ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides methods and compositions for the diagnosis of hyperproliferative disease and autoimmune disease. Tumor associated antigens, nucleic acids encoding them and antibodies to the tumor associated antigens are provided for the diagnosis of hyperproliferative disease, such as, for example, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and other epithelial cancers, and for the diagnosis of autoimmune disease.
