Nucleic acids and corresponding proteins entitled 83p2h3 and catrf2e11 useful intreatment and detection of cancer

摘要

A novel gene (designated 83P2H3) and its encoded protein are described. While 83P2H3 exhibits tissue specific expression in normal adult tissue, it is a aberrantly expressed in prostate cancer. Consequently, 83P2H3 provides a diagnostic and/or therapeutic target of cancer. The 83P2H3 gene or fragment thereof, or its encoded protein or a fragment thereof, can be used to elicit an immune response.
