Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION  
       [0001] The present invention relates generally to the identification and isolation of novel DNA and to the recombinant production of novel polypeptides.  
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
       [0002] Extracellular proteins play important roles in, among other things, the formation, differentiation and maintenance of multicellular organisms. The fate of many individual cells, e.g., proliferation, migration, differentiation, or interaction with other cells, is typically governed by information received from other cells and/or the immediate environment. This information is often transmitted by secreted polypeptides (for instance, mitogenic factors, survival factors, cytotoxic factors, differentiation factors, neuropeptides, and hormones) which are, in turn, received and interpreted by diverse cell receptors or membrane-bound proteins. These secreted polypeptides or signaling molecules normally pass through the cellular secretory pathway to reach their site of action in the extracellular environment.  
       [0003] Secreted proteins have various industrial applications, including as pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, biosensors and bioreactors. Most protein drugs available at present, such as thrombolytic agents, interferons, interleukins, erythropoietins, colony stimulating factors, and various other cytokines, are secretory proteins. Their receptors, which are membrane proteins, also have potential as therapeutic or diagnostic agents. Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia to identify new, native secreted proteins. Many efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel secreted proteins. Examples of screening methods and techniques are described in the literature [see, for example, Klein et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.  93:7108-7113 (1996); U.S. Pat. No. 5,536,637)].  
       [0004] Membrane-bound proteins and receptors can play important roles in, among other things, the formation, differentiation and maintenance of multicellular organisms. The fate of many individual cells, e.g., proliferation, migration, differentiation, or interaction with other cells, is typically governed by information received from other cells and/or the immediate environment. This information is often transmitted by secreted polypeptides (for instance, mitogenic factors, survival factors, cytotoxic factors, differentiation factors, neuropeptides, and hormones) which are, in turn, received and interpreted by diverse cell receptors or membrane-bound proteins. Such membrane-bound proteins and cell receptors include, but are not limited to, cytokine receptors, receptor kinases, receptor phosphatases, receptors involved in cell-cell interactions, and cellular adhesion molecules like selectins and integrins. For instance, transduction of signals that regulate cell growth and differentiation is regulated in part by phosphorylation of various cellular proteins. Protein tyrosine kinases, enzymes that catalyze that process, can also act as growth factor receptors. Examples include fibroblast growth factor receptor and nerve growth factor receptor.  
       [0005] Membrane-bound proteins and receptor molecules have various industrial applications, including as pharmaceutical and diagnostic agents. Receptor immunoadhesins, for instance, can be employed as therapeutic agents to block receptor-ligand interactions. The membrane-bound proteins can also be employed for screening of potential peptide or small molecule inhibitors of the relevant receptor/ligand interaction.  
       [0006] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia to identify new, native receptor or membrane-bound proteins. Many efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel receptor or membrane-bound proteins.  
       [0007] 1. PRO281  
       [0008] A novel gene designated testis enhanced gene transcript (TEGT) has recently been identified in humans (Walter et al.,  Genomics  20:301-304 (1995)). Recent results have shown that TEGT protein is developmentally regulated in the mammalian testis and possesses a nuclear targeting motif that allows the protein to localize to the nucleus (Walter et al.,  Mamm. Genome  5:216-221 (1994)). As such, it is believed that the TEGT protein plays an important role in testis development. There is, therefore, substantial interest in identifying and characterizing novel polypeptides having homology to the TEGT protein. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to TEGT protein, designated herein as PRO281 polypeptides.  
       [0009] 2. PRO276  
       [0010] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia to identify new, native membrane-bound proteins. Many of these efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel membrane-bound proteins. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel transmembrane polypeptides, designated herein as PRO276 polypeptides.  
       [0011] 3. PRO189  
       [0012] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia to identify new, native secreted proteins. Many of these efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel secreted proteins. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel secreted polypeptides, designated herein as PRO189 polypeptides.  
