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 RNA sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as LU103 and transcribed from lung tissue is described. A fully sequenced clone representing the longest continuous sequence of LU103 is also disclosed. These sequences are useful for 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.
Abstract:
A set of contiguous and partially overlapping RNA sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as BS106 and transcribed from breast 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 breast such as breast cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to BS106-encoded polypeptide or protein, and agonists or inhibitors which prevent 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 RNA sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as PS 112 and transcribed from prostate tissue is described. A fully sequenced clone representing a continuous sequence of PS 112 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 prostate, such as prostate cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to PS 112-encoded polypeptide or protein, and agonists or inhibitors which prevent action of the tissue-specific PS 112 polypeptide, which molecules are useful for the therapeutic treatment of prostate diseases, tumours or metastases.
Abstract:
A set of contiguous and partially overlapping RNA sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as mammaglobin and transcribed from breast 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 breast such as breast cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to mammaglobin-encoded polypeptide or protein, and agonists or inhibitors which prevent action of the tissue-specific mammaglobin 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.
