NUCLEIC ACID AND CORRESPONDING PROTEIN NAMED 158P1D7 USEFUL IN TREATMENT AND DETECTION OF BLADDER CANCER AND OTHER CANCERS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel gene (designated 158P1D7) and its encoded protein.SOLUTION: While 158P1D7 exhibits tissue specific expression in normal adult tissue, it is aberrantly expressed in multiple cancers shown in Table 1. Consequently, 158P1D7 provides a diagnostic and/or therapeutic target for cancers. The 158P1D7 gene or a fragment thereof, or its encoded protein or a fragment thereof, can be used to elicit an immune response.
