Disclosed is a synthetic T cell receptor (TCR) having antigenic specificity for an HLA-A2-restricted epitope of human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 E7, E7.sub.11-19. Related polypeptides and proteins, as well as related nucleic acids, recombinant expression vectors, host cells, and populations of cells are also provided. Antibodies, or an antigen binding portion thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions relating to the TCRs of the invention are also provided. Also disclosed are methods of detecting the presence of a condition in a mammal and methods of treating or preventing a condition in a mammal, wherein the condition is cancer, HPV 16 infection, or HPV-positive premalignancy.

The present disclosure is directed to binding proteins to the extracellular domain (ECD) of HER2/ErbB2. More particularly, the binding proteins bind to a conformational epitope which is exposed in cells in response to HER2 amplification or activation.

Provided are an HER3 binding protein and use thereof. Specifically, provided are an anti-HER3 antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, nucleic acid molecules encoding same, and a method for preparing same. The anti-HER3 antibody or the antigen-binding fragment thereof has high specificity and high affinity for HER3 and does not bind to EGFR, HER2, and HER4 of the same family. Further provided is use of the antibody or the antigen-binding fragment thereof in the treatment and diagnosis of disease.

This invention provides a stool specimen test device comprising: a suction port of a sample comprising a stool suspension; a sampling verification section that detect a specimen without the collected stool sample based on the absorbance of the stool suspension measured at the first wavelength; and a sample measurement section that performs measurement based on the absorbance measured at the second wavelength. This invention can improve the test accuracy by detecting a specimen without the collected stool sample in the stool specimen test.

The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.

A pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound that targets and/or binds to a binding pocket at interface between the D1 and D2 domains of an intracellular portion or fragment of the receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase (RPTP) IIb cell adhesion molecules (e.g., PTP) and that is capable of inhibiting RPTP mediated adhesion of cells and/or cancer cell growth and/or sphere formation.

A method of detection of one or more antigens using a cocktail of one or more primary and secondary antibodies in a single step using a non-conventional Western blot protocol. Various antibody cocktails that can be used in the immunodetection methods.

The present invention discloses that cancer cells secrete succinate into extracellular milieu, which increases macrophage migration and mediates TAM polarization. Furthermore, succinate induces cancer cell EMT, enhances cancer cell migration, and promotes cancer metastasis in murine models. It is indicated in the present invention that serum succinate concentration is elevated in patients with lung cancer when compared to healthy subjects. It implies that during cancer development and progression, cancer cells release a large quantity of succinate into the circulation. As shown in the present invention, serum succinate has a high discriminatory power, it represents a new class of circulating oncometabolite with potential value for predicting NSCLC. Furthermore, as elevation of succinate level in LLC tumor model is accompanied by increased TAMs in the subcutaneous tumors and enhanced cancer metastasis, serum succinate may be a useful therapeutic biomarker for NSCLC treatment. The present invention also provides an anti-succinate antibody that can serve as a cancer therapeutic agent.

The present invention relates to an assay for detecting secreted proteome acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC), and more specifically to its use in evaluating lung cancer.
