Compositions And Methods For The Identification Of Lung Tumor Cells
This invention provides compositions and methods for the identification of lung cancer cells. In particular, polynucleotide sequences whose presence is indicative of lung cancer are disclosed. In addition, lung cancer can be identified by detecting the presence of the peptides encoded by these sequences. Antibodies to these peptides are also provided. Also included are gene delivery vehicles and host cells comprising these polynucleotides. Kits containing agents and instructions necessary to perform the screening and detecting methods are also provided.

Assignee:
Genzyme Corporation - Framingham MA
International Classification:
C12P 2102 C12P 1934 C12N 510 C12N 701
US Classification:
435 691
Abstract:
Vectors and vector systems are embodied that include a gene encoding a tumor suppressor protein. In one embodiment, the vector includes a gene encoding a tumor suppressor protein and an inducible promoter controlling the gene encoding a tumor suppressor protein. The tumor suppressor protein may be p53 protein. In another embodiment, there is provided a vector system which comprises a first vector including a gene encoding a tumor suppressor protein, and a second vector containing a nucleic acid sequence encoding an antisense sequence complementary to all or a portion of the gene encoding a tumor suppressor protein. In yet another embodiment, there is provided a vector system which comprises a first vector including a gene encoding a tumor suppressor protein, and a second vector containing a gene which encodes a protein which binds to, and thereby inhibits, the tumor suppressor protein. Such vectors and vector systems enable cells transformed thereby to continue to proliferate such that adequate amounts of infectious viral particles, generated from viral vectors including a gene encoding a tumor suppressor protein, can be harvested for administration to patients.

Abstract:
This invention provides the CD4-IgG2 chimeric heterotetramer, wherein the heavy chains of the chimeric heterotetramer is encoded by the expression vector designated CD4-IgG2HC-pRcCMV (ATCC No. 75193). This invention also provides the CD4-IgG2 chimeric heterotetramer, wherein the light chains of the chimeric heterotetramer is encoded by the expression vector designated CD4-kLC-pRcCMV (ATCC No. 75194). This invention also provides the CD4-IgG2 chimeric heterotetramer, wherein the heavy chains of the chimeric heterotetramer is encoded by the expression vector designated CD4-IgG2HC-pRcCMV (ATCC No. 75193) and the light chains of the chimeric heterotetramer is encoded by the expression vector designated CD4-kLC-pRcCMV (ATCC No. 75194). Finally, this invention provides a method of inhibiting HIV infection of a CD4+ cell, a method of preventing a subject from being infected with HIV, and a method of treating a subject infected with HIV so as to block the spread of HIV infection, using the above CD-4-IgG2 chimeric heterotetramers.
