Abstract: Disclosed are nucleic acid and amino acid sequences encoded by a novel, prostate specific gene (UC41) and diagnostic techniques for the detection of human prostate cancer utilizing such nucleic acid and amino acid sequences. Genetic probes and methods useful in monitoring the progression and diagnosis of prostate cancer are described. Methods of treatment for prostate cancer utilizing antisense constructs or antibodies specific for UC41 gene products are also described.
Abstract: Amplification primers and methods for specific amplification and detection of a Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli target are disclosed. The primer-target binding sequences are useful for amplification and detection of C jejuni and C. coli target in a variety of amplification and detection reactions.
