Abstract: According to at least some embodiments of the present invention is directed to anti-HIDE1 antibodies and polypeptides and methods of using same.

Abstract: Novel polypeptides and polynucleotides encoding same are provided. Also provided methods and phamaceutical compositions which can be used to treat various disorders such as cancer and retinopathies, using the polypeptides and polynucleotides of the present invention.

Abstract: Novel markers for cardiac disease that are both sensitive and accurate. These markers are differentially and/or specifically expressed in cardiac tissue, as opposed to other types of tissues, optionally and preferably including muscle tissue. The measurement of these markers, alone or in combination, in patient samples provides information that the diagnostician can correlate with a probable diagnosis of cardiac disease, including pathology and/or damage, including acute and/or chronic damage. The markers of the present invention, alone or in combination, show a high degree of differential detection between cardiac disease states and non-cardiac disease states.

Abstract: Novel alpha 1 subunit splice variants, including nucleic and amino acid sequences. Methods of use thereof are also described.

Abstract: Polypeptide sequences and polynucleotide sequences are provided. Also provided are annotative information concerning such sequences and uses for these sequences.

Abstract: Novel markers for lung cancer that are both sensitive and accurate. These markers are overexpressed in lung cancer specifically, as opposed to normal lung tissue. The measurement of these markers, alone or in combination, in patient samples provides information that the diagnostician can correlate with a probable diagnosis of lung cancer. The markers of the present invention, alone or in combination, show a high degree of differential detection between lung cancer and non-cancerous states.

Abstract: Novel markers for ovarian cancer that are both sensitive and accurate. These markers are overexpressed and/or differentially expressed in ovarian cancer specifically, as opposed to normal ovarian tissue. The measurement of these markers, alone or in combination, in patient samples provides information that the diagnostician can correlate with a probable diagnosis, in ovarian cancer. The markers of the present invention, alone or in combination, show a high degree of differential detection between ovarian cancer and non-cancerous states.

Abstract: Novel BNP variants. The novel BNP variants according to the present invention may optionally be used for diagnosis of a BNP variant-detectable disease as described herein.
