COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF DETECTING TIABS

摘要

The present invention relates to novel methods and products for assessing the physiological status of a subject. More particularly, the invention relates to methods of assessing the presence, risk or stage of a cancer in a subject by measuring the levels of antibodies against particular aberrant protein domains in a sample from the subject, or the presence or number of immune cells bearing TCR specific for such aberrant protein domains. The invention is also suitable to assess the responsiveness of a subject to a treatment, as well as to screen candidate drugs and design novel therapies. The invention may be used in any mammalian subject, particularly in human subjects.
