CISPLATIN RESISTANCE MARKER FOR OVARIAN TUMOR

摘要

Disclosed is a cisplatin resistance marker for use in the determination of whether an ovarian tumor cell has cisplatin resistance or not. The cisplatin resistance marker comprises a polynucleotide having any one of the nucleotide sequences depicted in SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 11. A detection method utilizing the marker comprises the following steps (1) to (3): (1) binding RNA prepared using a biological sample from a subject or a complementary polynucleotide transcribed from the RNA to the cisplatin resistance marker; (2) measuring the RNA or the complementary polynucleotide bound to the cisplatin resistance marker by employing the cisplatin resistance marker as a measure; and (3) determining whether the ovarian tumor has a resistance against cisplatin or not based on the results of the measurement. The method enables to determine the presence or absence of cisplatin resistance.
