摘要 |
A set of contiguous and partially overlapping oligonucleotide sequences transcribed from a prostate. Also provided are human disease-specific polypeptides translated from said oligonucleotide sequences and a procedure for producing such polypeptide by recombinant techniques. Antibodies, antagonists and inhibitors of such polypeptide which may be used to prevent the action of such polypeptide and therefore may be used therapeutically to treat prostate diseases, tumors or metastastases are disclosed. Also disclosed is the use of said antibodies, agonists and inhibitors as well as the nucleic acid sequences to screen for, diagnose, prognose, stage and monitor conditions and diseases attributable to prostate tumor, especially prostate cancer. The use of said partial sequence to provide antibodies, agonists and inhibitors as well as partial nucleic acid sequences to screen for, diagnose, stage and monitor diseases and associated with prostate tumor. Illustrative sequences and clone designations for prostate tumors are provided.
