Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of diagnosing B-CLL in a subject in need thereof is provided. The method comprising determining in a biological sample of the subject a level of CD84 isoform C (SEQ ID NO: 30), wherein an increase in the level of the CD84 isoform C (SEQ ID NO: 30) beyond a predetermined threshold with respect to a level of the CD84 in a biological sample from a healthy individual is indicative of the B-CLL.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of inducing apoptosis in B cells of a subject having B-CLL, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an agent which downregulates an expression level and/or an activity of CD84, wherein said agent is selected from the group consisting of: (i) a CD84 neutralizing antibody; and (ii) a soluble CD84, wherein said soluble CD84 binds CD84 expressed on B cells and inhibits its homophilic interaction, th…
