ABSTRACT:
Methods of screening for or treating cancer are disclosed. The screening methods are based on the detection of an antigen, or a nucleic acid molecule encoding the antigen, found by the present invention to be associated with the presence of cancer. Preferred embodiments of the methods include detection of the antigen based on immunological properties, physical properties, enzymatic properties and combinations thereof, or detection of a nucleic acid molecule encoding the antigen based on nucleic acid amplification.