       [0013] 4. PRO190  
       [0014] Of particular interest are proteins having seven transmembrane domains (7TM), or more generally, all multiple transmembrane spanning proteins. Among multiple transmembrane spanning proteins are ion channels and transporters. Examples of transporters are the UDP-galactose transporter described in Ishida, et al.,  J. Biochem.,  120(6): 1074-1078 (1996), and the CMP-sialic acid transporter described in Eckhardt, et al.,  PNAS,  93(15):7572-7576 (1996). We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel transmembrane polypeptides, designated herein as PRO190 polypeptides.  
       [0015] 5. PRO341  
       [0016] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia to identify new, native membrane-bound proteins. Many of these efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel membrane-bound proteins. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel transmembrane polypeptides, designated herein as PRO341 polypeptides.  
       [0017] 6. PRO180  
       [0018] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia to identify new, native membrane-bound proteins. Many of these efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel membrane-bound proteins. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel transmembrane polypeptides, designated herein as PRO180 polypeptides.  
       [0019] 7. PRO194  
       [0020] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia to identify new, native membrane-bound proteins. Many of these efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel membrane-bound proteins. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel transmembrane polypeptides, designated herein as PRO194 polypeptides.  
       [0021] 8. PRO203  
       [0022] Enzymatic proteins play important roles in the chemical reactions involved in the digestion of foods, the biosynthesis of macromolecules, the controlled release and utilization of chemical energy, and other processes necessary to sustain life. ATPases are a family of enzymes that play a variety of important roles, including energizing transport of ions and molecules, across cellular membranes. Transport mechanisms that employ ATPases often involve excluding xeno- and endobiotic toxins from the cellular environment, thereby protecting cells from toxicity of these compounds. Lu et al. report a detoxification mechanism where glutathione S-transferase (GST) catalyzes glutathionation of plant toxins, and a specific Mg 2+ -ATPase is involved in the transport of the glutathione S-conjugates from the cytosol.  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA  94(15):8243-8248 (1997). This study and others indicate the importance of the identification of ATPases, such as GST ATPases, and of novel proteins having sequence identity with ATPases.  
       [0023] More generally, and also of interest are novel membrane-bound proteins, including those which may be involved in the transport of ions and molecules across membranes. Membrane-bound proteins and receptors can play an important role in the formation, differentiation and maintenance of multicellular organisms. The fate of many individual cells, e.g., proliferation, migration, differentiation, or interaction with other cells, is typically governed by information received from other cells and/or the immediate environment. This information is often transmitted by secreted polypeptides (for instance, mitogenic factors, survival factors, cytotoxic factors, differentiation factors, neuropeptides, and hormones) which are, in turn, received and interpreted by diverse cell receptors or membrane-bound proteins. Such membrane-bound proteins and cell receptors include, but are not limited to, cytokine receptors, receptor kinases, receptor phosphatases, receptors involved in cell-cell interactions, and cellular adhesin molecules like selectins and integrins. For instance, transduction of signals that regulate cell growth and differentiation is regulated in part by phosphorylation of various cellular proteins. Protein tyrosine kinases, enzymes that catalyze that process, can also act as growth factor receptors. Examples include fibroblast growth factor receptor and nerve growth factor receptor.  
       [0024] In light of the important physiological roles played by ATPases and membrane-bound proteins efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia to identify new, native membrane-bound proteins, and proteins having sequence identity to ATPases. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having sequence identity to GST ATPase, designated herein as PRO203 polypeptides.  
       [0025] 9. PRO290  
       [0026] Of particular interest are novel proteins and nucleic acids which have sequence identity with known proteins and nucleic acids. Proteins of interest which are well known in the art include NTII-1, a nerve protein which facilitates regeneration, FAN, and beige. Beige, or bg, is a murine analog related to Chediak-Higashi Syndrome (CHS), a rare autosomal recessive disease in which neutrophils, monocytes and lymphocytes contain giant cytoplasmic granules. See Perou et al.,  J. Biol. Chem.  272(47):29790 (1997) and Barbosa et al.,  Nature  382:262 (1996).  
