Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method useful for detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, preventing or treating, or determining predisposition to diseases or conditions of the breast such as breast cancer. SOLUTION: A set of contiguous or partially overlapping RNA sequences, and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as BS106 and transcribed from breast tissue is provided. The sequences are useful for detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, preventing or treating, or determining the predisposition of an individual to diseases or conditions of the breast such as the breast cancer. Furthermore, there is provided an antibody which specifically binds to BS106-encoded polypeptide or protein, and an agonist or inhibitor which prevents action of the tissue-specific BS106 polypeptide, which molecules are useful for the therapeutic treatment of breast diseases, tumors or metastases.

Abstract:
Multimeric polypeptides antigens comprising polypeptides designated as BS106 and transcribed from breast tissue is described. These sequences are useful for the detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring prognosticating or determining the predisposition of an individual to diseases and conditions of the breast such as breast cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to BS106-encoded polypeptide or protein.
Abstract:
A set of contiguous and partially overlapping cDNA sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as PS214 and transcribed from prostate, breast, or ovary tissue, is described. These sequences are useful for the detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, in vivo imaging, preventing or treating, or determining the predisposition of an individual to diseases and conditions of the prostate, breast, or ovary, such as prostate, breast, or ovarian cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to PS214-encoded polypeptide or protein, and agonists or inhibitors which prevent action of the tissue-specific PS214 polypeptide, which molecules are useful for the therapeutic treatment of prostate, breast, or ovary diseases, tumors or metastases.
Abstract:
A method for detecting a target nucleic acid sequence sequence using nucleic acid amplification wherein hybridization probes for detection of the amplified target sequence are present during the amplification reaction.
Abstract:
A set of contiguous and partially overlapping cDNA sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as BU101 and transcribed from breast tissue, is described. These sequences are useful for the detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, in vivo imaging, preventing or treating, or determining the predisposition of an individual to diseases and conditions of the breast, such as breast cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to BU101-encoded polypeptide or protein, and agonists or inhibitors which prevent action of the tissue-specific BU101 polypeptide, which molecules are useful for the therapeutic treatment of breast diseases, tumors or metastases.
Abstract:
A set of contiguous and partially overlapping cDNA sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as PA153 and transcribed from pancreatic tissue, are described. These sequences are useful for the detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, in vivo imaging, preventing or treating, or determining the predisposition of an individual to diseases and conditions of the pancreas, such as pancreatic cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to PA153-encoded polypeptide or protein, and agonists or inhibitors which prevent action of the tissue-specific PA153 polypeptide, which molecules are useful for the therapeutic treatment of pancreatic diseases, tumors or metastases.

Abstract:
A set of contiguous and partially overlapping cDNA sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as UT116 and transcribed from urinary tract tissue, is described. These sequences are useful for the detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, in vivo imaging, preventing or treating, or determining the predisposition of an individual to diseases and conditions of the urinary tract, such as urinary tract cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to UT116-encoded polypeptide or protein, and agonists or inhibitors which prevent action of the tissue-specific UT116 polypeptide, which molecules are useful for the therapeutic treatment of urinary tract diseases, tumors or metastases.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to oligonucleotides useful in detection, e.g., by ligase chain reaction (LCR), of target DNA from bacteria of the genus Mycobacterium, substantially without detecting bacteria of other genera. The present invention is also directed to methods of detecting target DNAs from bacteria of the genus Mycobacteria using the ligase chain reaction.
