Identification of protein associated with hepatocellular carcinoma, gliobastoma and lung cancer
View Patent ↗The present invention provides methods and compositions for screening, diagnosis and prognosis of HCC, glioblastoma and lung cancer, for monitoring the effectiveness of HCC, glioblastoma and lung cancer treatment, and for drug development.
1. A method of treating small cell lung cancer expressing at the cell surface an OGTA025 polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 2 in a subject, said method comprising administering to a subject having said small cell lung cancer an effective amount of a conjugated affinity reagent comprising an antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof that specifically binds to said polypeptide, which is conjugated to a therapeutic moiety that is toxic to said cancer.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the antibody is a monoclonal antibody or a fragment of the monoclonal antibody.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the therapeutic moiety is a cytotoxic agent.
4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the cytotoxic agent is abrin, ricin A, pseudomonas exotoxin, or diphtheria toxin.
