Abstract
The present invention provides a method for diagnosing and detecting diseases associated with pancreas. The present invention provides one or more proteins or fragments thereof, peptides or nucleic acid molecules differentially expressed in pancreatic diseases (PCAT) and antibodies binds to PCAT. The present invention provides that PCAT is used as targets for screening agents that modulates the PCAT activities. Further, the present invention provides methods for treating diseases associated with pancreas.
Claims20
An isolated protein comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS:1-288 and 703-873.
An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of:
- a) SEQ ID NOS:289-702;
- b) nucleotide sequences that encode a protein comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS:1-288 and 703-873;
- and
- c) nucleotide sequences that are completely complementary to the nucleotide sequences of a) or b).
A method of diagnosing, prognosing, or determining risk of pancreatic cancer in a subject, the method comprising detecting at least one molecule in a sample, wherein the presence or abundance of the molecule is indicative of pancreatic cancer, and wherein the molecule is selected from the group consisting of:
- a) proteins comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS:1-288 and 703-873;
- b) antibodies that selectively bind to the protein of a);
- c) nucleic acid molecules comprising a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS:289-702 and nucleotide sequences that encode the protein of a);
- and
- d) nucleic acid molecules comprising a nucleotide sequence that is completely complementary to the nucleic acid molecule of c).
