Rabbit Anti-Human PTK2 Polyclonal Antibody

Ketimines (K1, K2) and aldimines (A1, A2, and A3) were prepared from unsubstituted acetophenone and/or benzaldehyde and primary amines (i-PrNH2, i-BuNH2 and t-BuNH2). These imines were reacted with Zeise's salt (potassium ethenetrichloroplatinate(II)) to produce the respective complexes, namely. PtK1, PtK2, PtA1, PtA2, and PtA3. H-1, C-13, and Pt-195-chemical shifts of the ligands and their complexes were studied to investigate the nature and mode of isomerization around C=N bond. The aldimines and their complexes were obtained as a single isomer. On the other hand, the ketimines and their complexes were obtained as a mixture of E/Z-isomers. It was found that the aldimine- and ketimine-platinum complexes undergo slow E/Z-isomerization in solution as evidenced from NMR spectra. (C) 2010 King Saud University. All rights reserved.

Primary serous ovarian carcinoma (OVCA) and serous Fallopian tube carcinoma (FTC), both belonging to the BRCA-linked tumour spectrum, share many properties and are treated similarly. However, a detailed molecular comparison has been lacking. We hypothesized that comparative genomic studies of serous OVCAs and FTCs should point to gene regions critically involved in their tumorigenesis. Array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) analysis indicated that serous OVCAs and serous FTCs displayed common but also more distinctive patterns of recurrent changes. Targeted gene identification using a dedicated multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) probe set directly identified EIF2C2 on 8q as a potentially important driver gene. Other previously unappreciated gained/amplified genes included PSMB4 on 1q, MTSS1 on 8q, TEAD4 and TSPAN9 on 12p, and BCAS4 on 20q. SPINT2 and ACTN4 on 19q were predominantly found in FTCs. Gains/amplifications of CCNE1 and MYC, often in conjunction with changes in genes of the AKT pathway, EVI1 and PTK2, seemed to be involved at earlier stages, whereas changes of ERBB2 were associated with advanced stages. The only. BRCA1-mutated FTC shared common denominators with the sporadic tumours. In conclusion, the data suggest that serous OVCAs and FTCs, although related, exhibit differences in genomic profiles. In addition to known pathways, new genes/pathways are likely to be involved, with changes in an miRNA-associated gene, EIF2C2, as one important new feature. Dedicated MLPA sets constitute potentially important tools for differential diagnosis and may provide footholds for tailored therapy.
