Description: MOLECULES FOR DISEASE DETECTION AND TREATMENT TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to molecules for disease detection and treatment and to the use of these sequences in the diagnosis, study, prevention, and treatment of diseases associated with disease detection and treatment molecules BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The human genome is comprised of thousands of genes, many encoding gene products that function in the maintenance and growth of the various cells and tissues in the body Aberrant expression or mutations in these genes and their products is the cause of, or is associated with, a variety of human diseases such as cancer and other cell proliferative disorders The identification of these genes and their products is the basis of an ever-expanding effort to find markers for early detection of diseases, and targets for their prevention and treatment For example, cancer represents a type of cell proliferative disorder that affects nearly every tissue in the body A wide variety of molecules, either aberrantly expressed or mutated, can be the cause of, or involved with, various cancers because tissue growth involves complex and ordered patterns of cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and apoptosis Cell proliferation must be regulated to maintain both the number of cells and their spatial organization This regulation depends upon the appropriate expression of proteins which control cell cycle progression in response to extracellular signals such as growth factors and other mitogens, and intracellular cues such as DNA damage or nutrient starvation Molecules which directly or indirectly modulate cell cycle progression fall into several categories, including growth factors and their receptors, second messenger and signal transduction proteins, oncogene products, tumor-suppressor proteins, and mitosis-promoting factors Aberrant expression or mutations in any of these gene products can result in cell proliferative disorders such as cancer Oncogenes are genes generally derived from normal genes that, through abnormal expression or mutation, can effect the transformation of a normal cell to a malignant one (oncogenesis) Oncoproteins, encoded by oncogenes, can affect cell proliferation in a variety of ways and include growth factors, growth factor receptors, intracellular signal transducers, nuclear transcription factors, and cell-cycle control proteins In contrast, tumor-suppressor genes are involved in inhibiting cell proliferation Mutations which cause reduced or loss of function in tumor-suppressor genes result in aberrant cell proliferation and cancer Thus a wide variety of genes and their products have been found that are associated with cell proliferative disorders such as cancer, but many more may exist that are yet to be discovered DNA-based arrays can provide a simple way to explore the expression of a single polymorphic gene or a large number of genes When the expression of a single gene is explored, DNA-based arrays are employed to detect the expression of specific gene vaπants For example, a p53 tumor suppressor gene array is used to determine whether individuals are carrying mutations that predispose them to cancer A cytochrome p450 gene array is useful to determine whether individuals have one of a number of specific mutations that could result in increased drug metabolism, drug resistance or drug toxicity DNA-based array technology is especially relevant for the rapid screening of expression of a large number of genes There is a growing awareness that gene expression is affected in a global fashion A genetic predisposition, disease or therapeutic treatment may affect, directly or indirectly, the expression of a large number of genes In some cases the interactions may be expected, such as when the genes are part of the same signaling pathway In other cases, such as when the genes participate in separate signaling pathways, the interactions may be totally unexpected Therefore, DNA-based arrays can be used to investigate how genetic predisposition, disease, or therapeutic treatment affects the expression of a large number of genes The discovery of new molecules for disease detection and treatment satisfies a need in the art by providing new compositions which are useful in the diagnosis, study, prevention, and treatment of diseases SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

residues or nucleotides A fragment used as a probe, primer, antigen, therapeutic molecule, or for other purposes, may be at least 5, 10, 15, 16, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75, 100, 150, 250 or at least

of contiguous amino acids selected from the first 250 or 500 amino acids (or first 25% or 50%) of a polypeptide as shown in a certain defined sequence Clearly these lengths are exemplary, and any length that is supported by the specification, including the Sequence Listing and the figures, may be encompassed by the present embodiments A fragment of mddt compnses a region of unique polynucleotide sequence that specifically identifies mddt, for example, as distinct from any other sequence in the same genome A fragment of mddt is useful, for example, in hybridization and amplification technologies and in analogous methods that distinguish mddt from related polynucleotide sequences The precise length of a fragment of mddt and the region of mddt to which the fragment corresponds are routinely determinable by one of ordinary skill in the art based on the intended purpose for the fragment A fragment of MDDT is encoded by a fragment of mddt A fragment of MDDT comprises a region of unique amino acid sequence that specifically identifies MDDT For example, a fragment of MDDT is useful as an lmmunogenic peptide for the development of antibodies that

the intended purpose for the fragment A "full length" nucleotide sequence is one containing at least a start site for translation to a protein sequence, followed by an open reading frame and a stop site, and encoding a "full length" polypeptide "Hit" refers to a sequence whose annotation will be used to descnbe a given template Criteria for selecting the top hit are as follows if the template has one or more exact nucleic acid matches, the top hit is the exact match with highest percent identity If the template has no exact matches but has significant protein hits, the top hit is the protein hit with the lowest E-value If the template has no significant protein hits, but does have significant non-exact nucleotide hits, the top hit is the nucleotide hit with the lowest E-value "Homology" refers to sequence similarity either between a reference nucleic acid sequence and at least a fragment of an mddt or between a reference amino acid sequence and a fragment of an MDDT "Hybndization" refers to the process by which a strand of nucleotides anneals with a complementary strand through base pairing Specific hybndization is an indication that two nucleic acid sequences share a high degree of identity Specific hybndization complexes form under defined annealing conditions, and remain hybndized after the "washing" step The defined hybridization conditions include the annealing conditions and the washing step(s), the latter of which is particularly important in determining the stnngency of the hybndization process, with more stnngent conditions allowing less non-specific binding, I e , binding between pairs of nucleic acid probes that are not perfectly matched Permissive conditions for annealing of nucleic acid sequences are routinely determinable and may be consistent among hybridization experiments, whereas wash conditions may be varied among experiments to achieve the desired stringency Generally, stnngency of hybridization is expressed with reference to the temperature under which the wash step is earned out Generally, such wash temperatures are selected to be about 5°C to 20°C lower than the thermal melting point (T m ) for the specific sequence at a defined ionic strength and pH The T m is the temperature (under defined ionic strength and pH) at which 50% of the target sequence hybridizes to a perfectly matched probe An equation for calculating T m and conditions for nucleic acid hybridization is well known and can be found in Sambrook et al , 1989, Molecular Cloning A Laboratory Manual, 2 nd ed , vol 1 -3, Cold Spring Harbor Press, Plainview NY, specifically see volume 2, chapter 9 High stnngency conditions for hybridization between polynucleotides of the present invention include wash conditions of 68°C in the presence of about 0 2 x SSC and about 0 1 % SDS, for 1 hour Alternatively, temperatures of about 65°C, 60°C, or 55°C may be used SSC concentration may be varied from about 0 2 to 2 x SSC, with SDS being present at about 0 1 % Typically, blocking reagents are used to block non-specific hybndization Such blocking reagents include, for instance, denatured salmon sperm DNA at about 100-200 μg/ml Useful variations on these conditions will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art Hybndization, particularly under high stringency conditions, may be suggestive of evolutionary similanty between the nucleotides Such similarity is strongly indicative of a similar role for the nucleotides and their resultant proteins Other parameters, such as temperature, salt concentration, and detergent concentration may be varied to achieve the desired stnngency Denaturants, such as formamide at a concentration of about 35-50% v/v, may also be used under particular circumstances, such as RNA DNA hybridizations Appropnate hybndization conditions are routinely determinable by one of ordinary skill in the art "lmmunogenic" descnbes the potential for a natural, recombinant, or synthetic peptide, epitope, polypeptide, or protein to induce antibody production appropnate animals, cells, or cell lines "Insertion" or "addition" refers to a change in either a nucleic or amino acid sequence in which at least one nucleotide or residue, respectively, is added to the sequence "Labeling" refers to the covalent or noncovalent joining of a polynucleotide, polypeptide, or antibody with a reporter molecule capable of producing a detectable or measurable signal "Microarray" is any aπangement of nucleic acids, amino acids, antibodies, etc , on a substrate The substrate may be a solid support such as beads, glass, paper, nitrocellulose, nylon, or an appropriate membrane "Linkers" are short stretches of nucleotide sequence which may be added to a vector or an mddt to create restnction endonuclease sites to facilitate cloning "Polylinkers" are engineered to incorporate multiple restriction enzyme sites and to provide for the use of enzymes which leave 5' or 3' overhangs (e g , BamHI, EcoRI, and Hindlll) and those which provide blunt ends (e g , EcoRV, SnaBI, and Stul) "Naturally occurring" refers to an endogenous polynucleotide or polypeptide that may be isolated from viruses or prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells "Nucleic acid sequence" refers to the specific order of nucleotides joined by phosphodiester bonds in a linear, polymenc arrangement Depending on the number of nucleotides, the nucleic acid sequence can be considered an oligomer, oligonucleotide, or polynucleotide The nucleic acid can be DNA, RNA, or any nucleic acid analog, such as PNA, may be of genomic or synthetic origin, may be either double-stranded or single-stranded, and can represent either the sense or antisense (complementary) strand "Oligomer" refers to a nucleic acid sequence of at least about 6 nucleotides and as many as about 60 nucleotides, preferably about 15 to 40 nucleotides, and most preferably between about 20 and 30 nucleotides, that may be used in hybridization or amplification technologies Oligomers may be used as, e g , pnmers for PCR, and are usually chemically synthesized "Operably linked" refers to the situation in which a first nucleic acid sequence is placed in a functional relationship with the second nucleic acid sequence For instance, a promoter is operably linked to a coding sequence if the promoter affects the transcription or expression of the coding sequence Generally, operably linked DNA sequences may be in close proximity or contiguous and, where necessary to join two protein coding regions, in the same reading frame "Peptide nucleic acid" (PNA) refers to a DNA mimic in which nucleotide bases are attached to a pseudopeptide backbone to increase stability PNAs, also designated antigene agents, can prevent gene expression by targeting complementary messenger RNA The phrases "percent identity" and "% identity", as applied to polynucleotide sequences, refer to the percentage of residue matches between at least two polynucleotide sequences aligned using a standardized algorithm. Such an algonthm may insert, in a standardized and reproducible way, gaps in the sequences being compared in order to optimize alignment between two sequences, and therefore achieve a more meaningful comparison of the two sequences. Percent identity between polynucleotide sequences may be determined using the default parameters of the CLUSTAL V algorithm as incorporated into the MEGALIGN version 3.12e sequence alignment program. This program is part of the LASERGENE software package, a suite of molecular biological analysis programs (DNASTAR, Madison WI) CLUSTAL V is described in Higgins, D.G. and Sharp, P.M ( 1989) CABIOS 5: 151-153 and in Higgins, D.G. et al. ( 1992) CABIOS 8: 189-191. For pairwise alignments of polynucleotide sequences, the default parameters are set as follows. Ktuple=2, gap penalty=5, wιndow=4, and "diagonals saved"=4 The "weighted" residue weight table is selected as the default. Percent identity is reported by CLUSTAL V as the "percent similarity" between aligned polynucleotide sequence pairs Alternatively, a suite of commonly used and freely available sequence comparison algorithms is provided by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) (Altschul, S F. et al. ( 1990) J Mol. Biol. 215 403-410), which is available from several sources, including the NCBI, Bethesda, MD, and on the Internet at http7/www. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/ The BLAST software suite includes various sequence analysis programs including "blastn," that is used to determine alignment between a known polynucleotide sequence and other sequences on a variety of databases. Also available is a tool called "BLAST 2 Sequences" that is used for direct pairwise comparison of two nucleotide sequences. "BLAST 2 Sequences" can be accessed and used interactively at http://www ncbi.nlm nih.gov/gorf/bl2/. The "BLAST 2 Sequences" tool can be used for both blastn and blastp (discussed below) BLAST programs are commonly used with gap and other parameters set to default settings For example, to compare two nucleotide sequences, one may use blastn with the "BLAST 2 Sequences" tool Version 2.0.9 (May-07-1999) set at default parameters Such default parameters may be, for example: Matrix: BLOSUM62 Reward for match: 1 Penalty for mismatch: -2 Open Gap: 5 and Extension Gap. 2 penalties Gap x drop-off: 50 Expect: 10 Word Size: 11 Filter on Percent identity may be measured over the length of an entire defined sequence, for example, as defined by a particular SEQ ID number, or may be measured over a shorter length, for example, over the length of a fragment taken from a larger, defined sequence, for instance, a fragment of at least 20, at least 30, at least 40, at least 50, at least 70, at least 100, or at least 200 contiguous nucleotides Such lengths are exemplary only, and it is understood that any fragment length supported by the sequences shown herein, in figures or Sequence Listings, may be used to describe a length over which percentage identity may be measured Nucleic acid sequences that do not show a high degree of identity may nevertheless encode similar amino acid sequences due to the degeneracy of the genetic code It is understood that changes in nucleic acid sequence can be made using this degeneracy to produce multiple nucleic acid sequences that all encode substantially the same protein The phrases "percent identity" and "% identity", as applied to polypeptide sequences, refer to the percentage of residue matches between at least two polypeptide sequences aligned using a standardized algorithm Methods of polypeptide sequence alignment are well-known Some alignment methods take into account conservative amino acid substitutions Such conservative substitutions, explained in more detail above, generally preserve the hydrophobicity and acidity of the substituted residue, thus preserving the structure (and therefore function) of the folded polypeptide Percent identity between polypeptide sequences may be determined using the default parameters of the CLUSTAL V algorithm as incorporated into the MEGALIGN version 3 12e sequence alignment program (described and referenced above) For pairwise alignments of polypeptide sequences using CLUSTAL V, the default parameters are set as follows Ktuple= 1 , gap penalty=3, wιndow=5, and "diagonals saved"=5 The PAM250 matrix is selected as the default residue weight table As with polynucleotide alignments, the percent identity is reported by CLUSTAL V as the "percent similarity" between aligned polypeptide sequence pairs Alternatively the NCBI BLAST software suite may be used For example, for a pairwise comparison of two polypeptide sequences, one may use the "BLAST 2 Sequences" tool Version 2 0 9 (May-07-1999) with blastp set at default parameters Such default parameters may be, for example Matrix BLOSUM62 Open Gap 11 and Extension Gap 1 penalty Gap x drop-off 50 Expect 10 Filter on Percent identity may be measured over the length of an entire defined polypeptide sequence, for example, as defined by a particular SEQ ID number, or may be measured over a shorter length, for example, over the length of a fragment taken from a larger, defined polypeptide sequence, for instance, a fragment of at least 15, at least 20, at least 30, at least 40, at least 50, at least 70 or at least 150 contiguous residues Such lengths are exemplary only, and it is understood that any fragment length supported by the sequences shown herein, in figures or Sequence Listings, may be used to describe a length over which percentage identity may be measured "Post-translational modification" of an MDDT may involve hpidation, glycosylation, phosphorylation, acetylation, racemization, proteolytic cleavage, and other modifications known in the art These processes may occur synthetically or biochemically Biochemical modifications will vary by cell type depending on the enzymatic milieu and the MDDT "Probe" refers to mddt or fragments thereof, which are used to detect identical, allelic or related nucleic acid sequences Probes are isolated oligonucleotides or polynucleotides attached to a detectable label or reporter molecule Typical labels include radioactive isotopes, ligands, chemiluminescent agents, and enzymes "Pnmers" are short nucleic acids, usually DNA oligonucleotides, which may be annealed to a target polynucleotide by complementary base-pairing The primer may then be extended along the target DNA strand by a DNA polymerase enzyme Pnmer pairs can be used for amplification (and identification) of a nucleic acid sequence, e g , by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) Probes and primers as used in the present invention typically comprise at least 15 contiguous nucleotides of a known sequence In order to enhance specificity, longer probes and primers may also be employed, such as probes and primers that comprise at least 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, or at least 150 consecutive nucleotides of the disclosed nucleic acid sequences Probes and primers may be considerably longer than these examples, and it is understood that any length supported by the specification, including the figures and Sequence Listing, may be used Methods for preparing and using probes and pnmers are descnbed in the references, for example Sambrook et al , 1989, Molecular Cloning A Laboratory Manual, 2 nd ed , vol 1-3, Cold Spnng Harbor Press, Plainview NY, Ausubel et al J987, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology. Greene Publ Assoc & Wiley-Intersciences, New York NY, Innis et al , 1990, PCR Protocols, A Guide to Methods and Applications, Academic Press, San Diego CA PCR pnmer pairs can be denved from a known sequence, for example, by using computer programs intended for that purpose such as Primer (Version 0 5, 1991 , Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambndge MA) Oligonucleotides for use as pnmers are selected using software known in the art for such purpose For example, OLIGO 4 06 software is useful for the selection of PCR primer pairs of up to 100 nucleotides each, and for the analysis of oligonucleotides and larger polynucleotides of up to 5,000 nucleotides from an input polynucleotide sequence of up to 32 kilobases Similar primer selection programs have incorporated additional features for expanded capabilities For example, the PπmOU pnmer selection program (available to the public from the Genome Center at University of Texas South West Medical Center, Dallas TX) is capable of choosing specific primers from megabase sequences and is thus useful for designing primers on a genome-wide scope The Pπmer3 primer selection program (available to the public from the Whitehead Institute/MIT Center for Genome Research, Cambridge MA) allows the user to input a "mispnming library," in which sequences to avoid as primer binding sites are user-specified Pπmer3 is useful, in particular, for the selection of oligonucleotides for microarrays (The source code for the latter two primer selection programs may also be obtained from their respective sources and modified to meet the user's specific needs ) The PnmeGen program (available to the public from the UK Human Genome Mapping Project Resource Centre, Cambridge UK) designs pnmers based on multiple sequence alignments, thereby allowing selection of primers that hybridize to either the most conserved or least conserved regions of aligned nucleic acid sequences Hence, this program is useful for identification of both unique and conserved oligonucleotides and polynucleotide fragments The oligonucleotides and polynucleotide fragments identified by any of the above selection methods are useful in hybndization technologies, for example, as PCR or sequencing primers, microarray elements, or specific probes to identify fully or partially complementary polynucleotides in a sample of nucleic acids Methods of oligonucleotide selection are not limited to those described above "Purified" refers to molecules, either polynucleotides or polypeptides that are isolated or separated from their natural environment and are at least 60% free, preferably at least 75% free, and most preferably at least 90% free from other compounds with which they are naturally associated A "recombinant nucleic acid" is a sequence that is not naturally occurring or has a sequence that is made by an artificial combination of two or more otherwise separated segments of sequence This artificial combination is often accomplished by chemical synthesis or, more commonly, by the artificial manipulation of isolated segments of nucleic acids, e g , by genetic engineering techniques such as those described in Sambrook, supra The term recombinant includes nucleic acids that have been altered solely by addition, substitution, or deletion of a portion of the nucleic acid Frequently, a recombinant nucleic acid may include a nucleic acid sequence operably linked to a promoter sequence Such a recombinant nucleic acid may be part of a vector that is used, for example, to transform a cell Alternatively, such recombinant nucleic acids may be part of a viral vector, e g , based on a vaccinia virus, that could be use to vaccinate a mammal wherein the recombinant nucleic acid is expressed, inducing a protective immunological response in the mammal "Regulatory element" refers to a nucleic acid sequence from nontranslated regions of a gene, and includes enhancers, promoters, introns, and 3' untranslated regions, which interact with host proteins to carry out or regulate transcription or translation "Reporter" molecules are chemical or biochemical moieties used for labeling a nucleic acid, an amino acid, or an antibody They include radionuclides, enzymes, fluorescent, chemiluminescent, or chromogenic agents, substrates, cof actors, inhibitors, magnetic particles, and other moieties known in the art An "RNA equivalent," in reference to a DNA sequence, is composed of the same linear sequence of nucleotides as the reference DNA sequence with the exception that all occurrences of the nitrogenous base thymme are replaced with uracil, and the sugar backbone is composed of ribose instead of deoxyπbose "Sample" is used in its broadest sense Samples may contain nucleic or amino acids, antibodies, or other materials, and may be derived from any source (e g , bodily fluids including, but not limited to, saliva, blood, and urine, chromosome(s), organelles, or membranes isolated from a cell, genomic DNA, RNA, or cDNA in solution or bound to a substrate, and cleared cells or tissues or blots or imprints from such cells or tissues) "Specific binding" or "specifically binding" refers to the interaction between a protein or peptide and its agonist, antibody, antagonist, or other binding partner The interaction is dependent upon the presence of a particular structure of the protein, e g , the antigenic determinant or epitope, recognized by the binding molecule For example, if an antibody is specific for epitope "A," the presence of a polypeptide containing epitope A, or the presence of free unlabeled A, in a reaction containing free labeled A and the antibody will reduce the amount of labeled A that binds to the antibody "Substitution" refers to the replacement of at least one nucleotide or ammo acid by a different nucleotide or amino acid "Substrate" refers to any suitable rigid or semi-rigid support including, e g , membranes, filters, chips, slides, wafers, fibers, magnetic or nonmagnetic beads, gels, tubing, plates, polymers, microparticles or capillaries The substrate can have a variety of surface forms, such as wells, trenches, pins, channels and pores, to which polynucleotides or polypeptides are bound A "transcript image" refers to the collective pattern of gene expression by a particular tissue or cell type under given conditions at a given time "Transformation" refers to a process by which exogenous DNA enters a recipient cell Transformation may occur under natural or artificial conditions using vanous methods well known in the art Transformation may rely on any known method for the insertion of foreign nucleic acid sequences into a prokaryotic or eukaryotic host cell The method is selected based on the host cell being transformed "Transformants" include stably transformed cells in which the inserted DNA is capable of replication either as an autonomously replicating plasmid or as part of the host chromosome, as well as cells which transiently express inserted DNA or RNA A "transgenic organism," as used herein, is any organism, including but not limited to animals and plants, in which one or more of the cells of the organism contains heterologous nucleic acid introduced by way of human intervention, such as by transgenic techniques well known in the art The nucleic acid is introduced into the cell, directly or indirectly by introduction into a precursor of the cell, by way of deliberate genetic manipulation, such as by microinjection or by infection with a recombinant virus The term genetic manipulation does not include classical cross-breeding, or in vitro fertilization, but rather is directed to the introduction of a recombinant DNA molecule The transgenic organisms contemplated in accordance with the present invention include bacteria, cyanobacteria, fungi, and plants and animals The isolated DNA of the present invention can be introduced into the host by methods known in the art, for example infection, transfection, transformation or transconjugation Techniques for transferring the DNA of the present invention into such organisms are widely known and provided in references such as Sambrook et al ( 1989), supra A "variant" of a particular nucleic acid sequence is defined as a nucleic acid sequence having at least 25% sequence identity to the particular nucleic acid sequence over a certain length of one of the nucleic acid sequences using blastn with the "BLAST 2 Sequences" tool Version 2 0 9 (May-07- 1999) set at default parameters Such a pair of nucleic acids may show, for example, at least 30%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95% or even at least 98% or greater sequence identity over a certain defined length The variant may result in "conservative" amino acid changes which do not affect structural and/or chemical properties A variant may be described as, for example, an "allelic" (as defined above), "splice," "species," or "polymorphic" variant A splice variant may have significant identity to a reference molecule, but will generally have a greater or lesser number of polynucleotides due to alternate splicing of exons dunng mRNA processing The corresponding polypeptide may possess additional functional domains or lack domains that are present in the reference molecule Species variants are polynucleotide sequences that vary from one species to another The resulting polypeptides generally will have significant amino acid identity relative to each other A polymorphic variant is a variation in the polynucleotide sequence of a particular gene between individuals of a given species Polymorphic variants also may encompass "single nucleotide polymorphisms" (SNPs) in which the polynucleotide sequence varies by one base The presence of SNPs may be indicative of, for example, a certain population, a disease state, or a propensity for a disease state In an alternative, variants of the polynucleotides of the present invention may be generated through recombinant methods One possible method is a DNA shuffling technique such as MOLECULARBREEDING (Maxygen Inc , Santa Clara CA, described in U S Patent Number 5,837,458, Chang, C -C et al ( 1999) Nat Biotechnol 17 793-797, Chnstians, F C et al (1999) Nat Biotechnol 17 259-264, and Crameπ, A et al ( 1996) Nat. Biotechnol 14 315-319) to alter or improve the biological properties of MDDT, such as its biological or enzymatic activity or its ability to bind to other molecules or compounds DNA shuffling is a process by which a library of gene variants is produced using PCR-mediated recombination of gene fragments The library is then subjected to selection or screening procedures that identify those gene variants with the desired properties These preferred variants may then be pooled and further subjected to recursive rounds of DNA shuffling and selection/screening Thus, genetic diversity is created through "artificial" breeding and rapid molecular evolution For example, fragments of a single gene containing random point mutations may be recombined, screened, and then reshuffled until the desired properties are optimized Alternatively, fragments of a given gene may be recombined with fragments of homologous genes in the same gene family, either from the same or different species, thereby maximizing the genetic diversity of multiple naturally occurring genes in a directed and controllable manner A "vanant" of a particular polypeptide sequence is defined as a polypeptide sequence having at least 40% sequence identity to the particular polypeptide sequence over a certain length of one of the polypeptide sequences using blastp with the "BLAST 2 Sequences" tool Version 2 0 9 (May-07- 1999) set at default parameters Such a pair of polypeptides may show, for example, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least 98% or greater sequence identity over a certain defined length of one of the polypeptides THE INVENTION In a particular embodiment, cDNA sequences derived from human tissues and cell lines were aligned based on nucleotide sequence identity and assembled into "consensus" or "template" sequences which are designated by the template identification numbers (template IDs) in column 2 of Table 1 The sequence identification numbers (SEQ ID NO s) conesponding to the template IDs are shown in column 1 The template sequences have similanty to GenBank sequences, or "hitsJ as designated by the GI Numbers in column 3 The statistical probability of each GenBank hit is indicated by a probability score in column 4, and the functional annotation corresponding to each GenBank hit is listed in column 5 The invention incorporates the nucleic acid sequences of these templates as disclosed in the Sequence Listing and the use of these sequences in the diagnosis and treatment of disease states charactenzed by defects in molecules for disease detection and treatment The invention further utilizes these sequences in hybridization and amplification