markers may be useful to allow individuals susceptible to HNSCC to manage their lifestyle and/or medical treatment to avoid further progression of disease.
AKT-specific capture agents, compositions, and methods of using and making
The present application provides stable peptide-based Akt capture agents and the use thereof as detection, diagnosis, and treatment agents. The application further provides novel methods of developing stable peptide-based capture agents, including Akt capture agents, using iterative on-bead in situ click chemistry.
T cell receptors recognizing R175H or Y220C mutation in P53
Disclosed are isolated or purified T cell receptors (TCRs) having antigenic specificity for human p53.sup.R175H or human p53.sup.Y220C. Related polypeptides and proteins, as well as related nucleic acids, recombinant expression vectors, host cells, populations of cells, and pharmaceutical compositions are also provided. Also disclosed are methods of detecting the presence of cancer in a mammal and methods of treating or preventing cancer in a mammal.
High affinity monoclonal antibodies targeting glypican-2 and uses thereof
Monoclonal antibodies that bind glypican-2 (GPC2) with high affinity are described. Immunotoxins and chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that include the disclosed antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof are further described. In some instances, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is humanized. The disclosed GPC2-specific antibodies and conjugates can be used, for example, for the diagnosis or treatment of GPC2-positive cancers, including neuroblastoma, medulloblastoma and retinoblastoma.
