Tropomyosin Isoforms, And Diagnostic And Therapeutic Uses Therefor

US Patent:
7285630, Oct 23, 2007
Filed:
Jul 22, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/201501
Inventors:
Kiron M. Das - Basking Ridge NJ, US
Jim Jung-Chin Lin - Iowa City IA, US
Assignee:
University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey - New Brunswick NJ
University of Iowa Research Foundation - Iowa City IA
International Classification:
C07K 14/00
US Classification:
530350, 530326, 4241851, 435 71
Abstract:
A novel isoform of tropomyosin is disclosed. The isoform is closely related to epithelial human tropomyosin (hTM) and more particularly to hTM5 except the last coding exon. The novel isoform, is called TC22. Northern blot analysis with TC22-specific probe revealed that normal culture cell lines and normal epithelial tissues expressed very little, if at all, TC22 message, whereas their transformed counterparts and tumor tissues including dysfunction of the alimentary canal, significantly increased the expression of TC22. Assays directed at determining the level of TC22 are useful in diagnostics and therapeutics of dysfunction of the alimentary canal. Specific antibodies and mimics for TC22 are also disclosed for use in diagnostics and therapeutics of dysfunction of the alimentary canal.

Treatment Of Ulcerative Colitis With Tropomyosin Isoforms And Monoclonal Antibodies To Tropomyosin Isoforms

US Patent:
7264807, Sep 4, 2007
Filed:
May 1, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/427196
Inventors:
Kiron M. Das - Basking Ridge NJ, US
Assignee:
University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey - New Brunswick NJ
International Classification:
A61K 39/395
US Classification:
4241521, 4241391, 4241561, 5303881, 5303879
Abstract:
This invention pertains to a method for treating ulcerative colitis. Specifically, the method comprises orally or rectally administering to a human having ulcerative colitis a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody which binds to a tropomyosin isoform associated with ulcerative colitis. In another embodiment, the invention pertains to a method for treating ulcerative colitis in a human which comprises the steps of (a) obtaining from a human a colon epithelial cell extract containing a tropomyosin isoform associated with ulcerative colitis; (b) purifying the tropomyosin isoform until the tropomyosin isoform is substantially homogeneous; (c) developing an antibody which binds to the tropomyosin isoform; and (d) orally or rectally administering to a human having ulcerative colitis a therapeutically effective amount of the antibody to bind to the tropomyosin isoform associated with ulcerative colitis. In yet another embodiment, the invention pertains to a method for treating ulcerative colitis in a human which comprises orally administering to the human a therapeutically effective amount of a tropomyosin isoform associated with ulcerative colitis.
