Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for screening, diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer, for monitoring the effectiveness of breast cancer treatment, and for drug development.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel anti-angiogenic proteins, related to thrombospondin. More specifically, isolated nucleic acid molecules are provided encoding human METH1 and METH2. METH1 and METH2 polypeptides are also provided, as are vectors, host cells and recombinant methods for producing the same. Also provided are diagnostic methods for the prognosis of cancer and therapeutic methods for treating individuals in need of an increased amount of METH1 or METH2. Also provided are methods for inhibiting angiogenesis using METH1 or METH2.

Abstract: ITGL-TSP polypeptides and polynucleotides and methods for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for utilizing ITGL-TSP polypeptides and polynucleotides in the design of protocols for the treatment of, angiogenic diseases (cancer, cancer metastasis, chronic inflammatory disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, macular degeneration, diabetic retmopathy), restenosis, Alzheimer's disease and tissue remodeling, among others, and diagnostic assays for such conditions.

Abstract: The present invention provides a polypeptide, PTK7, of use in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of carcinoma. Also provided are agents which interact with or modulate the expression or activity of the polypeptide, methods for the identification of such agents and the use of PTK7 in the diagnosis of carcinoma.

Abstract: The present invention relates to new uses of a protein (NKCC1) in the diagnosis, screening, treatment and prophylaxis of breast, lung and/or pancreatic cancer. The invention also provides compositions comprising the protein, including vaccines, antibodies that are immunospecific for the protein and agents which interact with or modulate the expression or activity of the protein or which modulate the expression of the nucleic acid which codes for the protein.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the new uses of a polypeptide (retinoic acid-inducible gene 1; RAIG1, also known as hypothetical protein FLJ10899 or retinoic acid induced 3) compositions comprising the polypeptide, including vaccines, antibodies that are immunospecific for the polypeptide and agents which interact with or modulate the expression or activity of the polypeptide or the expression of the nucleic acid which encodes the polypeptide. The use of the polypeptide in the diagnosis, screening and treatment of carcinoma, e.g. breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, ovarian cancer, colon cancer and/or osteosarcoma, is also provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides a polypeptide (CCMP-1) of use in the diagnosis, screening, treatment and prophylaxis of carcinoma. Also provided are compositions comprising the protein, vaccines and antibodies that are immunospecific for the protein.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a polypeptide (CD27L) for diagnosis of epithelial-related cancers, in particular kidney cancer e.g. renal cell cancer and colorectal cancer, e.g. colon cancers, as well as in methods of treatment of such cancers.
