ABSTRACT:
Compounds and methods for treating and diagnosing prostate cancer are provided. The inventive compounds include polypeptides containing at least a portion of a prostate protein. Vaccines and pharmaceutical compositions for immunotherapy of prostate cancer comprising such polypeptides or DNA molecules encoding such polypeptides are also provided. The inventive polypeptides may also be used to generate antibodies useful for the diagnosis and monitoring of prostate cancer. Nucleic acid sequences for preparing probes, primers, and polypeptides are also provided.