       [0027] We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having sequence identity to NTII-1, FAN and beige, designated herein as PRO290 polypeptides.  
       [0028] 10. PRO874  
       [0029] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia to identify new, native membrane-bound proteins. Many of these efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel membrane-bound proteins. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel transmembrane polypeptides, designated herein as PRO194 polypeptides.  
       [0030] 11. PRO710  
       [0031] In  Saccharomyces cerevisiae , the chromatin structure of DNA replication origins changes as cells become competent for DNA replication, suggesting that G1 phase-specific association of replication factors with origin DNA regulates entry into S phase (Aparicio et al.,  Cell  91:59-69 (1997)). In fact, it has been shown that the initiation of DNA replication in Saccharomyces cerevisiae requires the protein product of the CDC45 gene which encodes a protein that stays at relatively constant levels throughout the cell cycle (Owens et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA  94:12521-12526 (1997)). The CDC45 protein is part of a prereplication complex that may move with DNA replication forks in yeast. Given the obvious importance of the CDC45 protein in DNA replication, there is significant interest in identifying and characterizing novel polypeptides having homology to CDC45. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to the CDC45 protein, designated herein as PRO710 polypeptides.  
       [0032] 12. PRO1151  
       [0033] The complement proteins comprise a large group of serum proteins some of which act in an enzymatic cascade, producing effector molecules involved in inflammation. The complement proteins are of particular importance in regulating movement and function of cells involved in inflammation. One of the complement proteins, C1q, has been shown to be involved in the recognition of microbial surfaces and antibody-antigen complexes in the classical pathway of complement (Shapiro et al.,  Curr. Biol.  8(6):335-338 (1998)).  
       [0034] Given the physiological importance of inflammation and related mechanisms in vivo and in the specific physiological activities of complement C1q protein, efforts are currently being undertaken to identify new, native proteins which share sequence similarity to the complement proteins. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to complement C1q protein, designated herein as PRO1151 polypeptides.  
       [0035] 13. PRO1282  
       [0036] All proteins containing leucine-rich repeats are thought to be involved in protein-protein interactions. Leucine-rich repeats are short sequence motifs present in a number of proteins with diverse functions and cellular locations. The crystal structure of ribonuclease inhibitor protein has revealed that leucine-rich repeats correspond to beta-alpha structural units. These units are arranged so that they form a parallel beta-sheet with one surface exposed to solvent, so that the protein acquires an unusual, nonglubular shape. These two features have been indicated as responsible for the protein-binding functions of proteins containing leucine-rich repeats. See, Kobe and Deisenhofer,  Trends Biochem. Sci.,  19(10):415-421 (October 1994); Kobe and Deisenhofer,  Curr. Opin. Struct. Biol.,  5(3):409-416 (1995).  
       [0037] A study has been reported on leucine-rich proteoglycans which serve as tissue organizers, orienting and ordering collagen fibrils during ontogeny and are involved in pathological processes such as wound healing, tissue repair, and tumor stroma formation. Iozzo, R. V.,  Crit. Rev. Biochem. Mol. Biol.,  32(2):141-174 (1997). Others studies implicating leucine rich proteins in wound healing and tissue repair are De La Salle, C., et al.,  Vouv. Rev. Fr. Hematol . (Germany), 37(4):215-222 (1995), reporting mutations in the leucine rich motif in a complex associated with the bleeding disorder Bernard-Soulier syndrome, Chlemetson, K. J.,  Thromb. Haemost . (Germany), 74(1): 111-116 (July 1995), reporting that platelets have leucine rich repeats and Ruoslahti, E. I., et al., WO9110727-A by La Jolla Cancer Research Foundation reporting that decorin binding to transforming growth factorβ has involvement in a treatment for cancer, wound healing and scarring. Related by function to this group of proteins is the insulin like growth factor (IGF), in that it is useful in wound-healing and associated therapies concerned with re-growth of tissue, such as connective tissue, skin and bone; in promoting body growth in humans and animals; and in stimulating other growth-related processes. The acid labile subunit of IGF (ALS) is also of interest in that it increases the half-life of IGF and is part of the IGF complex in vivo.  
