CA 2324297

The present invention relates to nucleotide sequences, including expressed sequence tags (ESTs), oligonucleotide probes, polypeptides, antagonists and agonists vectors and host cells expressing, and immunoadhesions and antibodies to PRO201, PRO308 or PRO309 polypeptides. The invention further relates to compositions and method for the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic cell growth and proliferation in mammals, including humans. The invention is based in part on the identification of genes that are amplified in the genome of tumor cells. Such gene amplification is expected to be associated with the overexpression of the gene product and contribute to tumorigenesis. Accordingly, the proteins encoded by the amplified genes are believed to be useful targets for the diagnosis and/or treatment (including prevention) of certain tumors (e.g. cancer) and may act as predictors of the prognosis of tumor treatment.

La présente invention se rapporte à des séquences nucléotidiques, et notamment à des étiquettes de séquences exprimées (EST), des sondes oligonucléotidiques, des polypeptides, des vecteurs antagonistes et agonistes et des cellules hôtes exprimant les polypeptides PRO201, PRO308 ou PRO309, et des immunoadhésions et des anticorps dirigés contre ces polypeptides. L'invention se rapporte également à des compositions et à un procédé permettant le diagnostic et le traitement de la croissance cellulaire et de la prolifération néoplasique chez les mammifères, en particulier chez l'homme. Cette invention repose en partie sur l'identification de gènes qui sont amplifiés dans le génome de cellules tumorales. Une telle amplification génique est supposée être associée à la surexpression du produit génique et contribuer à l'effet tumorigène. En conséquence, les protéines codées par les gènes amplifiés semblent être des cibles utiles pour le diagnostic et/ou le traitement (notamment la prévention) de certaines tumeurs (notamment du cancer) et peuvent jouer le rôle de prédicteurs du pronostic de traitement antitumoral.
