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 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:
A novel member of the uteroglobin family of proteins, designated as BU101, is described. BU101 is defined by a set of contiguous and partially overlapping RNA sequences transcribed from breast tissue, and polypeptides encoded thereby. A fully sequenced clone representing the longest continuous sequence of BU101 is also disclosed. These sequences are useful for the detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, 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 BL172 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 BL172-encoded polypeptide or protein, and agonists or inhibitors which prevent action of the tissuespecific BL172 polypeptide, which molecules are useful for the therapeutic treatment of urinary tract diseases, tumors or metastases.
