Materials And Methods For Treating And Preventing Her-2/Neu Overexpressing, Fas-Elevated Cancer Cells

View page
US Patent:
20070207975, Sep 6, 2007
Filed:
Jan 9, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/651803
Inventors:
Javier Menendez - Evanston IL, US
Ruth Lupu - Highland Park IL, US
Assignee:
EVANSTON NORTHWESTERN HEALTHCARE - Evanston IL
International Classification:
A61K 48/00
A61K 31/202
US Classification:
514044000, 514560000
Abstract:
The invention provides methods for treating cancer cells overexpressing Her-2/neu, the product of the erbB-2 gene, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an unsaturated fatty acid. The cancer cells amenable to treatment exhibit relatively elevated activity levels of fatty acid synthase. Exemplary fatty acids useful in the methods of the invention include ω-9 monounsaturated fatty acids (e.g., oleic acid), ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (e.g., γ-linolenic acid) and ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (e.g., α-linolenic acid). The invention also provides methods of preventing cancer comprising administering a prophylactically effective amount of a fatty acid and kits for preventing and/or treating cancer comprising a fatty acid and a conventional anti-cancer therapeutic.

Ligand Growth Factor Gp30 That Binds To The Erbb-2 Receptor Protein And Induces Cellular Responses

View page
US Patent:
60402903, Mar 21, 2000
Filed:
Aug 26, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/703089
Inventors:
Marc E. Lippman - Bethesda MD
Ruth Lupu - Gaithersburg MD
Assignee:
Georgetown University - Washington DC
International Classification:
C07K 14475
C07K 1702
A61K 3818
US Classification:
514 12
Abstract:
The present invention relates to erbB-2 ligands and functional derivatives thereof which are capable of binding to the erbB-2 oncogene product. The present invention further pertains to anti-ligand molecules capable of recognizing and binding to the erbB-2 ligand molecule and to screening assays for such ligands. The present invention additionally relates to uses for the erbB-2 ligand, the anti-ligand molecules and the screening assays. The present invention also pertains to a method for inhibiting the growth of adenocarcinoma cells.

Ligand Growth Factors That Bind To The Erbb-2 Receptor Protein And Induce Cellular Responses

US Patent:
55784828, Nov 26, 1996
Filed:
Jul 26, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/096277
Inventors:
Marc E. Lippman - Bethesda MD
Ruth Lupu - Gaithersburg MD
Assignee:
Georgetown University - Washington DC
International Classification:
C12N 138
C12N 526
US Classification:
4352401
Abstract:
The present invention relates to erbB-2 ligands and functional derivatives thereof which are capable of binding to the erbB-2 oncogene product. The present invention further pertains to anti-ligand molecules capable of recognizing and binding to the erbB-2 ligand molecule and to screening assays for such ligands. The present invention additionally relates to uses for the erbB-2 ligand, the anti-ligand molecules and the screening assays. A method for inhibiting the growth of adenocarcinoma cells in a human, which cells overexpress the oncogene erbB-2, which entails administering to said human an amount of a 30 kDa glycoprotein effective to inhibit the growth of said cells.

Binding Peptides Which Interact With Ligand Growth Factors Of The Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor And Erbb-2 Receptor

View page
US Patent:
58745289, Feb 23, 1999
Filed:
Oct 27, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/117187
Inventors:
Ruth Lupu - Gaithersburg MD
Marc E. Lippman - Bethesda MD
Assignee:
Georgetown University - Washington DC
International Classification:
C07K 752
C07K 700
US Classification:
530317
Abstract:
The present invention relates to blocking peptides which are capable of binding to ligands for the erbB-2 receptor or the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). The blocking peptides of the invention are used to detect the presence of such ligand molecules. In addition, the blocking peptides are useful in inhibiting or preventing the growth of adenocarcinoma cells which express the erbB-2 receptor or the EGFR.
