The present invention is directed to methods for establishing a composite marker profile for a sample derived from an individual suspected having a neoplastic condition. A composite marker profile of the invention allows for identification of prognostically and therapeutically relevant subgroups of neoplastic conditions and prediction of the clinical course of an individual. The methods of the invention provide tools useful in choosing a therapy for an individual afflicted with a neoplastic condition, including methods for assigning a risk group, methods of predicting an increased risk of relapse, methods of predicting an increased risk of developing secondary complications, methods of choosing a therapy for an individual, methods of determining the efficacy of a therapy in an individual, and methods of determining the prognosis for an individual. In particular, the method of the present invention discloses a method for establishing a composite marker profile that can serve as a prognostic indicator to predict whether the course of a neoplastic condition in a individual will be aggressive or indolent, thereby aiding the clinician in managing the patient and evaluating the modality of treatment to be used. In particular embodiments disclosed herein, the methods of the invention are directed to establishing a composite marker profile for a leukemia selected from the group consisting of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML), Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML), and Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL).

Provided are methods for clinical treatment of hematological malignancies, such as relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia or lymphoma using an anti-LAG-3 antibody. Particular malignancies include, e.g., chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).

The present invention provides Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin Receptor (TSLPR) polypeptides and nucleic acid molecules encoding the same. The invention also provides selective binding agents, vectors, host cells, and methods for producing TSLPR polypeptides. The invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions and methods for the diagnosis, treatment, amelioration, and / or prevention of diseases, disorders, and conditions associated with TSLPR polypeptides.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an immunodeficient animal capable of generating human-derived lymphoid cells, a human-derived lymphoid cell, and a method for producing a human antigen-specific antibody.The means for solving the aforementioned object is: an immature immunodeficient mammal into which human-derived hematopoietic precursor cells have been transplanted, and which is able to generate said human-derived hematopoietic cells or immunocompetent cells; and a method for producing a human-derived antibody, which is characterized in that it comprises recovering immunocompetent cells from the above-described mammal, culturing the immunocompetent cells, and collecting a human-derived antibody from the obtained culture product.

The invention belongs to the field of microbial animal cell lines, and relates to a new human acute B lymphocytic leukemia cell strain CHH-1. The in vitro isolate of the mononuclear cell of the marrow of a patient with firstly-diagnosed acute B lymphocytic leukemia undergoes cell primary culture to obtain the highly aggressive human acute B lymphocytic leukemia cell strain with add(11)(q23) chromosome abnormality, the preservation number of the cell strain is CGMCC No.11797, and the highly aggressive human acute B lymphocytic leukemia cell strain with add(11)(q23) chromosome abnormality is named as human acute B lymphocytic leukemia cell strain CHH-1, has a same clone source with patient's leukemia cells, can be infinitely and stably passed in vitro, and has the characteristics of clonality add(11)(q23) genetic abnormality, high tumorigenicity and high aggressiveness. The new human acute B lymphocytic leukemia cell strain CHH-1 provides a new good cell model for researches of human acute lymphocytic leukemia with No.11 chromosome long arm structure abnormality and development of biomedicines, and has wide prospect and great practical values in revelation of the pathogenesis of the human acute lymphocytic leukemia and development of medicines.

The invention provides methods for determining the prognosis of a patient diagnosed with a leukemia, including B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, by measuring mutations of the WT1 gene in a biological sample. The invention also relates to the diagnosis of leukemia, including B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

The invention relates to antibodies that are reactive to the cell surface of CD19+ B cells, including B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cells, and compositions and methods for using such antibodies, including in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders associated with CD19+ B cells, such as B-CLL.

C-glycoside compounds having the general formula (I): are useful for protecting and / or stimulating the activity and / or the proliferation of gamma-delta T lymphocyte cells (γδT cells), and are advantageously formulated into cosmetic / pharmaceutical compositions suited for promoting skin tissue repair, for re-equilibrating epidermal proliferation and differentiation disorders which appear with lack of sleep, and for improving the appearance of the head of hair and limiting hair loss.

The present invention provides a human antibody or an active-fragment thereof that specifically binds to human platelet membrane glycoprotein VI and does not induce a human platelet aggregation independently; a cell that produces the antibody or its active-fragment; a pharmaceutical composition that comprises the antibody or its active-fragment as an active ingredient, and so on. The above-mentioned cell can be obtained for example, as follows: a peripheral-blood-lymphocyte of the human that produces an autologous antibody to GPVI is activated by in vitro immunization under specific conditions; a hybridoma with mouse myeloma cell is prepared; and then the hybridoma that produces a monoclonal antibody, which has a binding capacity to GPVI and has an activity that suppresses collagen-mediated agglutinability of the human platelet is selected.
