A set of contiguous and partially overlapping RNA sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as BS106 and transcribed from breast tissue is described. These sequences are useful for the detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, preventing or treating, or determining the predisposition of an individual to diseases and conditions of the breast such as breast cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to BS106-encoded polypeptide or protein, and agonists or inhibitors which prevent action of the tissue-specific BS106 polypeptide, which molecules are useful for the therapeutic treatment of breast diseases, tumors or metastases.

Reagents and methods useful for detecting diseases of the breast

A set of contiguous and partially overlapping RNA sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as PS190 and transcribed from prostate tissue is described. These sequences are useful for the detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, preventing or treating, or determining the predisposition of an individual to diseases and conditions of the prostate, such as prostate cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to PS190-encoded polypeptide or protein, and agonists or inhibitors which prevent action of the tissue-specific PS190 polypeptide, which molecules are useful for the therapeutic treatment of prostate diseases, tumors or metastases.

Reagents and methods useful for detecting diseases of the prostate

A set of contiguous and partially overlapping cDNA sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as CS198 and transcribed from GI tract tissue, is described. These sequences are useful for detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, preventing or treating, or determining the predisposition of an individual to diseases and conditions of the GI tract, such as GI tract cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to CS198-encoded polypeptide or protein, and agonists or inhibitors which prevent action of the tissue-specific CS198 polypeptide, which molecules are useful for the therapeutic treatment of GI tract diseases, tumors or metastases.

Methods for detecting CS198 antigen

A set of contiguous and partially overlapping cDNA sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as BL172 and transcribed from urinary tract tissue, is described. These sequences are useful for the detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, in vivo imaging, preventing or treating, or determining the predisposition of an individual to diseases and conditions of the urinary tract, such as urinary tract cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to BL172-encoded polypeptide or protein, and agonists or inhibitors which prevent action of the tissue-specific BL172 polypeptide, which molecules are useful for the therapeutic treatment of urinary tract diseases, tumors or metastases.
