Abstract

The present invention is directed to novel polypeptides and to nucleic acid molecules encoding those polypeptides. Also provided herein are vectors and host cells comprising those nucleic acid sequences, chimeric polypeptide molecules comprising the polypeptides of the present invention fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences, antibodies which bind to the polypeptides of the present invention and to methods for producing the polypeptides of the present invention.

Claims (2)

1. A method for detecting the presence of a lung tumor, colon tumor, or breast tumor in a mammal, said method comprising contacting a test sample of tissue cells obtained from the mammal with an antibody that specifically binds to (a) the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:16 or (b) the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:16, lacking its associated signal peptide; and detecting significant overexpression of the polypeptide in the test sample compared to a control sample, wherein significant overexpression of the polypeptide is indicative of the presence of a lung tumor, colon tumor, or breast tumor in the mammal.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is labeled with a detectable moiety.
