Oct 29, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/182145
Inventors:
David A. Botstein - Belmont CA
Robert L. Cohen - San Mateo CA
Audrey D. Goddard - San Francisco CA
Austin L. Gurney - Belmont CA
Kenneth J. Hillan - San Francisco CA
David A. Lawrence - San Francisco CA
Arnold J. Levine - New York NY
Diane Pennica - Burlingame CA
Margaret Ann Roy - San Francisco CA
William I. Wood - Hillsborough CA
Assignee:
Genentech, Inc. - South San Francisco CA
International Classification:
C12N 1512
US Classification:
435 691, 435 694, 435325, 435358, 435243, 43525233, 4352551, 4353201, 536 231, 536 235, 536 2351
Abstract:
Wnt-1-Induced Secreted Proteins (WISPs) are provided, whose genes are induced at least by Wnt-1. Also provided are nucleic acid molecules encoding those polypeptides, as well as vectors and host cells comprising those nucleic acid sequences, chimeric polypeptide molecules comprising the polypeptides fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences, antibodies which bind to the polypeptides, and methods for producing the polypeptides.

Cardiotrophin-1 Defective Mouse

View page
US Patent:
6472585, Oct 29, 2002
Filed:
Aug 25, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/648183
Inventors:
David Botstein - Belmont CA
Audrey Goddard - San Francisco CA
David A. Lawrence - San Francisco CA
Diane Pennica - Burlingame CA
Margaret Ann Roy - San Francisco CA
William I. Wood - Hillsborough CA
Assignee:
Genentech, Inc. - South San Francisco CA
International Classification:
A01K 67027
US Classification:
800 18, 800 21, 800 3
Abstract:
The invention concerns composititions and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic cell growth and proliferation in mammals, including humans. The invention is based on the identification of cardiotrophin-1 gene amplified in the genome of tumor cells. Such gene amplification is expected to be associated with the overexpression of the gene product and contribute to tumorigenesis. Accordingly, the cardiotrophin-1 polypeptide encoded by the amplified gene is believed to be a useful target for the diagnosis and/or treatment (including prevention) of certain cancers, and may act as a predictor of the prognosis of tumor treatment.

Guanylate-Binding Protein

US Patent:
6642024, Nov 4, 2003
Filed:
Aug 17, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/643657
Inventors:
Diane Pennica - Burlingame CA
Assignee:
Genentech Inc. - South San Francisco CA
International Classification:
C12P 2106
US Classification:
435 691, 4353201, 4352523, 435325, 536 231, 530350
Abstract:
A member of the guanylate-binding protein family, designated GBP-4, is provided. Also provided are isolated nucleic acid encoding GBP-4, vectors and host cells containing such nucleic acid molecule, and a method for producing the GBP-4 recombinantly.

Wnt-Regulated Cytokine-Like Polypeptide And Nucleic Acids Encoding Same

View page

7005499, Feb 28, 2006
Filed:
Nov 16, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/715418
Inventors:
David A. Lewin - New Haven CT, US
Diane Pennica - Burlingame CA, US
Luca Rastelli - Guilford CT, US
Bruce Taillon - Middletown CT, US
Assignee:
Genentech, Inc. - South San Francisico CA
Curagen Corporation - New Haven CT
International Classification:
C07K 14/47
US Classification:
530350
Abstract:
The present invention provides novel polypeptides, termed FCTRX polypeptides, as well as polynucleotides encoding FCTRX polypeptides and antibodies that immunospecifically bind to an FCTRX or a derivative, variant, mutant, or fragment of an FCTRX polypeptide, polynucleotide or antibody. The invention additionally provides methods in which the FCTRX polypeptide, polynucleotide and antibody are used in detection and treatment of a broad range of pathological states, as well as to other uses.
