Abstract:
The present invention demonstrates that the diagnosis and prediction of clinical behavior in patients with hematologic malignancies, such as leukemia, can be accomplished by analysis of proteins present in a plasma sample. Thus, in particular embodiments the present invention uses plasma to create a diagnostic or prognostic protein profile of a hematologic malignancy comprising collecting plasma samples from a population of patients with hematologic malignancies; generating protein spectra from the plasma samples with or without fractionation; comparing the protein spectra with clinical data; and identifying protein markers in the plasma samples that correlate with the clinical data. Protein markers identified by this approach can then be used to create a protein profile that can be used to diagnose the hematologic malignancy or determine the prognosis of the hematologic malignancy. Potentially these specific proteins can be identified and targeted in the therapy of these malignancies.

Quantification Of Fusion Proteins And Their Activity From Chromosomal Translocation

View page
US Patent:
8124351, Feb 28, 2012
Filed:
Nov 14, 2006
Appl. No.:
12/094112
Inventors:
Maher Albitar - Coto de Caza CA, US
Hagop Kantarjian - Bellaire TX, US
Francis Giles - Bellaire TX, US
Iman Jilani - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Board of Regents, The University of Texas System - Austin TX
Quest Diagnostics Incorporated - San Clemente CA
International Classification:
G01N 33/53
US Classification:
435 71
Abstract:
The present invention concerns the detection of gene products resulting from chromosomal translocations, including fusion proteins comprising a first and second region. In particular, the fusion proteins are identified following subjecting a sample comprising the proteins to a bead comprising an antibody to a first region, followed by subjecting the bead-antibody-fusion complex to a second antibody directed against the second region, thereby detecting the fusion protein. In particular aspects, the invention is employed to provide prognosis for an individual with cancer, to identify suitability for a particular cancer therapy, and/or to monitor response of a patient to a therapy, for example.

US Patent:
8426133, Apr 23, 2013
Filed:
May 24, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/786266
Inventors:
Heather R. Sanders - Winchester CA, US
Maher Albitar - Coto De Caza CA, US
Aurelia Meloni-Ehrig - Gainesville VA, US
Assignee:
Quest Diagnostics Investments Incorporated - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
C12Q 1/68
C12P 19/34
US Classification:
435 612, 435 912
Abstract:
Described herein are methods, compositions and kits directed to the detection of gene dysregulations such as those arising from gene fusions and/or chromosomal abnormalities, e. g. translocations, insertions, inversions and deletions. Samples containing dysregulated gene(s) of interest may show independent expression patterns for the 5′ and 3′ regions of the gene. The methods, compositions and kits are useful for detecting mutations that cause the differential expression of a 5′ portion of a target gene relative to the 3′ region of the target gene.
