Abstract:
A method for determining whether a fohy030 mRNA is present in a test sample, the method comprising:a) obtaining a test sample from a test subject;b) exposing said sample under high stringency conditions to an isolated nucleic acid molecule that hybridizes under high stringency conditions to said fohy030 mRNA; andc) determining that said fohy030 mRNA is present in said sample when said sample contains mRNA that hybridizes to said isolated nucleic acid molecule,wherein said fohy030 mRNA is selected from the group consisting of:i) a mRNA comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:8 wherein each T is replaced by U;ii) a mRNA which encodes the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:9;iii) a mRNA which hybridizes under high stringency conditions to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:8, or its complement;iv) a mRNA which hybridizes under high stringency conditions to the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA insert in ATCC Accession No. 97881; andv) a mRNA comprising the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA insert contained in ATCC Accession No. 97881 wherein each T is replaced by a U.
