Zusammenfassung

Genchips erlauben die Analyse des mehr oder weniger kompletten Genexpressionsprofils von Tumorzellen und normalen Geweben in einem einzigen Experiment. Drei Hauptmotive rufen unser Interesse an der Genchipanalyse wach: (i) Die Genchiptechnologie bietet eine neue diagnostische Zusatzuntersuchung. (ii) Wir erhoffen uns, mehr über die Biologie der Tumorzelle zu erfahren. (iii) Wir hoffen mit Hilfe dieser Technologie neue therapeutische Zielstrukturen zu finden. Ein Hauptziel dieser Studien ist die Identifikation geeigneter Antigene für immunologische Therapieansätze.

Summary

Genechips allow the analysis of the more or less complete gene expression profile of tumour cells and normal tissues in a single experiment. We are interested in genechip analysis for three reasons: (i) Genechips offer a new diagnostic tool. (ii) We hope that we learn more about the biology of tumour cells. (iii) We hope that we can identify new therapeutic targets. A major goal of these studies is the identification of suitable antigens for immunotherapeutical strategies.
