  • Cancer associated antigens, sga-56m and sga-56mv, and uses thereof
    Publication number: 20060121476
    Abstract: The present invention relates to nucleic and amino acid sequences of SGA-56M and variants thereof. An exemplary variant of SGA-56M is SGA-56Mv. SGA-56M and SGA-56Mv are differentially expressed in cancer tissues and transformed cell lines. In particular, these genes are expressed at elevated levels in breast cancer and lung cancer tissues and cell lines. The present invention is also directed to methods for diagnosing a cancer in a subject, determining the prognosis of a cancer patient, and/or monitoring the efficacy of a treatment regimen for a cancer patient. The present invention further provides methods for screening and identifying modulators (e.g., antagonists or agonists) of SGA-56M and/or SGA-56Mv expression and/or activity. Antagonists identified using the methods of the invention are useful for the treatment of cancer patients.
