CA 2491420

It is intended to search for and provide a novel gene participating in multiple tolerance in cancer and its protein. It is also intended to clarify the functions of the gene and the protein and to provide a method of examining the gene and an antibody against the protein. It is further intended to provide a method of examining and diagnosing cancer by using the above gene and antibody. Thus, a novel protein (RB1CC1) or a polypeptide, which occurs in the nucleus of a human or animal cell and has a transcriptional function and/or a function of inducing the expression of retinoblastoma-1 gene (RB1 gene) or its gene product, and its gene are found out. Then the amino acid sequence and the cDNA sequence thereof are determined and the gene is amplified and detected with the use of primers hybridizable with the novel gene. Thus, the expression, mutation, etc. of the novel gene are examined and the relationship thereof with the proliferation of cancer cells is found out, thereby examining cancer. An antibody against the novel protein is prepared and the novel protein is detected by using the antibody. Thus, the relationship between the novel protein and the proliferation of cancer cells is found out, thereby examining cancer.

L'invention concerne un nouveau gène associé au cancer et la protéine correspondante. L'invention vise à clarifier les fonctions du gène et de la protéine, et à mettre en oeuvre un procédé d'examen du gène et un anticorps contre la protéine. L'invention vise par ailleurs à mettre en oeuvre un procédé d'examen et de diagnostic du cancer au moyen desdits gène et anticorps. L'invention concerne en particulier une nouvelle protéine (RB1CC) ou un polypeptide, présente dans le noyau d'une cellule humaine ou animale, et présentant une fonction de transcription et/ou d'induction de l'expression du gène rétinoblastome-1 (gène RB1) ou de ses produits génétiques. Selon l'invention, la séquence d'acides aminés et la séquence de cADN correspondante sont déterminées et le gène est amplifié et détecté à l'aide d'amorces pouvants être hybridées avec ledit gène. Ensuite, l'expression, la mutation etc. dudit gène sont examinées et leur relation avec la prolifération de cellules cancéreuses est déterminée. Un anticorps contre la nouvelle protéine est alors préparé et la nouvelle protéine est détectée au moyen de l'anticorps, la relation entre ladite protéine et la prolifération de cellules cancéreuses étant alors déterminée.
