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:
A set of contiguous and partially overlapping cDNA sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as CS141 and transcribed from GI tract tissue, is described. 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 GI tract, such as GI tract cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to CS141-encoded polypeptide or protein, and agonists or inhibitors which prevent action of the tissue-specific CS141 polypeptide, which molecules are useful for the therapeutic treatment of GI 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 LU105 and transcribed from lung tissue, is described. 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 lung, such as lung cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to LU105encoded polypeptide or protein, and agonists or inhibitors which prevent action of the tissue-specific LU105 polypeptide, which molecules are useful for the therapeutic treatment of lung diseases, tumors or metastases.