technologies, and in particular, in technologies which assess gene expression patterns conelated with specific cells or tissues and their responses in vivo or in vitro to pharmaceutical agents, toxins, and other treatments In this manner, the sequences of the present invention are used to develop a transcnpt image for a particular cell or tissue Deπvation of Nucleic Acid Sequences cDNA was isolated from libraries constructed using RNA derived from normal and diseased human tissues and cell lines The human tissues and cell lines used for cDNA library construction were selected from a broad range of sources to provide a diverse population of cDNAs representative of gene transcnption throughout the human body Descnptions of the human tissues and cell lines used for cDNA library construction are provided in the LIFESEQ database (Incyte Genomics, Inc (Incyte), Palo Alto CA) Human tissues were broadly selected from, for example, cardiovascular, dermatologic, endocrine, gastrointestinal, hematopoietic/immune system, musculoskeletal, neural, reproductive, and urologic sources Cell lines used for cDNA library construction were denved from, for example, leukemic cells, teratocarcinomas, neuroepithehomas, cervical carcinoma, lung fibroblasts, and endothelial cells Such cell lines include, for example, THP-1 , Jurkat, HUVEC, hNT2, WI38, HeLa, and other cell lines commonly used and available from public depositories (American Type Culture Collection, Manassas VA) Pnor to mRNA isolation, cell lines were untreated, treated with a pharmaceutical agent such as 5'-aza-2'-deoxycytιdιne, treated with an activating agent such as lipopolysacchande in the case of leukocytic cell lines, or, in the case of endothelial cell lines, subjected to shear stress Sequencing of the cDNAs Methods for DNA sequencing are well known in the art Conventional enzymatic methods employ the Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase I, SEQUENASE DNA polymerase (U S Biochemical Coφoration, Cleveland OH), Taq polymerase (PE Biosystems, Foster City CA), thermostable T7 polymerase (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Inc (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech), Piscataway NJ), or combinations of polymerases and proofreading exonucleases such as those found in the ELONGASE amplification system (Life Technologies Inc (Life Technologies), Gaithersburg MD), to extend the nucleic acid sequence from an oligonucleotide pnmer annealed to the DNA template of interest Methods have been developed for the use of both single-stranded and double- stranded templates Chain termination reaction products may be electrophoresed on urea- polyacrylanude gels and detected either by autoradiography (for radioisotope-labeled nucleotides) or by fluorescence (for fluorophore-labeled nucleotides) Automated methods for mechanized reaction preparation, sequencing, and analysis using fluorescence detection methods have been developed. Machines used to prepare cDNAs for sequencing can include the MICROLAB 2200 liquid transfer system (Hamilton Company (Hamilton), Reno NV), Peltier thermal cycler (PTC200; MJ Research, Inc. (MJ Research), Watertown MA), and ABI CATALYST 800 thermal cycler (PE Biosystems) Sequencing can be earned out using, for example, the ABI 373 or 377 (PE Biosystems) or MEGABACE 1000 (Molecular Dynamics, Inc (Molecular Dynamics), Sunnyvale CA) DNA sequencing systems, or other automated and manual sequencing systems well known in the art. The nucleotide sequences of the Sequence Listing have been prepared by current, state-of- the-art, automated methods and, as such, may contain occasional sequencing errors or unidentified nucleotides Such unidentified nucleotides are designated by an N These infrequent unidentified bases do not represent a hindrance to practicing the invention for those skilled in the art Several methods employing standard recombinant techniques may be used to correct errors and complete the missing sequence information (See, e g., those described in Ausubel, F M et al. ( 1997) Short Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, New York NY, and Sambrook, J. et al. ( 1989) Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Press, Plainview NY ) Assembly of cDNA Sequences Human polynucleotide sequences may be assembled using programs or algorithms well known in the art Sequences to be assembled are related, wholly or in part, and may be derived from a single or many different transcπpts Assembly of the sequences can be performed using such programs as PHRAP (Phils Revised Assembly Program) and the GELVIEW fragment assembly system (GCG), or other methods known in the art Alternatively, cDNA sequences are used as "component" sequences that are assembled into "template" or "consensus" sequences as follows Sequence chromatograms are processed, veπfied, and quality scores are obtained using PHRED Raw sequences are edited using an editing pathway known as Block 1 (See, e.g., the LIFESEQ Assembled User Guide, Incyte Genomics, Palo Alto, CA). A series of BLAST comparisons is performed and low-information segments and repetitive elements (e.g., dinucleotide repeats, Alu repeats, etc.) are replaced by "n's", or masked, to prevent spurious matches Mitochondnal and nbosomal RNA sequences are also removed The processed sequences are then loaded into a relational database management system (RDMS) which assigns edited sequences to existing templates, if available When additional sequences are added into the RDMS, a process is initiated which modifies existing templates or creates new templates from works in progress (i.e., nonfinal assembled sequences) containing queued sequences or the sequences themselves After the new sequences have been assigned to templates, the templates can be merged into bins. If multiple templates exist in one bin, the bin can be split and the templates reannotated. Once gene bins have been generated based upon sequence alignments, bins are "clone joined" based upon clone information. Clone joining occurs when the 5' sequence of one clone is present in one bin and the 3' sequence from the same clone is present in a different bin, indicating that the two bins should be merged into a single bin. Only bins which share at least two different clones are merged A resultant template sequence may contain either a partial or a full length open reading frame, or all or part of a genetic regulatory element. This vanation is due in part to the fact that the full length cDNAs of many genes are several hundred, and sometimes several thousand, bases in length. With current technology, cDNAs compnsing the coding regions of large genes cannot be cloned because of vector limitations, incomplete reverse transcnption of the mRNA, or incomplete "second strand" synthesis. Template sequences may be extended to include additional contiguous sequences derived from the parent RNA transcnpt using a variety of methods known to those of skill in the art Extension may thus be used to achieve the full length coding sequence of a gene Analysis of the cDNA Sequences The cDNA sequences are analyzed using a variety of programs and algorithms which are well known in the art. (See, e.g , Ausubel, 1997, supra. Chapter 1.1, Meyers, R.A. (Ed ) ( 1995) Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Wiley VCH, New York NY, pp 856-853, and Table 5 ) These analyses comprise both reading frame determinations, e.g., based on tπplet codon periodicity for particular organisms (Fickett, J W ( 1982) Nucleic Acids Res. 10:5303-5318), analyses of potential start and stop codons, and homology searches Computer programs known to those of skill in the art for performing computer-assisted searches for amino acid and nucleic acid sequence similarity, include, for example, Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST; Altschul, S.F ( 1993) J. Mol. Evol. 36:290-300; Altschul, S F. et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410). BLAST is especially useful in determining exact matches and comparing two sequence fragments of arbitrary but equal lengths, whose alignment is locally maximal and for which the alignment score meets or exceeds a threshold or cutoff score set by the user (Karlin, S. et al. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:841-845). Using an appropnate search tool (e.g., BLAST or HMM), GenBank, SwissProt, BLOCKS, PFAM and other databases may be searched for sequences containing regions of homology to a query mddt or MDDT of the present invention.

Relating to Biomolecular Sequences," U S S N 09/034,807, filed March 4, 1998, all of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety Protein hierarchies can be assigned to the putative encoded polypeptide based on, e g , motif, BLAST, or biological analysis Methods for assigning these hierarchies are descnbed, for example, in "Database System Employing Protein Function Hierarchies for Viewing Biomolecular Sequence Data," U S S N 08/812,290, filed March 6, 1997, incorporated herein by reference Human Disease Detection and Treatment Molecule Sequences The mddt of the present invention may be used for a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic purposes For example, an mddt may be used to diagnose a particular condition, disease, or disorder associated with disease detection and treatment molecules Such conditions, diseases, and disorders include, but are not limited to, a cell proliferative disorder, such as actinic keratosis, arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, bursitis, cirrhosis, hepatitis, mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), myelofibrosis, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuπa, polycythemia vera, psoriasis, primary thrombocythemia, and cancers including adenocarcinoma, leukemia, lymphoma, melanoma, myeloma, sarcoma, teratocarcinoma, and, in particular, a cancer of the adrenal gland, bladder, bone, bone marrow, brain, breast, cervix, gall bladder, ganglia, gastrointestinal tract, heart, kidney, liver, lung, muscle, ovary, pancreas, parathyroid, penis, prostate, salivary glands, skin, spleen, testis, thymus, thyroid, and uterus and an autoimmune/inflammatory disorder, such as actinic keratosis, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), Addison's disease, adult respiratory distress syndrome, allergies, ankylosing spondyhtis, amyloidosis, anemia, arteriosclerosis, asthma, atherosclerosis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, autoimmune thyroiditis, bronchitis, bursitis, cholecystitis, cirrhosis, contact dermatitis, Crohn's disease, atopic dermatitis, dermatomyositis, diabetes mel tus, emphysema, erythroblastosis feta s, erythema nodosum, atrophic gastntis, glomerulonephπtis, Goodpasture's syndrome, gout, Graves' disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuπa, hepatitis, hypereosinophiha, lrntable bowel syndrome, episodic lymphopenia with lymphocytotoxins, mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), multiple sclerosis, myasthema gravis, myocardial or pencardial inflammation, myelofibrosis, osteoarthntis, osteoporosis, pancreatitis, polycythemia vera, polymyositis, psoriasis, Reiter's syndrome, rheumatoid arthntis, scleroderma, Sjogren's syndrome, systemic anaphylaxis, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, pnmary thrombocythemia, thrombocytopenic purpura, ulcerative colitis, uveitis, Werner syndrome, complications of cancer, hemodialysis, and extracorporeal circulation, trauma, and hematopoietic cancer including lymphoma, leukemia, and myeloma The mddt can be used to detect the presence of, or to quantify the amount of, an mddt-related polynucleotide in a sample This information is then compared to information obtained from appropnate reference samples, and a diagnosis is established Alternatively, a polynucleotide complementary to a given mddt can inhibit or inactivate a therapeutically relevant gene related to the mddt Analysis of mddt Expression Patterns The expression of mddt may be routinely assessed by hybridization-based methods to determine, for example, the tissue-specificity, disease-specificity, or developmental stage-specificity of mddt expression For example, the level of expression of mddt may be compared among different cell types or tissues, among diseased and normal cell types or tissues, among cell types or tissues at different developmental stages, or among cell types or tissues undergoing various treatments This type of analysis is useful, for example, to assess the relative levels of mddt expression in fully or partiallv differentiated cells or tissues, to determine if changes in mddt expression levels are correlated with the development or progression of specific disease states, and to assess the response of a cell or tissue to a specific therapy, for example, in pharmacological or toxicological studies Methods for the analysis of mddt expression are based on hybridization and amplification technologies and include membrane-based procedures such as northern blot analysis, high-throughput procedures that utilize, for example, microarrays, and PCR-based procedures Hybridization and Genetic Analysis The mddt, their fragments, or complementary sequences, may be used to identify the presence of and/or to determine the degree of similarity between two (or more) nucleic acid sequences The mddt may be hybridized to naturally occurring or recombinant nucleic acid sequences under appropnately selected temperatures and salt concentrations Hybridization with a probe based on the nucleic acid sequence of at least one of the mddt allows for the detection of nucleic acid sequences, including genomic sequences, which are identical or related to the mddt of the Sequence Listing Probes may be selected from non-conserved or unique regions of at least one of the polynucleotides of SEQ ID NO 1 -14 and tested for their ability to identify or amplify the target nucleic acid sequence using standard protocols Polynucleotide sequences that are capable of hybndizing, in particular, to those shown in SEQ ID NO 1-14 and fragments thereof, can be identified using vanous conditions of stringency (See, e g , Wahl, G M and S L Berger ( 1987) Methods Enzymol 152 399-407, Kimmel, A R ( 1987) Methods Enzymol 152 507-51 1 ) Hybndization conditions are discussed in "Definitions " A probe for use in Southern or northern hybridization may be denved from a fragment of an mddt sequence, or its complement, that is up to several hundred nucleotides in length and is either single-stranded or double-stranded Such probes may be hybridized in solution to biological materials such as plasmids, bactenal, yeast, or human artificial chromosomes, cleared or sectioned tissues, or to artificial substrates containing mddt Microarrays are particularly suitable for identifying the presence of and detecting the level of expression for multiple genes of interest by examining gene expression correlated with, e g , various stages of development, treatment with a drug or compound, or disease progression An array analogous to a dot or slot blot may be used to arrange and link polynucleotides to the surface of a substrate using one or more of the following mechanical (vacuum), chemical, thermal, or UV bonding procedures Such an array may contain any number of mddt and may be produced by hand or by using available devices, materials, and machines Microarrays may be prepared, used, and analyzed using methods known in the art (See, e g , Brennan, T M et al (1995) U S Patent No 5,474,796, Schena, M et al (1996) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 93 10614-10619, Baldeschweιler et al (1995) PCT application W095/251 1 16, Shalon, D et al (1995) PCT application WO95/35505, Heller, R A et al (1997) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 94 2150- 2155, and Heller, M J et al (1997) U S Patent No 5,605,662 ) Probes may be labeled by either PCR or enzymatic techniques using a vanety of commercially available reporter molecules For example, commercial kits are available for radioactive and chemiluminescent labeling (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) and for alkaline phosphatase labeling (Life Technologies) Alternatively, mddt may be cloned into commercially available vectors for the production of RNA probes Such probes may be transcribed in the presence of at least one labeled nucleotide (e g , 32 P-ATP, Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) Additionally the polynucleotides of SEQ ID NO 1-14 or suitable fragments thereof can be used to isolate full length cDNA sequences utilizing hybridization