MELANOMA-ASSOCIATED PROTEIN

摘要

This invention relates to a melanoma-associated protein (MCSP), a derivative of said protein and to means and methods for the production thereof. The invention is also directed to isolated nucleic acids coding for said melanoma-associated protein, to a method of obtaining such nucleic acid molecules, and to their expression. Furthermore, the invention is directed to uses of said protein and nucleic acid, particularly uses relating to diagnosis, prophylaxis and therapy of tumors producing the protein, such as human malignant melanoma, sarcoma and glioblastoma.