       [0038] Another protein which has been reported to have leucine-rich repeats is the SLIT protein which has been reported to be useful in treating neuro-degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer&#39;s disease, nerve damage such as in Parkinson&#39;s disease, and for diagnosis of cancer, see, Artavanistsakonas, S. and Rothberg, J. M., WO9210518-A1 by Yale University. Of particular interest is LIG-1, a membrane glycoprotein that is expressed specifically in glial cells in the mouse brain, and has leucine rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domains. Suzuki, et al.,  J. Biol. Chem . (U.S.), 271(37):22522 (1996). Other studies reporting on the biological functions of proteins having leucine rich repeats include: Tayar, N., et al.,  Mol. Cell Endocrinol., (Ireland),  125(1-2):65-70 (December 1996) (gonadotropin receptor involvement); Miura, Y., et al.,  Nippon Rinsh  (Japan), 54(7):1784-1789 (July 1996) (apoptosis involvement); Harris, P. C., et al.,  J. Am. Soc. Nephrol.,  6(4):1125-1133 (October 1995) (kidney disease involvement).  
       [0039] Leucine rich repeat proteins are further discussed in Kajava,  J. Mol. Biol.,  277(3):519-527 (1998), Nagasawa, et al.,  Genomics,  44(3):273-279 (1997), Bengtsson,  J. Biol. Chem.,  270(43):25639-25644(1995) Gaillard, et al.,  Cell,  65(7):1127-1141 (1991) and  Ohkura and Yanagida , Cell, 64(1):149-157 (1991), all incorporated herein by reference.  
       [0040] Thus, due to all the reasons listed above, new members of the leucine rich repeat superfamily are of interest. On a more general level, all novel proteins are of interest. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel leucine-rich repeat-containing polypeptides, designated herein as PRO1282 polypeptides.  
       [0041] 14. PRO358  
       [0042] The cloning of the Toll gene of Drosophila, a maternal effect gene that plays a central role in the establishment of the embryonic dorsal-ventral pattern, has been reported by Hashimoto et al.,  Cell  52:269-279 (1988). The Drosophila Toll gene encodes an integral membrane protein with an extracytoplasmic domain of 803 amino acids and a cytoplasmic domain of 269 amino acids. The extracytoplasmic domain has a potential membrane-spanning segment, and contains multiple copies of a leucine-rich segment, a structural motif found in many transmembrane proteins. The Toll protein controls dorsal-ventral patterning in Drosophila embryos and activates the transcription factor Dorsal upon binding to its ligand Spätzle. (Morisato and Anderson,  Cell  76:677-688 (1994)). In adult Drosophila, the Toll/Dorsal signaling pathway participates in the anti-fungal immune response. (Lenaitre et al.,  Cell  86:973-983 (1996)).  