and/or amplification procedures well known in the art, e g , cDNA library screening, PCR amplification, etc The molecular cloning of such full length cDNA sequences may employ the method of cDNA library screening with probes using the hybridization, stnngency, washing, and probing strategies described above and in Ausubel, supra. Chapters 3, 5, and 6 These procedures may also be employed with genomic libraries to isolate genomic sequences of mddt in order to analyze, e g , regulatory elements Genetic Mapping Gene identification and mapping are important in the investigation and treatment of almost all conditions, diseases, and disorders Cancer, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, arthntis, diabetes, and mental illnesses are of particular interest Each of these conditions is more complex than the single gene defects of sickle cell anemia or cystic fibrosis, with select groups of genes being predictive of predisposition for a particular condition, disease, or disorder For example, cardiovascular disease may result from malfunctioning receptor molecules that fail to clear cholesterol from the bloodstream, and diabetes may result when a particular individual's immune system is activated by an infection and attacks the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. In some studies, Alzheimer's disease has been linked to a gene on chromosome 21 ; other studies predict a different gene and location. Mapping of disease genes is a complex and reiterative process and generally proceeds from genetic linkage analysis to physical mapping As a condition is noted among members of a family, a genetic linkage map traces parts of chromosomes that are inhented in the same pattern as the condition Statistics link the inheritance of particular conditions to particular regions of chromosomes, as defined by RFLP or other markers. (See, for example, Lander, E. S. and Botstein, D. (1986) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83:7353-7357.) Occasionally, genetic markers and their locations are known from previous studies More often, however, the markers are simply stretches of DNA that differ among individuals. Examples of genetic linkage maps can be found in various scientific journals or at the Online Mendehan Inheritance in Man (OMIM) World Wide Web site. In another embodiment of the invention, mddt sequences may be used to generate hybndization probes useful in chromosomal mapping of naturally occurring genomic sequences. Either coding or noncodmg sequences of mddt may be used, and in some instances, noncoding sequences may be preferable over coding sequences For example, conservation of an mddt coding sequence among members of a multi-gene family may potentially cause undesired cross hybridization during chromosomal mapping. The sequences may be mapped to a particular chromosome, to a specific region of a chromosome, or to artificial chromosome constructions, e.g., human artificial chromosomes (HACs), yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs), bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), bacterial PI constructions, or single chromosome cDNA libraries (See, e.g., Harnngton, J.J. et al. ( 1997) Nat. Genet. 15 345-355, Price, C.MJ 1993) Blood Rev 7 127-134; and Trask, B j ( 1991) Trends Genet. 7J49-154.) Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) may be correlated with other physical chromosome mapping techniques and genetic map data. (See, e.g., Meyers, supra, pp. 965-968.) Correlation between the location of mddt on a physical chromosomal map and a specific disorder, or a predisposition to a specific disorder, may help define the region of DNA associated with that disorder. The mddt sequences may also be used to detect polymorphisms that are genetically linked to the inheπtance of a particular condition, disease, or disorder. In situ hybndization of chromosomal preparations and genetic mapping techniques, such as linkage analysis using established chromosomal markers, may be used for extending existing genetic maps. Often the placement of a gene on the chromosome of another mammalian species, such as mouse, may reveal associated markers even if the number or arm of the corresponding human chromosome is not known. These new marker sequences can be mapped to human chromosomes and may provide valuable information to investigators searching for disease genes using positional cloning or other gene discovery techniques Once a disease or syndrome has been crudely correlated by genetic linkage with a particular genomic region, e g , ataxia-telangiectasia to 1 lq22-23, any sequences mapping to that area may represent associated or regulatory genes for further investigation (See, e g , Gatti, R A et al ( 1988) Nature 336 577-580 ) The nucleotide sequences of the subject invention may also be used to detect differences in chromosomal architecture due to translocation, inversion, etc , among normal, earner, or affected individuals Once a disease-associated gene is mapped to a chromosomal region, the gene must be cloned in order to identify mutations or other alterations (e g , translocations or inversions) that may be correlated with disease This process requires a physical map of the chromosomal region containing the disease-gene of interest along with associated markers A physical map is necessary for determining the nucleotide sequence of and order of marker genes on a particular chromosomal region Physical mapping techniques are well known in the art and require the generation of overlapping sets of cloned DNA fragments from a particular organelle, chromosome, or genome These clones are analyzed to reconstruct and catalog their order Once the position of a marker is determined, the DNA from that region is obtained by consulting the catalog and selecting clones from that region The gene of interest is located through positional cloning techniques using hybridization or similar methods Diagnostic Uses The mddt of the present invention may be used to design probes useful in diagnostic assays Such assays, well known to those skilled in the art, may be used to detect or confirm conditions, disorders, or diseases associated with abnormal levels of mddt expression Labeled probes developed from mddt sequences are added to a sample under hybridizing conditions of desired stringency In some instances, mddt, or fragments or oligonucleotides derived from mddt, may be used as primers in amplification steps prior to hybridization The amount of hybridization complex formed is quantified and compared with standards for that cell or tissue If mddt expression vanes significantly from the standard, the assay indicates the presence of the condition, disorder, or disease Qualitative or quantitative diagnostic methods may include northern, dot blot, or other membrane or dip-stick based technologies or multiple-sample format technologies such as PCR, enzyme-linked lmmunosorbent assay (ELISA)- ke, pin, or chip-based assays The probes described above may also be used to monitor the progress of conditions, disorders, or diseases associated with abnormal levels of mddt expression, or to evaluate the efficacy of a particular therapeutic treatment The candidate probe may be identified from the mddt that are specific to a given human tissue and have not been observed in GenBank or other genome databases Such a probe may be used in animal studies, prechnical tests, clinical trials, or in monitoring the treatment of an individual patient In a typical process, standard expression is established by methods well known in the art for use as a basis of comparison, samples from patients affected by the disorder or disease are combined with the probe to evaluate any deviation from the standard profile, and a therapeutic agent is administered and effects are monitored to generate a treatment profile Efficacy is evaluated by determining whether the expression progresses toward or returns to the standard normal pattern Treatment profiles may be generated over a penod of several days or several months Statistical methods well known to those skilled in the art may be use to determine the significance of such therapeutic agents The polynucleotides are also useful for identifying individuals from minute biological samples, for example, by matching the RFLP pattern of a sample's DNA to that of an individual's DNA The polynucleotides of the present invention can also be used to determine the actual base-by-base DNA sequence of selected portions of an individual's genome These sequences can be used to prepare PCR pnmers for amplifying and isolating such selected DNA, which can then be sequenced Using this technique, an individual can be identified through a unique set of DNA sequences Once a unique ID database is established for an individual, positive identification of that individual can be made from extremely small tissue samples In a particular aspect, oligonucleotide primers derived from the mddt of the invention may be used to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) SNPs are substitutions, insertions and 0 deletions that are a frequent cause of inherited or acquired genetic disease in humans Methods of SNP detection include, but are not limited to, single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and fluorescent SSCP (fSSCP) methods In SSCP, oligonucleotide primers derived from the polynucleotide sequences encoding MDDT are used to amplify DNA using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) The DNA may be derived, for example, from diseased or normal tissue, biopsy 5 samples, bodily fluids, and the like SNPs in the DNA cause differences in the secondary and tertiary structures of PCR products in single-stranded form, and these differences are detectable using gel electrophoresis in non-denatunng gels In fSCCP, the oligonucleotide primers are fluorescently labeled, which allows detection of the amp mers in high-throughput equipment such as DNA sequencing machines Additionally, sequence database analysis methods, termed in silico SNP o (isSNP), are capable of identifying polymorphisms by comparing the sequence of individual overlapping DNA fragments which assemble into common consensus sequences These computer- based methods filter out sequence variations due to laboratory preparation of DNA and sequencing errors using statistical models and automated analyses of DNA sequence chromatograms In the alternative, SNPs may be detected and characterized by mass spectrometry using, for example, the 5 high throughput MASSARRAY system (Sequenom, Inc , San Diego CA) DNA-based identification techniques are critical in forensic technology DNA sequences taken from very small biological samples such as tissues, e g , hair or skin, or body fluids, e g , blood, saliva, semen, etc , can be amplified using, e g , PCR, to identify individuals (See, e g , Erhch, H (1992) PCR Technology, Freeman and Co , New York, NY) Similarly, polynucleotides of the present invention can be used as polymorphic markers There is also a need for reagents capable of identifying the source of a particular tissue Appropriate reagents can comprise, for example, DNA probes or primers prepared from the sequences of the present invention that are specific for particular tissues Panels of such reagents can identify tissue by species and/or by organ type In a similar fashion, these reagents can be used to screen tissue cultures for contamination The polynucleotides of the present invention can also be used as molecular weight markers on nucleic acid gels or Southern blots, as diagnostic probes for the presence of a specific mRNA in a particular cell type, in the creation of subtracted cDNA libraries which aid in the discovery of novel polynucleotides, in selection and synthesis of oligomers for attachment to an anay or other support, and as an antigen to elicit an immune response Disease Model Systems Using mddt The mddt of the invention or their mammalian ho ologs may be "knocked out" in an animal model system using homologous recombination in embryonic stem (ES) cells Such techniques are well known in the art and are useful for the generation of animal models of human disease (See, e g , U S Patent Number 5, 175,383 and U S Patent Number 5,767,337 ) For example, mouse ES cells, such as the mouse 129/SvJ cell line, are derived from the early mouse embryo and grown in culture The ES cells are transformed with a vector containing the gene of interest disrupted by a marker gene, e g , the neomycin phosphotransferase gene (neo, Capecchi, M R ( 1989) Science 244 1288-1292) The vector integrates into the conesponding region of the host genome by homologous recombination Alternatively, homologous recombination takes place using the Cre-loxP system to knockout a gene of interest in a tissue- or developmental stage-specific manner (Marth, J D ( 1996) Chn Invest 97 1999-2002, Wagner, K U et al ( 1997) Nucleic Acids Res 25 4323-4330) Transformed ES cells are identified and microinjected into mouse cell blastocysts such as those from the C57BL/6 mouse strain The blastocysts are surgically transferred to pseudopregnant dams, and the resulting chimeric progeny are genotyped and bred to produce heterozygous or homozygous strains Transgenic animals thus generated may be tested with potential therapeutic or toxic agents The mddt of the invention may also be manipulated in vitro in ES cells denved from human blastocysts Human ES cells have the potential to differentiate into at least eight separate cell lineages including endoderm, mesoderm, and ectodermal cell types These cell lineages differentiate into, for example, neural cells, hematopoietic lineages, and cardiomyocytes (Thomson, J A et al ( 1998) Science 282 1 145-1 147) The mddt of the invention can also be used to create "knockin" humanized animals (pigs) or transgenic animals (mice or rats) to model human disease With knockin technology, a region of mddt is injected into animal ES cells, and the injected sequence integrates into the animal cell genome Transformed cells are injected into blastulae, and the blastulae are implanted as descnbed above Transgenic progeny or inbred lines are studied and treated with potential pharmaceutical agents to obtain information on treatment of a human disease Alternatively, a mammal inbred to overexpress mddt, resulting, e g , in the secretion of MDDT in its milk, may also serve as a convenient source of that protein (Janne, J et al ( 1998) Biotechnol Annu Rev 4 55-74) Screening Assays MDDT encoded by polynucleotides of the present invention may be used to screen for molecules that bind to or are bound by the encoded polypeptides The binding of the polypeptide and the molecule may activate (agonist), increase, inhibit (antagonist), or decrease activity of the polypeptide or the bound molecule Examples of such molecules include antibodies, oligonucleotides, proteins (e g , receptors), or small molecules Preferably, the molecule is closely related to the natural ligand of the polypeptide, e g , a ligand or fragment thereof, a natural substrate, or a structural or functional mimetic (See, Cohgan et al , ( 1991 ) Current Protocols in Immunology 1 (2) Chapter 5 ) Similarly, the molecule can be closely related to the natural receptor to which the polypeptide binds, or to at least a fragment of the receptor, e g , the active site In either case, the molecule can be rationally designed using known techniques Preferably, the screening for these molecules involves producing appropnate cells which express the polypeptide, either as a secreted protein or on the cell membrane Preferred cells include cells from mammals, yeast, Drosophila, or E coli Cells expressing the polypeptide or cell membrane fractions which contain the expressed polypeptide are then contacted with a test compound and binding, stimulation, or inhibition of activity of either the polypeptide or the molecule is analyzed An assay may simply test binding of a candidate compound to the polypeptide, wherein binding is detected by a fluorophore, radioisotope, enzyme conjugate, or other detectable label Alternatively, the assay may assess binding in the presence of a labeled competitor Additionally, the assay can be earned out using cell-free preparations, polypeptide/molecule affixed to a solid support, chemical hbranes, or natural product mixtures The assay may also simply compnse the steps of mixing a candidate compound with a solution containing a polypeptide, measunng polypeptide/molecule activity or binding, and companng the polypeptide/molecule activity or binding to a