GENE EXPRESSION IN BIOLOGICAL CONDITIONS

摘要

The invention concerns a method of determining the presence or absence of a biological condition in humans, in particular of colon cancer, and of determining the stage of a condition in human tissue by determining an expression pattern of a cell sample. Further, the invention relates to a method of determining the presence or absence of a biological condition in human tissue, and of determining the stage of a biological condition in huma n tissue, and also for reducing biological abnormalities of a cell suffering from the biological condition. A method for producing antibodies against an expression product of a cell from the tissue is also described. The inventio n also discloses a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of a biologica l condition comprising at least one antibody, and a vaccine for the prophylaxi s or treatment of a biological condition. Further the invention describes the use of a method for producing an assay for diagnosing a biological condition in human tissue, the use of a peptide or a gene or a probe for the preparati on of a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of a biological condition in human tissue, and an assay for determining the presence or absence of biological condition in human tissue and for determining an expression patte rn of a cell.
