Abstract: The present invention relates to markers of endometriosis which are differentially expressed in the endometrial cells of females with endometriosis compared to endometriosis-free females. The invention also relates to methods for determining likelihood of endometriosis in female subjects, to methods for grading endometriosis in females suffering from endometriosis and to methods for treating this disease. The invention is also concerned with polynucleotides, probes, primers and kits useful for reducing into practice the above-mentioned methods which are more rapid, non invasive, much less complicated and much less costly than laparoscopy.

Abstract: Surprisingly, the present inventors have discovered that expression of TAT-041 protein in human patients is associated with cancer, and that the overexpressed protein is present in plasma membrane fractions. Thus, the present inventors have discovered that TAT-041 is associated with abnormal development and growth, and may be useful as a target for the identification of anti-cancer compounds, including antibodies for use in immunotherapy. Accordingly, the present invention provides methods for the identification of compounds that inhibit TAT-041 expression or activity, comprising: contacting a candidate compound with a TAT-041 and detecting the presence or absence of binding between said compound and said TAT-041, or detecting a change in TAT-041 expression or activity. Methods are also included for the identification of compounds that modulate TAT-041 expression or activity, comprising: administering a compound to a cell or cell population, and detecting a change in TAT-041 expression or activity.