standard Preferably, an ELISA assay using, e g., a monoclonal or polyclonal antibody, can measure polypeptide level in a sample The antibody can measure polypeptide level by either binding, directly or indirectly, to the polypeptide or by competing with the polypeptide for a substrate All of the above assays can be used in a diagnostic or prognostic context. The molecules discovered using these assays can be used to treat disease or to bπng about a particular result in a patient (e g , blood vessel growth) by activating or inhibiting the polypeptide/molecule Moreover, the assays can discover agents which may inhibit or enhance the production of the polypeptide from suitably manipulated cells or tissues. Transcript Imaging Another embodiment relates to the use of mddt to develop a transcript image of a tissue or cell type A transcπpt image is the collective pattern of gene expression by a particular tissue or cell type under given conditions and at a given time This pattern of gene expression is defined by the number of expressed genes, their abundance, and their function Thus the mddt of the present invention may be used to develop a transcript image of a tissue or cell type by hybridizing, preferably in a microarray format, the mddt of the present invention to the totality of transcripts or reverse transcripts of a tissue or cell type. The resultant transcript image would provide a profile of gene activity pertaining to disease detection and treatment Transcπpt images which profile mddt expression may be generated using transcripts isolated from tissues, cell lines, biopsies, or other biological samples. The transcript image may thus reflect mddt expression in vivo, as in the case of a tissue or biopsy sample, or in vitro, as in the case of a cell line Transcript images may be used to profile mddt expression in distinct tissue types This process can be used to determine disease detection and treatment molecule activity in a particular tissue type relative to this activity in a different tissue type Transcript images may be used to generate a profile of mddt expression charactenstic of diseased tissue. Transcript images of tissues before and after treatment may be used for diagnostic purposes, to monitor the progression of disease, and to monitor the efficacy of drug treatments for diseases which affect the activity of disease detection and treatment molecules. Transcript images which profile mddt expression may also be used in conjunction with in vitro model systems and prechnical evaluation of pharmaceuticals. Transcript images of cell lines can be used to assess disease detection and treatment molecule activity and/or to identify cell lines that lack or misregulate this activity. Such cell lines may then be treated with pharmaceutical agents, and a transcript image following treatment may indicate the efficacy of these agents in restoring desired levels of this activity. A similar approach may be used to assess the toxicity of pharmaceutical agents as reflected by undesirable changes in disease detection and treatment molecule activity Candidate pharmaceutical agents may be evaluated by comparing their associated transcπpt images with those of pharmaceutical agents of known effectiveness Antisense Molecules The polynucleotides of the present invention are useful in antisense technology Antisense technology or therapy relies on the modulation of expression of a target protein through the specific binding of an antisense sequence to a target sequence encoding the target protein or directing its expression (See, e g , Agrawal, S , ed (1996) Antisense Therapeutics, Humana Press Inc , Totawa NJ , Alama, A et al ( 1997) Pharmacol Res 36(3) 171 - 178, Crooke, S T ( 1997) Adv Pharmacol 40 1-49, Sharma, H W and R Narayanan ( 1995) Bioessays 17( 12) 1055-1063, and Lavrosky, Y et al ( 1997) Biochem Mol Med 62( 1 ) 1 1-22 ) An antisense sequence is a polynucleotide sequence capable of specifically hybndizing to at least a portion of the target sequence Antisense sequences bind to cellular mRNA and/or genomic DNA, affecting translation and/or transcription Antisense sequences can be DNA, RNA, or nucleic acid mimics and analogs (See, e g , Rossi, J J et al ( 1991 ) Antisense Res Dev 1 (3) 285-288, Lee, R et al ( 1998) Biochemistry 37(3) 900- 1010, Pardπdge, W M et al ( 1995) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 92( 12) 5592-5596, and Nielsen, P E and Haaima, G ( 1997) Chem Soc Rev 96 73-78 ) Typically, the binding which results in modulation of expression occurs through hybndization or binding of complementary base pairs Antisense sequences can also bind to DNA duplexes through specific interactions in the major groove of the double helix The polynucleotides of the present invention and fragments thereof can be used as antisense sequences to modify the expression of the polypeptide encoded by mddt The antisense sequences can be produced ex vivo, such as by using any of the ABI nucleic acid synthesizer senes (PE Biosystems) or other automated systems known in the art Antisense sequences can also be produced biologically, such as by transforming an appropriate host cell with an expression vector containing the sequence of interest (See, e g , Agrawal, supra ) In therapeutic use, any gene delivery system suitable for introduction of the antisense sequences into appropriate target cells can be used Antisense sequences can be delivered intracellularly in the form of an expression plasmid which, upon transcnption, produces a sequence complementary to at least a portion of the cellular sequence encoding the target protein (See, e g , Slater, J E , et al ( 1998) J Allergy Chn Immunol 102(3) 469-475, and Scanlon, K J , et al (1995) 9(13) 1288-1296 ) Antisense sequences can also be introduced intracellularly through the use of viral vectors, such as retrovirus and adeno-associated virus vectors (See, e g , Miller, A D ( 1990) Blood 76 271 , Ausubel, F M et al ( 1995) Cunent Protocols in Molecular Biology. John Wiley & Sons. New York NY, Uckert, W and W Walther ( 1994) Pharmacol Ther 63(3) 323-347 ) Other gene delivery mechanisms include posome-deπved systems, artificial viral envelopes, and other systems known in the art (See, e g , Rossi, J J. ( 1995) Br Med. Bull 51 ( l ).217-225, Boado, R.J. et al. ( 1998) J. Pharm. Sci. 87( 1 1) 1308-1315; and Morns, M.C. et al. ( 1997) Nucleic Acids Res. 25(14):2730- 2736.) Expression In order to express a biologically active MDDT, the nucleotide sequences encoding MDDT or fragments thereof may be inserted into an appropnate expression vector, i.e., a vector which contains the necessary elements for transcπptional and translational control of the inserted coding sequence in a suitable host. Methods which are well known to those skilled in the art may be used to construct expression vectors containing sequences encoding MDDT and appropriate transcπptional and translational control elements. These methods include in vitro recombinant DNA techniques, synthetic techniques, and in vivo genetic recombination (See, e g , Sambrook, supra. Chapters 4, 8, 16, and 17, and Ausubel, supra. Chapters 9, 10, 13, and 16.) A variety of expression vector/host systems may be utilized to contain and express sequences encoding MDDT. These include, but are not limited to, microorganisms such as bacteria transformed with recombinant bacteriophage, plasmid, or cosrrud DNA expression vectors, yeast transformed with yeast expression vectors, insect cell systems infected with viral expression vectors (e.g , baculovirus), plant cell systems transformed with viral expression vectors (e.g , cauliflower mosaic virus, CaMV, or tobacco mosaic virus, TMV) or with bacterial expression vectors (e.g., Ti or pBR322 plasmids); or animal (mammalian) cell systems. (See, e.g., Sambrook, supra; Ausubel, 1995, supra. Van Heeke, G. and S.M. Schuster ( 1989) J. Biol Chem. 264:5503-5509; Bitter, G.A et al. ( 1987) Methods Enzymol. 153:516-544, Scorer, CA. et al. ( 1994) Bio/Technology 12.181-184, Engelhard, E.K. et al. ( 1994) Proc Natl. Acad Sci. USA 91 J224-3227; Sandig, V. et al. ( 1996) Hum. Gene Ther. 7 1937-1945; Takamatsu, N. ( 1987) EMBO J 6.307-31 1 , Coruzzi, G. et al. ( 1984) EMBO J 3: 1671 -1680; Brog e, R. et al. ( 1984) Science 224:838-843, Winter, J. et al. ( 1991 ) Results Probl. Cell Differ 17:85-105; The McGraw Hill Yearbook of Science and Technology ( 1992) McGraw Hill, New York NY, pp. 191-196, Logan, J. and T. Shenk ( 1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81 :3655-3659; and Harπngton, J J. et al. (1997) Nat. Genet. 15J45-355 ) Expression vectors derived from retroviruses, adenoviruses, or heφes or vaccinia viruses, or from various bacterial plasmids, may be used for delivery of nucleotide sequences to the targeted organ, tissue, or cell population. (See, e.g., Di Nicola, M. et al. ( 1998) Cancer Gen. Ther. 5(6) 350-356; Yu, M. et al., ( 1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA 90(13):6340-6344; Buller, R.M. et al. ( 1985) Nature 317(6040) 813-815; McGregor, D.P et al (1994) Mol. Immunol. 31(3).219-226; and Verma, I.M. and N. Somia ( 1997) Nature 389.239-242 ) The invention is not limited by the host cell employed. For long term production of recombinant proteins in mammalian systems, stable expression of MDDT in cell lines is preferred. For example, sequences encoding MDDT can be transformed into cell lines using expression vectors which may contain viral origins of replication and/or endogenous expression elements and a selectable marker gene on the same or on a separate vector Any number of selection systems may be used to recover transformed cell lines. (See, e.g., Wigler, M. et al (1977) Cell 1 1.223-232; Lowy, I. et al. ( 1980) Cell 22:817-823., Wigler, M. et al. ( 1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77J567-3570; Colbere-Garapin, F. et al. (1981 ) J. Mol Biol 150 1-14, Hartman, S.C and R.C.Mulligan (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:8047-8051 , Rhodes, CA. ( 1995) Methods Mol Biol. 55: 121-131.) Therapeutic Uses of mddt The mddt of the invention may be used for somatic or germline gene therapy Gene therapy may be performed to (I) correct a genetic deficiency (e.g., in the cases of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)-Xl disease characterized by X-hnked inheritance (Cavazzana-Calvo, M. et al. (2000) Science 288.669-672), severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome associated with an inherited adenosine deam ase (ADA) deficiency (Blaese, R.M. et al. ( 1995) Science 270 475-480, Bordignon, C. et al ( 1995) Science 270:470-475), cystic fibrosis (Zabner, J. et al. ( 1993) Cell 75:207- 216; Crystal, R G. et al. ( 1995) Hum. Gene Therapy 6.643-666; Crystal, R.G. et al ( 1995) Hum. Gene Therapy 6.667-703), thalassemias, familial hypercholesterolemia, and hemophilia resulting from Factor VIII or Factor IX deficiencies (Crystal, R.G. ( 1995) Science 270-404-410, Verma, I M and Somia, N ( 1997) Nature 389.239-242)), (n) express a conditionally lethal gene product (e g , in the case of cancers which result from unregulated cell proliferation), or (in) express a protein which affords protection against intracellular parasites (e.g., against human retroviruses, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (Baltimore, D. ( 1988) Nature 335:395-396, Poeschla, E. et al ( 1996) Proc Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 93J 1395-1 1399), hepatitis B or C virus (HBV, HCV), fungal parasites, such as Candida albicans and Paracoccidioides brasiliensis; and protozoan parasites such as Plasmodium falciparum and Trypanosoma cruzi). In the case where a genetic deficiency in mddt expression or regulation causes disease, the expression of mddt from an appropπate population of transduced cells may alleviate the clinical manifestations caused by the genetic deficiency In a further embodiment of the invention, diseases or disorders caused by deficiencies in mddt are treated by constructing mammalian expression vectors compnsing mddt and introducing these vectors by mechanical means into mddt-deficient cells. Mechanical transfer technologies for use with cells in vivo or ex vitro include (l) direct DNA microinjection into individual cells, (n) ballistic gold particle delivery, (in) liposome-mediated transfection, (IV) receptor-mediated gene transfer, and (v) the use of DNA transposons (Morgan, R. A. and Anderson, W.F ( 1993) Annu Rev Biochem. 62.191-217; Ivies, Z. ( 1997) Cell 91 :501-510; Boulay, J-L. and Recipon, H. ( 1998) OUT. Opm. Biotechnol 9.445-450). Expression vectors that may be effective for the expression of mddt include, but are not limited to, the PCDNA 3J, EPITAG, PRCCMV2, PREP, PVAX vectors (Invitrogen, Carlsbad CA), PCMV-SCRIPT, PCMV-TAG, PEGSH/PERV (Stratagene, La Jolla CA), and PTET-OFF, PTET-ON, PTRE2, PTRE2-LUC, PTK-HYG (Clontech, Palo Alto CA). The mddt of the invention may be expressed using (I) a constitutively active promoter, (e.g., from cytomegalovirus (CMV), Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), SV40 virus, thymidine kinase (TK), or β-actin genes), (n) an inducible promoter (e.g., the tetracycline-regulated promoter (Gossen, M. and Bujard, H. ( 1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 89:5547-5551 , Gossen, M. et al., ( 1995) Science 268 1766-1769; Rossi, F.M V. and Blau, H.M. ( 1998) Curr Opin. Biotechnol 9 451-456), commercially available in the T-REX plasmid (Invitrogen)); the ecdysone-inducible promoter (available in the plasmids PVGRXR and PIND, Invitrogen), the FK506/rapamycιn inducible promoter; or the RU486/mιfepπstone inducible promoter (Rossi, F M.V. and Blau, H.M supra)), or (iii) a tissue-specific promoter or the native promoter of the endogenous gene encoding MDDT from a normal individual. Commercially available hposome transformation kits (e.g., the PERFECT LIPID TRANSFECTION KIT, available from Invitrogen) allow one with ordinary skill in the art to deliver polynucleotides to target cells in culture and require minimal effort to optimize experimental parameters. In the alternative, transformation is performed using the calcium phosphate method (Graham, F.L. and Eb, A.J. ( 1973) Virology 52.456-467), or by electroporation (Neumann, E. et al. ( 1982) EMBO J 1.841-845) The introduction of DNA to primary cells requires modification of these standardized mammalian transfection protocols. In another embodiment of the invention, diseases or disorders caused by genetic defects with respect to mddt expression are treated by constructing a retrovirus vector consisting of (I) the mddt of the invention under the control of an independent promoter or the retrovirus long terminal repeat (LTR) promoter, (n) appropriate RNA packaging signals, and (in) a Rev-responsive element (RRE) along with additional retrovirus cts-actmg RNA sequences and coding sequences required for efficient vector propagation. Retrovirus vectors (e.g., PFB and PFBNEO) are commercially available (Stratagene) and are based on published data (Riviere, I. et al. ( 1995) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 92:6733-6737), incoφorated by reference herein. The vector is propagated in an appropriate vector producing cell line (VPCL) that expresses an envelope gene with a tropism for receptors on the target cells or a promiscuous envelope protein such as VSVg (Armentano, D. et al. ( 1987) J. Virol. 61 1647- 1650; Bender, M A. et al. ( 1987) J. Virol 61 J639-1646; Adam, M.A. and Miller, A.D. ( 1988) J Virol. 62.3802-3806; Dull, T et al. ( 1998) J. Virol. 72:8463-8471 , Zufferey, R. et al. ( 1998) J Virol 72:9873-9880) U.S. Patent Number 5,910,434 to Rigg ("Method for obtaining retrovirus packaging cell lines producing high transducing efficiency retroviral supernatant") discloses a method for obtaining retrovirus packaging cell lines and is hereby incoφorated by reference. Propagation of retrovirus vectors, transduction of a population of cells (e.g., CD4 + T-cells), and the return of transduced cells to a patient are procedures well known to persons skilled in the art of gene therapy and have been well documented (Ranga, U. et alJ 1997) J Virol. 71.7020-7029; Bauer, G. et al (1997) Blood 89:2259-2267, Bonyhadi, M.L. ( 1997) j. Virol. 