Abstract:
A method detecting expression of a purified polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 in a biological sample, said method comprising the steps of:a) combining the biological sample with the purified polynucleotide or its complement;b) allowing hybridization to occur between nucleic acids of the biological sample and the purified polynucleotide under conditions suitable for the formation of a hybridization complex between the purified polynucleotide and its complement; andc) detecting the hybridization complex, wherein the presence of the hybridization complex is correlated with the expression of the purified polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 in the biological sample.
