DEFINITION

Classification: 530/387.7

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

(under subclass 387.1) 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 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 a noncancerous cell which, when mutated in a characteristic way, can become an oncogene.
