Abstract
The present invention provides novel polynucleotides and proteins encoded by such polynucleotides, along with therapeutic, diagnostic and research utilities for these polynucleotides and proteins. In particular, the polypeptides of the invention is useful for detecting cancers.
Claims16
A method of detecting a cancerous cell expressing the polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO:
- 23 in a biological sample, comprising
- a). contacting the sample with a labeled polynucleotide complementary to said polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO:
- 23 or a fragment thereof for a period sufficient to form a complex;
- b). detecting the complex, so that if a complex is detected it indicates the expression of polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO:
- 23 in the cancerous cell, and
- c). comparing said expression to a standard indicative of cancer.
