  • Compositions and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of tumor
    Patent number: 8398982
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to compositions of matter useful for the diagnosis and treatment of tumor in mammals and to methods of using those compositions of matter for the same. TAT113 polypeptides comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 are disclosed. Antibodies that bind TAT113 polypeptides, including monoclonal, chimeric, humanized, single chain, and other antibodies, and fragments thereof, are disclosed. Methods of identifying antibodies that bind epitopes bound by such antibodies, including the antibodies produced by hybridoma cell lines disclosed in the application, are provided, wherein the ability of one antibody to block the binding of another antibody to a TAT113 polypeptide indicates that one antibody binds to an epitope bound by the other antibody.
