Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel methods of treating, identifying or diagnosing a hyperproliferative disorder in a patient in need thereof. The methods of the invention include administering to a patient a composition comprising a binding molecule which binds to a cell surface expressed glycoprotein expressed predominantly in tumor or tumor-associated cells. In particular, the therapeutic and diagnostic methods of the present invention include the use of a binding molecule, for example an antibody or immunospecific fragment thereof, which specifically binds to a membrane associated molecule, variant polypeptide or fragment thereof. The present invention is based, at least in part, on the discovery of membrane associated proteins, i.e., nucleic acid molecules which encode membrane proteins and the use of these molecules to generate custom arrays to screen for markers associated with various diseases and disorders, e.g., cancer, e.g.

Abstract: Isolated nucleic acids and proteins that are overexpressed in human cancers, and antibodies that specifically bind the proteins, which are useful diagnostic and therapeutic targets.

Abstract: Nucleic acid sequences encoding genes that are overexpressed by human ovarian cancers are provided. These genes and the corresponding antigens are useful diagnostic and therapeutic targets. The invention provides cancer therapies that target these antigens, especially using monoclonal antibodies that target the Anat-2 antigen.

Abstract: Human IGSF9 and LIV-1 polypeptides and DNA (RNA) encoding such polypeptides are disclosed. The disclosed polypeptides and/or polynucleotide are particularly useful generating antibodies, both modified and native, which bind IGSF9 or LIV-1. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions and vaccines comprising the antibodies, polypeptides and polynucleotides of the invention. Also disclosed are methods for utilizing such polypeptides for identifying ligands, antagonists and agonists to said polypeptides. Finally, methods comprising the above-mentioned compositions are disclosed for the treatment, diagnosis, and/or prognosis of neoplastic disorders.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel methods of treating, indentifying or diagnosing a hyperproliferative disorder in a patient in need thereof. The methods of the invention include administering to a patient a composition comprising a binding molecule which binds to a cell surface expressed glycoprotein expressed predominantly in tumor or tumor-associated cells. In particular, the therapeutic and diagnostic methods of the present invention include the use of a binding molecule, for example an antibody or immunospecific fragment thereof, which specifically binds to a lung tumor-associated polypeptide, variant polypeptide or fragment thereof.

Abstract: Nucleic acids and proteins that are overexpressed in colon or colorectal tumor tissues, and which are useful diagnostic and therapeutic targets.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel methods of treating or diagnosing a hyperproliferative disease or disorder in an patient, where the methods include administrating to the patient a binding molecule which binds to a cell surface-expressed glycoprotein expressed predominantly in tumor or tumor-associated cells. In particular, the therapeutic and diagnostic methods of the present invention include the use of a binding molecule, for example an antibody or immunospecific fragment thereof, which specifically binds to the human LRRC15 protein. The present invention further provides a method of isolating and identifying cell surface expressed glycoproteins expressed in tumor or tumor associated tissues, where the method includes isolating desired glycoproteins via their affinity for specific lectins.
