NUCLEIC ACIDS AND CORRESPONDING PROTEINS ENTITLED PHOR1-A11 AND PHOR1-F5D6 USEFUL IN TREATMENT AND DETECTION OF CANCER

摘要

A novel gene (designated PHOR1-A11 or PHOR1-F5D6) and its encoded protein are described. While PHOR1-A11 or PHOR1-F5D6 exhibits tissue specific expression in normal adult tissue, it is aberrantly expressed in prostate cancer. Consequently, PHOR1-A11 or PHOR-F5D6 provides a diagnostic and/or therapeutic target for cancer. The PHOR1-A11 or PHOR1-F5D6 gene or fragment thereof, or its encoded protein or a fragment thereof, can be used to elicit an immune response.