71 :4707-4716; Ranga, U. et al. ( 1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 95: 1201-1206; Su, L. ( 1997) Blood 89:2283-2290) In the alternative, an adenovirus-based gene therapy delivery system is used to deliver mddt to cells which have one or more genetic abnormalities with respect to the expression of mddt. The construction and packaging of adenovirus-based vectors are well known to those with ordinary skill in the art. Replication defective adenovirus vectors have proven to be versatile for importing genes encoding immunoregulatory proteins into intact islets in the pancreas (Csete, M E. et al ( 1995) Transplantation 27.263-268) Potentially useful adenoviral vectors are descnbed in U S Patent Number 5,707,618 to Armentano ("Adenovirus vectors for gene therapy"), hereby incoφorated by reference For adenoviral vectors, see also Antinozzi, P.A. et al. ( 1999) Annu. Rev. Nutr. 19J 1 1-544 and Verma, I.M and Somia, N. (1997) Nature 18:389:239-242, both incoφorated by reference herein. In another alternative, a heφes-based, gene therapy delivery system is used to deliver mddt to target cells which have one or more genetic abnormalities with respect to the expression of mddt. The use of heφes simplex virus (HSV)-based vectors may be especially valuable for introducing mddt to cells of the central nervous system, for which HSV has a tropism. The construction and packaging of heφes-based vectors are well known to those with ordinary skill in the art. A replication-competent heφes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 -based vector has been used to deliver a reporter gene to the eyes of pπmates (Liu, X. et al ( 1999) Exp. Eye Res.169 385-395). The construction of a HSV-1 virus vector has also been disclosed in detail in U.S. Patent Number 5,804,413 to DeLuca ("Heφes simplex virus strains for gene transfer"), which is hereby incoφorated by reference. U.S. Patent Number 5,804,413 teaches the use of recombinant HSV d92 which consists of a genome containing at least one exogenous gene to be transfened to a cell under the control of the appropπate promoter for puφoses including human gene therapy. Also taught by this patent are the construction and use of recombinant HSV strains deleted for ICP4, ICP27 and ICP22. For HSV vectors, see also Goins, W F. et al. 1999 J. Virol. 73:519-532 and Xu, H. et al., ( 1994) Dev. Biol 163: 152-161 , hereby incoφorated by reference. The manipulation of cloned heφesvirus sequences, the generation of recombinant virus following the transfection of multiple plasmids containing different segments of the large heφesvirus genomes, the growth and propagation of heφesvirus, and the infection of cells with heφesvirus are techniques well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. In another alternative, an alphavirus (positive, single-stranded RNA virus) vector is used to deliver mddt to target cells The biology of the prototypic alphavirus, Semliki Forest Virus (SFV), has been studied extensively and gene transfer vectors have been based on the SFV genome (Garoff, H and Li, K-J (1998) OUT Opin Biotech 9 464-469) During alphavirus RNA replication, a subgenomic RNA is generated that normally encodes the viral capsid proteins This subgenorruc RNA replicates to higher levels than the full-length genomic RNA, resulting in the oveφroduction of capsid proteins relative to the viral proteins with enzymatic activity (e g , protease and polymerase) Similarly, inserting mddt into the alphavirus genome in place of the capsid-coding region results in the production of a large number of mddt RNAs and the synthesis of high levels of MDDT in vector transduced cells While alphavirus infection is typically associated with cell lysis within a few days, the ability to establish a persistent infection in hamster normal kidney cells (BHK-21 ) with a variant of Sindbis virus (SIN) indicates that the lytic replication of alphaviruses can be altered to suit the needs of the gene therapy application (Dryga, S A et al ( 1997) Virology 228 74-83) The wide host range of alphaviruses will allow the introduction of MDDT into a variety of cell types The specific transduction of a subset of cells in a population may require the sorting of cells prior to transduction The methods of manipulating infectious cDNA clones of alphaviruses, performing alphavirus cDNA and RNA transfections, and performing alphavirus infections, are well known to those with ordinary skill in the art Antibodies Anti-MDDT antibodies may be used to analyze protein expression levels Such antibodies include, but are not limited to, polyclonal, monoclonal, chimeric, single chain, and Fab fragments For descriptions of and protocols of antibody technologies, see, e g , Pound J D ( 1998) Immunochemical Protocols. Humana Press, Totowa, NJ The amino acid sequence encoded by the mddt of the Sequence Listing may be analyzed by appropπate software (e g , LASERGENE NAVIGATOR software, DNASTAR) to determine regions of high lmmunogenicity The optimal sequences for immunization are selected from the C-terminus, the N-terminus, and those intervening, hydrophihc regions of the polypeptide which are likely to be exposed to the external environment when the polypeptide is in its natural conformation Analysis used to select appropriate epitopes is also described by Ausubel ( 1997, supra. Chapter 1 1 7) Peptides used for antibody induction do not need to have biological activity, however, they must be antigenic Peptides used to induce specific antibodies may have an amino acid sequence consisting of at five amino acids, preferably at least 10 amino acids, and most preferably 15 amino acids A peptide which mimics an antigenic fragment of the natural polypeptide may be fused with another protein such as keyhole limpet cyanin (KLH, Sigma, St Louis MO) for antibody production A peptide encompassing an antigenic region may be expressed from an mddt, synthesized as described above, or purified from human cells Procedures well known in the art may be used for the production of antibodies Various hosts including mice, goats, and rabbits, may be immunized by injection with a peptide Depending on the host species, vaπous adjuvants may be used to increase immunological response In one procedure, peptides about 15 residues in length may be synthesized using an ABI 431 A peptide synthesizer (PE Biosystems) using fmoc-chemistry and coupled to KLH (Sigma) by reaction with M-maleimidobenzoyl-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (Ausubel, 1995, supra) Rabbits are immunized with the peptide-KLH complex in complete Freund's adjuvant The resulting antisera are tested for antipeptide activity by binding the peptide to plastic, blocking with 1 % bovine serum albumin (BSA), reacting with rabbit antisera, washing, and reacting with radioiodinated goat anti- rabbit IgG Antisera with antipeptide activity are tested for anti-MDDT activity using protocols well known in the art, including ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA), and lmmunoblotting In another procedure, isolated and purified peptide may be used to immunize mice (about 100 μg of peptide) or rabbits (about 1 mg of peptide) Subsequently, the peptide is radioiodinated and used to screen the immunized animals' B-lymphocytes for production of antipeptide antibodies Positive cells are then used to produce hybπdomas using standard techniques About 20 mg of peptide is sufficient for labeling and screening several thousand clones Hybπdomas of interest are detected by screening with radioiodinated peptide to identify those fusions producing peptide-specific monoclonal antibody In a typical protocol, wells of a multi-well plate (FAST, Becton-Dickinson, Palo Alto, CA) are coated with affinity-purified, specific rabbit-anti-mouse (or suitable anti-species IgG) antibodies at 10 mg/ml The coated wells are blocked with 1 % BSA and washed and exposed to supernatants from hybπdomas After incubation, the wells are exposed to radiolabeled peptide at 1 mg/ml Clones producing antibodies bind a quantity of labeled peptide that is detectable above background Such clones are expanded and subjected to 2 cycles of cloning Cloned hybπdomas are injected into pπstane-treated mice to produce ascites, and monoclonal antibody is punfied from the ascitic fluid by affinity chromatography on protein A (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) Several procedures for the production of monoclonal antibodies, including in vitro production, are descnbed in Pound (supra) Monoclonal antibodies with antipeptide activity are tested for anti-MDDT activity using protocols well known in the art, including ELISA, RIA, and lmmunoblotting Antibody fragments containing specific binding sites for an epitope may also be generated For example, such fragments include, but are not limited to, the F(ab')2 fragments produced by pepsin digestion of the antibody molecule, and the Fab fragments generated by reducing the disulfide bridges of the F(ab')2 fragments Alternatively, construction of Fab expression braπes in filamentous bacteriophage allows rapid and easy identification of monoclonal fragments with desired specificity (Pound, supra. Chaps 45-47) Antibodies generated against polypeptide encoded by mddt can be used to puπfy and characterize full-length MDDT protein and its activity, binding partners, etc Assays Using Antibodies Anti-MDDT antibodies may be used in assays to quantify the amount of MDDT found in a particular human cell Such assays include methods utilizing the antibody and a label to detect expression level under normal or disease conditions The peptides and antibodies of the invention may be used with or without modification or labeled by joining them, either covalently or noncovalently, with a reporter molecule Protocols for detecting and measuring protein expression using either polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies are well known in the art Examples include ELISA, RIA, and fluorescent activated cell sorting (FACS) Such immunoassays typically involve the formation of complexes between the MDDT and its specific antibody and the measurement of such complexes These and other assays are described in Pound (supra) Without further elaboration, it is believed that one skilled in the art can, using the preceding description, utilize the present invention to its fullest extent The following preferred specific embodiments are, therefore, to be construed as merely illustrative, and not limitative of the remainder of the disclosure in any way whatsoever The disclosures of all patents, applications, and publications mentioned above and below, in particular U S Provisional Application No 60/137,412, filed June 3, 1999, U S Provisional Application No 60/147,542, filed August 5, 1999, U S Provisional Application No 60/147,501 , filed August 5, 1999, U S Provisional Application No 60/147,500, filed August 5, 1999 are hereby expressly incoφorated by reference EXAMPLES I. Construction of cDNA Libraries RNA was purchased from CLONTECH Laboratories, Inc (Palo Alto CA) or isolated from vanous tissues Some tissues were homogenized and lysed in guanidimum isothiocyanate, while others were homogenized and lysed in phenol or in a suitable mixture of denaturants, such as TRIZOL (Life Technologies), a monophasic solution of phenol and guamdine isothiocyanate The resulting lysates were centπfuged over CsCl cushions or extracted with chloroform RNA was precipitated with either isopropanol or sodium acetate and ethanol, or by other routine methods Phenol extraction and precipitation of RNA were repeated as necessary to increase RNA punty In most cases, RNA was treated with DNase For most libranes, poly(A+) RNA was isolated using oligo d(T)-coupled paramagnetic particles (Promega Coφoration (Promega), Madison WI), OLIGOTEX latex particles (QIAGEN, Inc (QIAGEN), Valencia CA), or an OLIGOTEX mRNA punfication kit (QIAGEN) Alternatively, RNA was isolated directly from tissue lysates using other RNA isolation kits, e g , the POLY(A)PURE mRNA purification kit (Ambion, Inc , Austin TX) In some cases, Stratagene was provided with RNA and constructed the coπesponding cDNA libranes Otherwise, cDNA was synthesized and cDNA libraries were constructed with the UNIZAP vector system (Stratagene Cloning Systems, Inc (Stratagene), La Jolla CA) or SUPERSCRIPT plasmid system (Life Technologies), using the recommended procedures or similar methods known in the art (See, e g , Ausubel, 1997, supra. Chapters 5 1 through 6 6 ) Reverse transcπption was initiated using oligo d(T) or random pnmers Synthetic oligonucleotide adapters were ligated to double stranded cDNA, and the cDNA was digested with the appropriate restriction enzyme or enzymes For most libraries, the cDNA was size-selected (300- 1000 bp) using SEPHACRYL S 1000, SEPHAROSE CL2B, or SEPHAROSE CL4B column chromatography (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) or preparative agarose gel electrophoresis cDNAs were ligated into compatible restriction enzyme sites of the polyhnker of a suitable plasmid, e g , PBLUESCRIPT plasmid (Stratagene), pSPORTl plasmid (Life Technologies), or pINCY (Incyte) Recombinant plasmids were transformed into competent E coli cells including XLl-Blue, XLl-BlueMRF, or SOLR from Stratagene or DH5α, DH10B, or ElectroMAX DH10B from Life Technologies II. Isolation of cDN A Clones Plasmids were recovered from host cells by in vivo excision using the UNIZAP vector system (Stratagene) or by cell lysis Plasmids were purified using at least one of the following the Magic or WIZARD Minipreps DNA purification system (Promega), the AGTC Mimprep purification kit (Edge BioSystems, Gaithersburg MD), and the QIAWELL 8, QIAWELL 8 Plus, and QIAWELL 8 Ultra plasmid purification systems or the R E A L PREP 96 plasmid purification kit (QIAGEN) Following precipitation, plasmids were resuspended in 0 1 ml of distilled water and stored, with or without lyophihzation, at 4°C Alternatively, plasmid DNA was amplified from host cell lysates using direct link PCR in a high-throughput format (Rao, V B ( 1994) Anal Biochem 216 1-14 ) Host cell lysis and thermal cycling steps were earned out in a single reaction mixture Samples were processed and stored in 384-well plates, and the concentration of amplified plasmid DNA was quantified fluorometπcally using PICOGREEN dye (Molecular Probes, Inc (Molecular Probes), Eugene OR) and a FLUOROSKAN II fluorescence scanner (Labsystems Oy, Helsinki, Finland) III. Sequencing and Analysis cDNA sequencing reactions were processed using standard methods or high-throughput instrumentation such as the ABI CATALYST 800 thermal cycler (PE Biosystems) or the PTC-200 thermal cycler (MJ Research) in conjunction with the HYDRA microdispenser (Robbins Scientific Coφ., Sunnyvale CA) or the MICROLAB 2200 liquid transfer system (Hamilton). cDNA sequencing reactions were prepared using reagents provided by Amersham Pharmacia Biotech or supplied in ABI sequencing kits such as the ABI PRISM BIGDYE Terminator cycle sequencing ready reaction kit (PE Biosystems). Electrophoretic separation of cDNA sequencing reactions and detection of labeled polynucleotides were earned out using the MEGABACE 1000 DNA sequencing system (Molecular Dynamics); the ABI PRISM 373 or 377 sequencing system (PE Biosystems) in conjunction with standard ABI protocols and base calling software; or other sequence analysis systems known in the art. Reading frames within the cDNA sequences were identified using standard methods (reviewed in Ausubel, 1997, supra. Chapter 1.1) Some of the cDNA sequences were selected for extension using the techniques disclosed in Example VIII IV. Assembly and Analysis of Sequences Component sequences from chromatograms were subject to PHRED analysis and assigned a quality score. The sequences having at least a required quality score were subject to vanous preprocessing editing pathways to eliminate, e.g., low quality 3' ends, vector and linker sequences, polyA tails, Alu repeats, mitochondnal and ribosomal sequences, bactenal contamination sequences, and sequences smaller than 50 base pairs. In particular, low-information sequences and repetitive elements (e.g., dinucleotide repeats, Alu repeats, etc.) were replaced by "n's", or masked, to prevent spurious matches. Processed sequences were then subject to assembly procedures in which the sequences were assigned to gene bins (bins). Each sequence could only belong to one bin. Sequences in each gene bin were assembled to produce consensus sequences (templates). Subsequent new sequences were added to existing bins using BLASTn (v.1 4 WashU) and CROSSMATCH. Candidate pairs were identified as all BLAST hits having a quality score greater than or equal to 150. Alignments of at least 82% local identity were accepted into the bin. The component sequences from each bin were assembled using a version of PHRAP. Bins