This invention relates to the discovery of a differentiation antigen termed mesothelin which is associated with mesotheliomas and ovarian cancers. Mesothelin is about 69 kD in its full-length form. The invention includes uses for the amino acid and nucleic acid sequences for mesothelin, recombinant cells expressing it, methods for targeting and/or inhibiting the growth of cells bearing mesothelin, methods for detecting the antigen and its expression level as an indication of the presence of tumor cells, and kits for such detection.

Cette invention concerne la découverte d'un antigène de différenciation nommé mésothéline qui est associé aux mésothéliomes et aux cancers ovariens. La mésothéline possède un coefficient de distribution d'environ 69 kD dans sa pleine longueur. Cette invention concerne les utilisations des séquences d'acides aminés et d'acides nucléiques s'appliquant à la mésothéline, des cellules de recombinaison l'exprimant, des procédés de ciblage et/ou d'inhibition du développement de la mésothéline porteuse de cellules, des procédés de détection de l'antigène et du niveau d'expression de celui-ci servant à indiquer la présence de cellules tumorales, et des kits destinés à être utilisés dans cette détection.
