Novel Markers for the Treatment and Diagnosis of Chronic Lumphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
Technology can be used in the form of a kit for CLL diagnostics.Potential CLL therapy by inhibiting PDE7B, resulting in apoptosis of CLL lymphocytes.
Researchers at UC San Diego have developed a novel technology to diagnose CLL. They have demonstrated an enhanced expression of phosphodiesterase isoform 7B (PDE7B) in lymphocytes of CLL patients. Thus PDE7B can be used as a biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis of CLL.Features of this technology include: PDE7B mRNA and protein levels are increased in CLL patients to up to 70- and 90-fold, respectively.Potential therapeutic agents comprise PDE7B inhibitors, antagonists, and antibodies.

Title: Diagnosis and treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
Usefulness: Diagnosis and treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
Summary: The method and kit are useful for diagnosing CLL. The method and composition are useful for treating CLL.
Novelty: Diagnosing chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) comprises comparing the patient's expression level to the expression level of the isoform of PDE associated with CLL in a normal subject
