NUCLEIC ACID AND CORRESPONDING PROTEIN NAMED 158P1H4 USEFUL IN THE TREATMENT AND DETECTION OF BLADDER AND OTHER CANCERS

摘要

A novel gene (designated 158P1H4) and its encoded protein are described. While 158P1H4 exhibits tissue specific expression in normal adult tissue, it is aberrantly expressed in multiple cancers including set forth in Table I. Consequently, 158P1H4 provides a diagnostic and/or therapeutic target for cancers. The 158P1H4 gene or fragment thereof, or its encoded protein or a fragment thereof, can be used to elicit an immune response.
