GENE AMPLIFICATION AND OVEREXPRESSION IN CANCER

摘要

There are disclosed methods and compositions for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of tumors and cancers in mammals, for example, humans, utilizing the MKPX gene, which are amplified colon and/or ovarian and/or prostate cancer genes. The MKPX gene, its expressed protein products and antibodies are used diagnostically or as targets for cancer therapy or vaccine; they are also used to identify compounds and reagents useful in cancer diagnosis, prevention, and therapy.
