Abstract

See full text

Methods that identify cells as pancreatic cancer cells based on assessing the expression of combinations of target molecules expressed preferentially on pancreatic cancer cells are disclosed. Combinations were initially discovered by microarray analysis and selected based upon tumor specificity, relative lack of cross-reactivity with normal tissues, and applicability as targets of multispecific ligands. The claimed methods encompass measuring the expression of three or more specific target molecules in combination and correlating positive expression of the combination with an identification of the cell as a pancreatic cancer cell.
