Novel genes and expression products therefrom

摘要

The present invention relates generally to the identification of the products of gene expression in cancerous tissue or other tissue associated with an aberrant medical condition. Identification of such expression products enables the development of a range of diagnostic and therapeutic agents. In one embodiment of the present invention, a gene is differentially or preferentially expressed in cancerous tissue relative to normal tissue. Identification of the expression product of the gene and of the gene itself provides a means of developing diagnostic and therapeutic agents for the treatment, prophylaxis, and diagnosis of the cancerous condition in which the gene is differentially or preferentially expressed.
