A number of selected genes /
gene products; Application of selected genes /
gene products at mRNA or
protein levels either singly or in combination; Application of selected genes /
gene products at mRNA levels by any of the methods such as: Northern blotting, or reverse transcription and conventional PCR, or reverse transcription and quantitative real-time PCR or
gene expression micro-arrays; Application of selected genes / gene products at
protein levels by either Western Blotting, or
immunohistochemistry, or ELISA or functional assays or gel electrophoretic separation followed by spectroscopic identification (proteamics); Application of selected genes / gene products at
peptide levels derived from proteins and spectroscopic methods of identification; Detection of a hyperproliferative condition, a
precancerous condition, a predisposition to develop hyperproliferative condition or
cancer by applying any one of the selected genes either singly or in combination in
breast tissue,
breast fluid, breast cells, blood or any other tissues or cells of a
mammal; Application of selected genes either singly or in combination with others for designing molecular therapeutic drugs to treat a hyperproliferative condition, a
precancerous condition, or predisposition to develop hyperproliferative condition or
cancer of the breast or any other tissue of a
mammal; Application of selected genes either singly or in combination with others for following up of a
therapeutic treatment to a hyperproliferative condition, or
precancerous condition, or predisposition to a hyperproliferative condition, or
cancer, of the breast or any other tissue of a
mammal; Application of selected genes either singly or in combination with others for screening of therapeutic drugs to a hyperproliferative condition, or precancerous condition, or predisposition to a hyperproliferative condition, or cancer, of the breast or any other tissue of a mammal; and Application of selected genes either singly or in combination with others for designing vaccines to prevent a hyperproliferative condition, or precancerous condition, or predisposition to a hyperproliferative condition, or cancer, of the breast or any other tissue of a mammal.