with several overlapping component sequences were assembled using DEEP PHRAP. The orientation (sense or antisense) of each assembled template was determined based on the number and orientation of its component sequences. Template sequences as disclosed in the sequence listing correspond to sense strand sequences (the "forward" reading frames), to the best determination The complementary (antisense) strands are inherently disclosed herein The component sequences which were used to assemble each template consensus sequence are listed in Table 4, along with their positions along the template nucleotide sequences Bins were compared against each other and those having local similanty of at least 82% were combined and reassembled Reassembled bins having templates of insufficient overlap (less than 95% local identity) were re-split Assembled templates were also subject to analysis by STITCHER/EXON MAPPER algorithms which analyze the probabilities of the presence of splice variants, alternatively spliced exons, splice junctions, differential expression of alternative spliced genes across tissue types or disease states, etc These resulting bins were subject to several rounds of the above assembly procedures Once gene bins were generated based upon sequence alignments, bins were clone joined based upon clone information If the 5' sequence of one clone was present one bin and the 3' sequence from the same clone was present in a different bin, it was likely that the two bins actually belonged together in a single bin The resulting combined bins underwent assembly procedures to regenerate the consensus sequences The final assembled templates were subsequently annotated using the following procedure Template sequences were analyzed using BLASTn (v2 0, NCBI) versus gbpπ (GenBank version 1 16) "Hits" were defined as an exact match having from 95% local identity over 200 base pairs through 100% local identity over 100 base pairs, or a homolog match having an E-value, i e a probability score, of < 1 x 10 8 The hits were subject to frameshift FASTx versus GENPEPT (GenBank version 1 16) (See Table 5) In this analysis, a homolog match was defined as having an E-value of < 1 x 10 8 The assembly method used above was described in "System and Methods for Analyzing Biomolecular Sequences," U S S N 09/276,534, filed March 25, 1999, and the LIFESEQ Gold user manual (Incyte) both incoφorated by reference herein Following assembly, template sequences were subjected to motif, BLAST, and functional analyses, and categorized in protein hierarchies using methods descnbed in, e g , "Database System Employing Protein Function Hierarchies for Viewing Biomolecular Sequence Data," U S S N 08/812,290, filed March 6, 1997, "Relational Database for Storing Biomolecule Information;' U S S N 08/947,845, filed October 9, 1997, "Project-Based Full-Length Biomolecular Sequence Database," U S S N 08/81 1 ,758, filed March 6, 1997, and "Relational Database and System for Storing Information Relating to Biomolecular Sequences," U S S N 09/034,807, filed March 4, 1998, all of which are incoφorated by reference herein The template sequences were further analyzed by translating each template in all three forward reading frames and searching each translation against the Pfam database of hidden Markov model-based protein families and domains using the HMMER software package (available to the public from Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis MO) Regions of templates which, when translated, contain similarity to Pfam consensus sequences are reported in Table 2, along with descnptions of Pfam protein domains and families Only those Pfam hits with an E-value of < 1 x 10 3 are reported (See also World Wide Web site http //pfam wustl edu/ for detailed descriptions of Pfam protein domains and families ) Additionally, the template sequences were translated in all three forward reading frames, and each translation was searched against hidden Markov models for signal peptide and transmembrane domains using the HMMER software package Construction of hidden Markov models and their usage in sequence analysis has been descnbed (See, for example, Eddy, S R ( 1996) Cun Opin Str Biol 6 361-365 ) Regions of templates which, when translated, contain similanty to signal peptide or transmembrane domain consensus sequences are reported in Table 3 Only those signal peptide or transmembrane hits with a cutoff score of 1 1 bits or greater are reported A cutoff score of 1 1 bits or greater corresponds to at least about 91 -94% true-positives in signal peptide prediction, and at least about 75% true-positives in transmembrane domain prediction The results of HMMER analysis as reported in Tables 2 and 3 may support the results of BLAST analysis as reported in Table 1 or may suggest alternative or additional properties of template-encoded polypeptides not previously uncovered by BLAST or other analyses Template sequences are further analyzed using the bio formatics tools listed in Table 5, or using sequence analysis software known in the art such as MACDNASIS PRO software (Hitachi Software Engineenng, South San Francisco CA) and LASERGENE software (DNASTAR) Template sequences may be further queried against public databases such as the GenBank rodent, mammalian, vertebrate, prokaryote, and eukaryote databases V. Analysis of Polynucleotide Expression Northern analysis is a laboratory technique used to detect the presence of a transcript of a gene and involves the hybridization of a labeled nucleotide sequence to a membrane on which RNAs from a particular cell type or tissue have been bound (See, e g , Sambrook, supra, ch 7, Ausubel, 1995, supra, ch 4 and 16 ) Analogous computer techniques applying BLAST were used to search for identical or related molecules in cDNA databases such as GenBank or LEFESEQ (Incyte Pharmaceuticals) This analysis is much faster than multiple membrane-based hybridizations In addition, the sensitivity of the computer search can be modified to determine whether any particular match is categorized as exact or similar The basis of the search is the product score, which is defined as BLAST Score x Percent Identity 5 x minimum { length(Seq l)Jength(Seq 2) ] The product score takes into account both the degree of similarity between two sequences and the length of the sequence match The product score is a normalized value between 0 and 100, and is calculated as follows the BLAST score is multiplied by the percent nucleotide identity and the product is divided by (5 times the length of the shorter of the two sequences) The BLAST score is 5 calculated by assigning a score of +5 for every base that matches in a high-scoπng segment pair (HSP), and -4 for every mismatch Two sequences may share more than one HSP (separated by gaps) If there is more than one HSP, then the pair with the highest BLAST score is used to calculate the product score The product score represents a balance between fractional overlap and quality in a BLAST alignment For example, a product score of 100 is produced only for 100% identity over the 0 entire length of the shorter of the two sequences being compared A product score of 70 is produced either by 100% identity and 70% overlap at one end, or by 88% identity and 100% overlap at the other A product score of 50 is produced either by 100% identity and 50% overlap at one end, or 79% identity and 100% overlap 5 VI. Tissue Distribution Profiling A tissue distribution profile is determined for each template by compiling the cDNA library tissue classifications of its component cDNA sequences Each component sequence, is derived from a cDNA library constructed from a human tissue Each human tissue is classified into one of the following categones cardiovascular system, connective tissue, digestive system, embryonic 0 structures, endocnne system, exocrme glands, genitalia, female, genitalia, male, germ cells, hermc and immune system, liver, musculoskeletal system, nervous system, pancreas, respiratory system, sense organs, skin, stomatognathic system, unclassified/mixed, or urinary tract Template sequences, component sequences, and cDNA library/tissue information are found in the LIFESEQ GOLD database (Incyte Genomics, Palo Alto CA) 5 VII.

Extension of Polynucleotide Sequences and Isolation of a Full-length cDNA Oligonucleotide pnmers designed using an mddt of the Sequence Listing are used to extend the nucleic acid sequence One pnmer is synthesized to initiate 5' extension of the template, and the other pnmer, to initiate 3' extension of the template The initial primers may be designed using OLIGO 4 06 software (National Biosciences, Inc (National Biosciences), Plymouth MN), or another 5 appropriate program, to be about 22 to 30 nucleotides in length, to have a GC content of about 50% or more, and to anneal to the target sequence at temperatures of about 68 °C to about 72 °C Any stretch of nucleotides which would result in haiφin structures and pπmer-pnmer dimeπzations are avoided Selected human cDNA libraries are used to extend the sequence If more than one extension is necessary or desired, additional or nested sets of pnmers are designed High fidelity amplification is obtained by PCR using methods well known in the art PCR is performed in 96-well plates using the PTC-200 thermal cycler (MJ Research) The reaction mix contains DNA template, 200 nmol of each pnmer, reaction buffer containing Mg ,+ , (NH 4 ) 2 S0 4 , and β- mercaptoethanol, Taq DNA polymerase (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech), ELONGASE enzyme (Life Technologies), and Pfu DNA polymerase (Stratagene), with the following parameters for pnmer pair PCI A and PCI B Step 1 94°C, 3 min, Step 2 94°C, 15 sec, Step 3 60°C, 1 min, Step 4 68°C, 2 nun, Step 5 Steps 2, 3, and 4 repeated 20 times, Step 6 68 °C, 5 nun, Step 7 storage at 4°C In the alternative, the parameters for pnmer pair T7 and SK+ are as follows Step 1 94 C C, 3 min, Step 2 94°C, 15 sec. Step 3 57°C, 1 min. Step 4 68°C, 2 min, Step 5 Steps 2, 3, and 4 repeated 20 times, Step 6 68 °C, 5 mιn, Step 7 storage at 4°C The concentration of DNA in each well is determined by dispensing 100 μl PICOGREEN quantitation reagent (0 25% (v/v), Molecular Probes) dissolved in IX Tπs-EDTA (TE) and 0 5 μl of undiluted PCR product into each well of an opaque fluoπmeter plate (Corning Incoφorated (Corning), Corning NY), allowing the DNA to bind to the reagent The plate is scanned in a FLUOROSKAN II (Labsy stems Oy) to measure the fluorescence of the sample and to quantify the concentration of DNA A 5 μl to 10 μl aliquot of the reaction mixture is analyzed by electrophoresis on a 1 % agarose mini-gel to determine which reactions are successful in extending the sequence The extended nucleotides are desalted and concentrated, transferred to 384-well plates, digested with CviJI cholera virus endonuclease (Molecular Biology Research, Madison WI), and sonicated or sheared prior to re gation into pUC 18 vector (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) For shotgun sequencing, the digested nucleotides are separated on low concentration (0 6 to 0 8%) agarose gels, fragments are excised, and agar digested with AGAR ACE (Promega) Extended clones are rehgated using T4 ligase (New England Biolabs, Inc , Beverly MA) into pUC 18 vector (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech), treated with Pfu DNA polymerase (Stratagene) to fill-in restriction site overhangs, and transfected into competent E coli cells Transformed cells are selected on antibiotic-containing media, individual colonies are picked and cultured overnight at 37 °C in 384- well plates in LB/2x carbenicilhn liquid media The cells are lysed, and DNA is amplified by PCR using Taq DNA polymerase (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) and Pfu DNA polymerase (Stratagene) with the following parameters Step 1 94°C, 3 mm, Step 2 94°C, 15 sec, Step 3 60°C, 1 min, Step 4 72°C, 2 min, Step 5 steps 2, 3, and 4 repeated 29 times, Step 6 72 °C, 5 min, Step 7 storage at 4°C DNA is quantified by PICOGREEN reagent (Molecular Probes) as described above Samples with low DNA recoveries are reamphfied using the same conditions as descnbed above Samples are diluted with 20% dimethysulfoxide ( 1 2, v/v), and sequenced using DYENAMIC energy transfer sequencing pnmers and the DYENAMIC DIRECT kit (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) or the ABI PRISM BIGDYE Terminator cycle sequencing ready reaction kit (PE Biosystems) In like manner, the mddt is used to obtain regulatory sequences (promoters, introns, and enhancers) using the procedure above, oligonucleotides designed for such extension, and an appropriate genomic library IX. Labeling of Probes and Southern Hybridization Analyses Hybridization probes denved from the mddt of the Sequence Listing are employed for screening cDNAs, mRNAs, or genomic DNA The labeling of probe nucleotides between 100 and 1000 nucleotides in length is specifically described, but essentially the same procedure may be used with larger cDNA fragments Probe sequences are labeled at room temperature for 30 minutes using a T4 polynucleotide kinase, γ 32 P-ATP, and 0 5X One-Phor-All Plus (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) buffer and purified using a ProbeQuant G-50 Microcolumn (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) The probe mixture is diluted to 10 7 dpm/μg/ml hybridization buffer and used in a typical membrane-based hybndization analysis The DNA is digested with a restnction endonuclease such as Eco RV and is electrophoresed through a 0 7% agarose gel The DNA fragments are transfened from the agarose to nylon membrane (NYTRAN Plus, Schleicher & Schuell, Inc , Keene NH) using procedures specified by the manufacturer of the membrane Prehybπdization is earned out for three or more hours at 68 °C, and hybndization is earned out overnight at 68 °C To remove non-specific signals, blots are sequentially washed at room temperature under increasingly stnngent conditions, up to 0 lx saline sodium citrate (SSC) and 0 5% sodium dodecyl sulfate After the blots are placed in a PHOSPHORIMAGER cassette (Molecular Dynamics) or are exposed to autoradiography film, hybridization patterns of standard and experimental lanes are compared Essentially the same procedure is employed when screening RNA X. Chromosome Mapping of mddt The cDNA sequences which were used to assemble SEQ ID NO 1 -14 are compared with sequences from the Incyte LIFESEQ database and public domain databases using BLAST and other implementations of the Smith-Waterman algonthm Sequences from these databases that match SEQ ID NO 1 -14 are assembled into clusters of contiguous and overlapping sequences using assembly algorithms such as PHRAP (Table 5) Radiation hybπd and genetic mapping data available from public resources such as the Stanford Human Genome Center (SHGC), Whitehead Institute for Genome Research (WIGR), and Genethon are used to determine if any of the clustered sequences have been previously mapped Inclusion of a mapped sequence in a cluster will result in the assignment of all sequences of that cluster, including its particular SEQ ID NO , to that map location The genetic map locations of SEQ ID NO 1-14 are described as ranges, or intervals, of human chromosomes The map position of an interval, in centiMorgans, is measured relative to the terminus of the chromosome's p-arm (The centiMorgan (cM) is a unit of measurement based on recombination frequencies between chromosomal markers On average, 1 cM is roughly equivalent to 1 megabase (Mb) of DNA in humans, although this can vary widely due to hot and cold spots of recombination ) The cM distances are based on genetic markers mapped by Genethon which provide boundaries for radiation hybrid markers whose sequences were included in each of the clusters XI. Microarray Analysis Probe Preparation from Tissue or Cell Samples Total RNA is isolated from tissue samples using the guanidinium thiocyanate method and polyA + RNA is purified using the oligo (dT) cellulose method Each polyA + RNA sample is reverse transcribed using MMLV reverse-transcπptase, 0 05 pg/μl ohgo-dT primer (21mer), IX first strand buffer, 0 03 u ts/μl RNase inhibitor, 500 μM dATP, 500 μM dGTP, 500 μM dTTP, 40 μM dCTP, 40 μM dCTP-Cy3 (BDS) or dCTP-Cy5 (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) The reverse transcription reaction is performed in a 25 ml volume containing 200 ng polyA + RNA with GEMBRIGHT kits (Incyte) Specific control polyA + RNAs are synthesized by in vitro transcription