Title:
METHODS OF CHARACTERISING CANCER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/203053
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention concerns the use of immunoassays for the characterisation, diagnosis, screening and monitoring of cancer and other diseases. In particular said immunoassays involve the use of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies against different regions in tissue factor, particularly urinary tissue factor, and methods for generating the same. Preferably said antibodies are specific for the tissue factor signal transduction peptide region (anti-TF-STP antibodies). In particular, the present invention relates to antibodies and the use thereof which are specific for phosphorylated isoforms of TF-STP. The invention further concerns use of these anti-TF-STP antibodies to quantitate TF-STP isoformsin biological fluids, in particular urine. Also described herein is the use ofsaid antibodies in immunoassays for the characterisation, diagnosis, screening and monitoring of cancer and other diseases, specificpolyclonal and monoclonal antibodies against different regions in tissue factor, and methods for generating the same.
