Abstract
The present invention describes Urinary Tumor Associated Antigen (UTAA), its isolation and use in diagnostic assays. In particular, UTAA has been identified in samples from cancer patients, in some cases as part of an immune complex of UTAA and UTAA-specific immunoglobulin. Isolated UTAA also may be formulated as a pharmaceutical for production of antibodies or as a vaccine.
