ABSTRACT:
The invention features tumor antigens; tumor antigen-encoding nucleic acids; antibodies specific for tumor antigens and methods of using the antibodies; methods of identifying tumor antigens and the nucleic acids that encode them; methods of monitoring or diagnosing tumors in patients; methods of testing patients for the increased likelihood of developing a tumor; and methods and compositions for treatment of a tumor or prophylaxis against developing a tumor.
