Derivatives of mammalian secretory peptide-9 for treating cancer and may be used in conjunction with cytokines

摘要

Isolated polynucleotides encoding mammalian Secretory peptide-9 (Zsig9), and related compositions and methods including antibodies and antiidiotypic antibodies are disclosed. Over-expression of these polypeptides is indicative of the presence of cancer. Antibodies and antisense nucleotides can be used therapeutically to either treat the disease or diagnose the presence of tumours.