from non-coding yeast genomic DNA (W Lei, unpublished) As quantitative controls, the control mRNAs at 0 002 ng, 0 02 ng, 0 2 ng, and 2 ng are diluted into reverse transcnption reaction at ratios of 1 100,000, 1 10,000, 1 1000, 1 100 (w/w) to sample mRNA respectively The control mRNAs are diluted into reverse transcription reaction at ratios of 1 3, 3 1 , 1 10, 10 1 , 1 25, 25 1 (w/w) to sample mRNA differential expression patterns After incubation at 37° C for 2 hr, each reaction sample (one with Cy3 and another with Cy5 labeling) is treated with 2 5 ml of 0 5M sodium hydroxide and incubated for 20 minutes at 85° C to the stop the reaction and degrade the RNA Probes are purified using two successive CHROMA SPIN 30 gel filtration spin columns (CLONTECH Laboratories, Inc (CLONTECH), Palo Alto CA) and after combining, both reaction samples are ethanol precipitated using 1 ml of glycogen ( 1 mg ml), 60 ml sodium acetate, and 300 ml of 100% ethanol The probe is then dried to completion using a SpeedVAC (Savant Instruments Inc , Holbrook NY) and resuspended m 14 μl 5X SSC/0 2% SDS Microarray Preparation Sequences of the present invention are used to generate anay elements Each anay element is amplified from bacterial cells containing vectors with cloned cDNA inserts PCR amplification uses pnmers complementary to the vector sequences flanking the cDNA insert Anay elements are amplified in thirty cycles of PCR from an initial quantity of 1-2 ng to a final quantity greater than 5 μg Amplified array elements are then purified using SEPHACRYL-400 (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) Purified anay elements are immobilized on polymer-coated glass slides Glass microscope slides (Corning) are cleaned by ultrasound in 0 1% SDS and acetone, with extensive distilled water washes between and after treatments Glass slides are etched in 4% hydrofluoric acid (VWR Scientific Products Coφoration (VWR), West Chester, PA), washed extensively in distilled water, and coated with 0 05% aminopropyl silane (Sigma) in 95% ethanol Coated slides are cured in a 1 10°C oven Anay elements are applied to the coated glass substrate using a procedure described in US Patent No 5,807,522, incoφorated herein by reference 1 μl of the anay element DNA, at an average concentration of 100 ng/μl, is loaded into the open capillary printing element by a high-speed robotic apparatus The apparatus then deposits about 5 nl of anay element sample per slide Microanays are UV-crosslmked using a STRATALTNKER UV-cross nker (Stratagene) Microanays are washed at room temperature once in 0 2% SDS and three times in distilled water Non-specific binding sites are blocked by incubation of microanays in 0 2% casein in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (Tropix, Inc , Bedford, MA) for 30 minutes at 60° C followed by washes in 0 2% SDS and distilled water as before Hybridization Hybridization reactions contain 9 μl of probe mixture consisting of 0 2 μg each of Cy3 and Cy5 labeled cDNA synthesis products in 5X SSC, 0 2% SDS hybridization buffer The probe mixture is heated to 65° C for 5 minutes and is ahquoted onto the microanay surface and covered with an 1 8 cm 2 covershp The anays are transfened to a wateφroof chamber having a cavity just slightly larger than a microscope slide The chamber is kept at 100% humidity internally by the addition of 140 μl of 5x SSC in a corner of the chamber The chamber containing the anays is incubated for about 6 5 hours at 60° C The anays are washed for 10 mm at 45° C in a first wash buffer ( 1 X SSC, 0 1 % SDS), three times for 10 minutes each at 45° C in a second wash buffer (0 IX SSC), and dried Detection Reporter-labeled hybndization complexes are detected with a microscope equipped with an Innova 70 mixed gas 10 W laser (Coherent, Inc , Santa Clara CA) capable of generating spectral lines at 488 nm for excitation of Cy3 and at 632 nm for excitation of Cy5 The excitation laser light is focused on the anay using a 20X microscope objective (Nikon, Inc , Melville NY) The slide containing the anay is placed on a computer-controlled X-Y stage on the microscope and raster- scanned past the objective The 1 8 cm x 1 8 cm anay used in the present example is scanned with a resolution of 20 micrometers In two separate scans, a mixed gas multiline laser excites the two fluorophores sequentially Emitted light is split, based on wavelength, into two photomultiplier tube detectors (PMT R1477, Hamamatsu Photonics Systems, Bπdgewater NJ) conespondmg to the two fluorophores Appropnate filters positioned between the anay and the photomultiplier tubes are used to filter the signals The emission maxima of the fluorophores used are 565 nm for Cy3 and 650 nm for Cy5 Each anay is typically scanned twice, one scan per fluorophore using the appropriate filters at the laser source, although the apparatus is capable of recording the spectra from both fluorophores simultaneously Th sensitivity of the scans is typically calibrated using the signal intensity generated by a cDNA control species added to the probe mix at a known concentration A specific location on the anay contains a complementary DNA sequence, allowing the intensity of the signal at that location to be conelated with a weight ratio of hybridizing species of 1 100,000 When two probes from different sources (e g , representing test and control cells), each labeled with a different fluorophore, are hybridized to a single anay for the puφose of identifying genes that are differentially expressed, the calibration is done by labeling samples of the calibrating cDNA with the two fluorophores and adding identical amounts of each to the hybridization mixture The output of the photomultiplier tube is digitized using a 12-bit RTI-835H analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion board (Analog Devices, Inc , Norwood, MA) installed in an IBM-compatible PC computer The digitized data are displayed as an image where the signal intensity is mapped using a linear 20-color transformation to a pseudocolor scale ranging from blue (low signal) to red (high signal) The data is also analyzed quantitatively Where two different fluorophores are excited and measured simultaneously, the data are first conected for optical crosstalk (due to overlapping emission spectra) between the fluorophores using each fluorophore s emission spectrum A gπd is supenmposed over the fluorescence signal image such that the signal from each spot is centered in each element of the gπd The fluorescence signal within each element is then integrated to obtain a numerical value conesponding to the average intensity of the signal The software used for signal analysis is the GEMTOOLS gene expression analysis program (Incyte) XII. Complementary Nucleic Acids Sequences complementary to the mddt are used to detect, decrease, or inhibit expression of the naturally occurnng nucleotide The use of oligonucleotides comprising from about 15 to 30 base pairs is typical in the art However, smaller or larger sequence fragments can also be used Appropnate oligonucleotides are designed from the mddt using OLIGO 4 06 software (National Biosciences) or other appropriate programs and are synthesized using methods standard in the art or ordered from a commercial supplier To inhibit transcription, a complementary oligonucleotide is designed from the most unique 5' sequence and used to prevent transcription factor binding to the promoter sequence To inhibit translation, a complementary oligonucleotide is designed to prevent ribosomal binding and processing of the transcript XIII. Expression of MDDT Expression and punfication of MDDT is accomplished using bacterial or virus-based expression systems For expression of MDDT in bacteria, cDNA is subcloned into an appropnate vector containing an antibiotic resistance gene and an inducible promoter that directs high levels of cDNA transcription Examples of such promoters include, but are not limited to, the trp-lac (tac) hybrid promoter and the T5 or T7 bacteriophage promoter in conjunction with the lac operator regulatory element Recombinant vectors are transformed into suitable bacterial hosts, e g , BL21 (DE3) Antibiotic resistant bacteria express MDDT upon induction with isopropyl beta-D- thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) Expression of MDDT in eukaryotic cells is achieved by infecting insect or mammalian cell lines with recombinant Autographica cahfornica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV), commonly known as baculovirus The nonessential polyhedrin gene of baculovirus is replaced with cDNA encoding MDDT by either homologous recombination or bacterial-mediated transposition involving transfer plasmid intermediates Viral infectivity is maintained and the strong polyhedrin promoter drives high levels of cDNA transcπption Recombinant baculovirus is used to infect Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) insect cells in most cases, or human hepatocytes, in some cases Infection of the latter requires additional genetic modifications to baculovirus (See e g , Engelhard, supra, and Sandig, supra ) In most expression systems, MDDT is synthesized as a fusion protein with, e g , glutathione S-transferase (GST) or a peptide epitope tag, such as FLAG or 6-Hιs, permitting rapid, single-step, affinity-based purification of recombinant fusion protein from crude cell lysates GST, a 26- kilodalton enzyme from Schistosoma lapomcum, enables the purification of fusion proteins on immobilized glutathione under conditions that maintain protein activity and antigenicity (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) Following purification, the GST moiety can be proteolytically cleaved from MDDT at specifically engineered sites FLAG, an 8-amιno acid peptide, enables lmmunoaffinity purification using commercially available monoclonal and polyclonal anti-FLAG antibodies (Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester NY) 6-Hιs, a stretch of six consecutive histidme residues, enables purification on metal-chelate resins (QIAGEN) Methods for protein expression and purification are discussed in Ausubel ( 1995, supra, Chapters 10 and 16) Puπfied MDDT obtained by these methods can be used directly in the following activity assay XIV. Demonstration of MDDT Activity MDDT, or biologically active fragments thereof, are labeled with 125 I Bolton-Hunter reagent (See, e g , Bolton, A E and W M Hunter ( 1973) Biochem J 133 529-539 ) Candidate molecules previously anayed in the wells of a multi-well plate are incubated with the labeled MDDT, washed, and any wells with labeled MDDT complex are assayed Data obtained using different concentrations of MDDT are used to calculate values for the number, affinity, and association of MDDT with the candidate molecules Alternatively, molecules interacting with MDDT are analyzed using the yeast two-hybrid system as described in Fields, S and O Song ( 1989) Nature 340 245-246, or using commercially available kits based on the two-hybrid system, such as the MATCHMAKER system (CLONTECH) MDDT may also be used in the PATHCALLING process (CuraGen Coφ , New Haven CT) which employs the yeast two-hybrid system in a high-throughput manner to determine all interactions between the proteins encoded by two large libraries of genes (Nandabalan, K et al (2000) U S Patent No 6,057, 101) XV. Functional Assays MDDT function is assessed by expressing mddt at physiologically elevated levels in mammalian cell culture systems cDNA is subcloned into a mammalian expression vector containing a strong promoter that drives high levels of cDNA expression Vectors of choice include pCMV SPORT (Life Technologies) and pCR3 1 (Invitrogen Coφoration, Carlsbad CA), both of which contain the cytomegalovirus promoter 5-10 μg of recombinant vector are transiently transfected into a human cell line, preferably of endothelial or hematopoietic origin, using either hposome formulations or electroporation 1-2 μg of an additional plasmid containing sequences encoding a marker protein are co-transfected Expression of a marker protein provides a means to distinguish transfected cells from nontransfected cells and is a reliable predictor of cDNA expression from the recombinant vector Marker proteins of choice include, e g , Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP, CLONTECH), CD64, or a CD64-GFP fusion protein Flow cytometry (FCM), an automated laser optics-based technique, is used to identify transfected cells expressing GFP or CD64-GFP and to evaluate the apoptotic state of the cells and other cellular properties FCM detects and quantifies the uptake of fluorescent molecules that diagnose events preceding or coincident with cell death These events include changes in nuclear DNA content as measured by staining of DNA with propidmm iodide, changes in cell size and granulanty as measured by forward light scatter and 90 degree side light scatter, down-regulation of DNA synthesis as measured by decrease in bromodeoxyuπdine uptake, alterations in expression of cell surface and intracellular proteins as measured by reactivity with specific antibodies, and alterations in plasma membrane composition as measured by the binding of fluorescein-conjugated Annexin V protein to the cell surface Methods in flow cytometry are discussed in Ormerod, M G ( 1994) Flow Cytometry, Oxford, New York NY The influence of MDDT on gene expression can be assessed using highly purified populations of cells transfected with sequences encoding MDDT and either CD64 or CD64-GFP CD64 and CD64-GFP are expressed on the surface of transfected cells and bind to conserved regions of human immunoglobulin G (IgG) Transfected cells are efficiently separated from nontransfected cells using magnetic beads coated with either human IgG or antibody against CD64 (DYNAL, Inc , Lake Success NY) mRNA can be purified from the cells using methods well known by those of skill in the art Expression of mRNA encoding MDDT and other genes of interest can be analyzed by northern analysis or microanay techniques XVI. Production of Antibodies MDDT substantially purified using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE, see, e g , Hanmgton, M G ( 1990) Methods Enzymol 182 488-495), or other purification techniques, is used to immunize rabbits and to produce antibodies using standard protocols Alternatively, the MDDT amino acid sequence is analyzed using LASERGENE software (DNASTAR) to determine regions of high immunogenicity, and a conesponding peptide is synthesized and used to raise antibodies by means known to those of skill in the art Methods for selection of appropriate epitopes, such as those near the C-terminus or in hydrophihc regions are well described in the art (See, e g , Ausubel, 1995, supra. Chapter 1 1 ) Typically, peptides 15 residues in length are synthesized using an ABI 431 A peptide synthesizer (PE Biosystems) using fmoc-chemistry and coupled to KLH (Sigma) by reaction with N- maleimidobenzoyl-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (MBS) to increase immunogenicity (See, e g , Ausubel, supra ) Rabbits are immunized with the peptide-KLH complex in complete Freund's adjuvant Resulting antisera are tested for antipeptide activity by, for example, binding the peptide to plastic, blocking with 1 % BSA, reacting with rabbit antisera, washing, and reacting with radioiodinated goat anti-rabbit IgG Antisera with antipeptide activity are tested for anti-MDDT activity using protocols well known in the art, including ELISA, RIA, and lmmunoblotting XVII. Purification of Naturally Occurring MDDT Using Specific Antibodies Naturally occurnng or recombinant MDDT is substantially purified by lmmunoaffinity chromatography using antibodies specific for MDDT. An lmmunoaffinity column is constructed by covalently coupling anti-MDDT antibody to an activated chromatographic resin, such as CNBr-activated SEPHAROSE (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) After the coupling, the resin is blocked and washed according to the manufacturer's instructions Media containing MDDT are passed over the lmmunoaffinity column, and the column is washed under conditions that allow the preferential absorbance of MDDT (e.g., high ionic strength buffers in the presence of detergent) The column is eluted under conditions that disrupt antibody/MDDT binding (e.g , a buffer of pH 2 to pH 3, or a high concentration of a chaotrope, such as urea or thiocyanate ion), and MDDT is collected All publications and patents mentioned in the above specification are herein incoφorated
