An isolated nucleic acid molecule is selected from the group consisting of: vi. a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence which is at least 85% identical to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or a complement thereof; vii. a nucleic acid molecule comprising a fragment of at least 1500 consecutive nucleotides of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, or a complement thereof; viii. a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence at least 85% identical to SEQ ID NO: 2; ix. a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a fragment of a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein the fragment comprises at least 500 contiguous amino acids of SEQ ID NO: 2; and x. a nucleic acid molecule encoding a polypeptide containing a humanized immunoglobulin or parts of an immunoglubulin having binding specificity for CD133 a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a variant of a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein the nucleic acid molecule hybridizes to a nucleic acid molecule comprising the entire SEQ ID NO: 1, or complement thereof under conditions of incubation at 45°C in 6.0×SSC followed by washing in 0.2×SSC/0.1% SDS at 65°C. |
