Title:
METHOD FOR PREDICTING PROGRESSION OF PRE-CANCEROUS LESION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/119132
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a novel means for predicting whether or not a pre-cancerous lesion of cancer such as uterine cervical cancer would be exacerbated in future. A method for predicting the progression of a pre-cancerous lesion according to the present invention comprises determining the expression of aPKCλ/τ protein in a sample separated from a subject. It is predicted that the possibility of the exacerbation of the pre-cancerous lesion is high or the possibility of the amelioration of the pre-cancerous lesion is low when the expression amount of aPKCλ/τ protein is high and/or when aPKCλ/τ protein is localized in the nucleus. It is preferred that the analysis of the expression of aPKCλ/τ protein is performed by immunostaining using an anti-aPKCλ/τ antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof.
