CANCER-LINKED GENES AS TARGETS FOR CHEMOTHERAPY

摘要

Cancer-linked gene sequences, and derived amino acid sequences, are disclosed along with processes for assaying potential antitumor agents based on their modulation of the expression of these cancer-linked genes. Also disclosed are antibodies that react with the disclosed polypeptides and methods of using the antibodies to treat cancerous conditions, such as by using the antibody to target cancerous cells in vivo for purposes of delivering therapeutic agents thereto. Also described are methods of diagnosing using the gene sequences as well as the polypeptide sequences, especially for diagnosing prostate cancer.
