DEFINITION

Classification: 424/138.1

Binds expression product or fragment thereof of cancer-related gene (e.g., oncogene, proto-oncogene, etc.):

(under subclass 130.1) Subject matter involving an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof whose antigen-binding site(s) will combine with an expression product or fragment thereof of a cancer-related gene, such as an oncogene or a proto-oncogene.

(1) Note. An oncogene is a genetic sequence whose expression transforms a normal cell into a cancerous cell. A proto-oncogene is a genetic sequence found in non-cancerous cells which, when mutated or otherwise activated in a characteristic way, can become an oncogene.
