MOLECULES FOR DISEASE DETECTION AND TREATMENT

摘要

The present invention provides purified disease detection and treatment molecule polynucleotides (mddt). Also encompassed are the polypeptides (MDDT ) encoded by mddt. The invention also provides for the use of mddt, or complements, oligonucleotides, or fragments thereof in diagnostic assays. Th e invention further provides for vectors and host cells containing mddt for th e expression of MDDT. The invention additionally provides for the use of isolated and purified MDDT to induce antibodies and to screen libraries of compounds and the use of anti-MDDT antibodies in diagnostic assays. Also provided are microarrays containing mddt and methods of use.
