| titleOfInvention | Method of diagnosing or prognosing epithelial ovarian cancer |
| abstract | The present invention provides a binding moiety which selectively binds to Sox11 protein and/or mRNA for imaging, diagnosis or prognosis of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Optionally, the moiety is an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. Advantageously, moiety comprises a further, readily detectable moiety. The invention also provides methods of imaging EOC cells as well as methods of diagnosing or prognosing EOC in an individual. A further aspect of the present invention provides a method of identifying cells associated with EOC, the method comprising analysing the pattern of gene expression in a sample of cells to be tested and comparing it to the pattern of gene expression in a sample of known lymphomas cells. Preferably, the cells to be tested are identified as EOC cells if the expression of Sox11 is up-regulated compared to normal B-cells. Preferably EOC cells are identified as improved recurrence-free survival-associated if expression of Sox11 is up-regulated compared with non-cancerous epithelial ovarian cells. Preferably, EOC cells are identified as diminished recurrence-free survival-associated if expression of Sox11 is similar to, or down-regulated, compared with non-cancerous epithelial ovarian cells. |
