Title:
IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL METHODS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005044794
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to immunohistochemical methods to identify biomarkers. This invention relates to the use of phospho-ERK (pERK) levels in tumor cells as a biomarker for a Raf kinase inhibitor. The invention also provides methods and compositions for diagnostic assays for detecting cancer.