       [0043] A human homologue of the Drosophila Toll protein has been described by Medzhitov et al.,  Nature  388:394-397 (1997). This human Toll, just as Drosophila Toll, is a type I transmembrane protein, with an extracellular domain consisting of 21 tandemly repeated leucine-rich motifs (leucine-rich region—LRR), separated by a non-LRR region, and a cytoplasmic domain homologous to the cytoplasmic domain of the human interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor. A constitutively active mutant of the human Toll transfected into human cell lines was shown to be able to induce the activation of NF-κB and the expression of NF-κB-controlled genes for the inflammatory cytokines IL-1, IL-6 and IL-8, as well as the expression of the constimulatory molecule B7. 1, which is required for the activation of native T cells. It has been suggested that Toll functions in vertebrates as a non-clonal receptor of the immune system, which can induce signals for activating both an innate and an adaptive immune response in vertebrates. The human Toll gene reported by Medzhitov et al., supra was most strongly expressed in spleen and peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL), and the authors suggested that its expression in other tissues may be due to the presence of macrophages and dendritic cells, in which it could act as an early-warning system for infection. The public GenBank database contains the following Toll sequences: Toll1 (DNAX# HSU88540-1, which is identical with the random sequenced full-length cDNA #HUMRSC786-1); Toll2 (DNAX# HSU88878-1); Toll3 (DNAX# HSU88879-1); and Toll4 (DNAX# HSU88880-1, which is identical with the DNA sequence reported by Medzhitov et al., supra). A partial Toll sequence (Toll5) is available from GenBank under DNAX# HSU88881-1.  
       [0044] Further human homologues of the Drosophila Toll protein, designated as Toll-like receptors (huTLRs1-5) were recently cloned and shown to mirror the topographic structure of the Drosophila counterpart (Rocket al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA  95:588-593 [1998]). Over expression of a constitutively active mutant of one human TLR (Toll-protein homologue—Medzhitov et al., supra; TLR4-Rock et al., supra) leads to the activation of NF-κB and induction of the inflammatory cytokines and constimulatory molecules. Medzhitov et al., supra.  
       [0045] We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to Toll, designated herein as PRO358 polypeptides.  
       [0046] 15. PRO1310  
       [0047] Of interest are proteins related to carboxypeptidases. Various carboxypeptidases are described in the literature, i.e., Krause et al.,  Immunol. Rev.  161:119-127 (1998) and Leiter,  J. Endocrinol.  155(2):211-214 (1997). We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to a carboxypeptidase, designated herein as PRO1310 polypeptides.  
       [0048] 16. PRO698  
       [0049] The extracellular mucous matrix of olfactory neuroepithelium is a highly organized structure in intimate contact with chemosensory cilia that house the olfactory transduction machinery. The major protein component of this extracellular matrix is olfactomedin, a glycoprotein that is expressed in olfactory neuroepithelium and which form intermolecular disulfide bonds so as to produce a polymer (Yokoe et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA  90:4655-4659 (1993), Bal et al.,  Biochemistry  32:1047-1053 (1993) and Snyder et al.,  Biochemistry  30:9143-9153 (1991)). It has been suggested that olfactomedin may influence the maintenance, growth or differentiation of chemosensory cilia on the apical dendrites of olfactory neurons. Given this important role, there is significant interest in identifying and characterizing novel polypeptides having homology to olfactomedin. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to olfactomedin protein, designated herein as PRO698 polypeptides.  
       [0050] 17. PRO732  
       [0051] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia to identify new, native membrane-bound proteins. Many of these efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel membrane-bound proteins. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel transmembrane polypeptides having sequence identity to the Diff33 protein, designated herein as PRO732 polypeptides.  
       [0052] 18. PRO1120  
       [0053] Enzymatic proteins play important roles in the chemical reactions involved in the digestion of foods, the biosynthesis of macromolecules, the controlled release and utilization of chemical energy, and other processes necessary to sustain life. Sulfatases are a family of secreted enzymatic proteins that play a variety of important metabolic roles and thus are the subject of interest in research and industry (see, e.g., Sleat et al.,  Biochem J.,  324(Pt. 1):33-39 (1997)). Deficiencies of certain sulfatases have been implicated in various human disorders including Sanfilippo D syndrome (see, Litjens et al.,  Biochem J.  327(Pt 1):899-94 (1997); Leipprandt et al.  J. Inherit Metab. Dis.  18(5):647-648 (1995); and Freeman et al.  Biochem J.  282(pt2):605-614 (1992)). We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having sequence identity to sulfatase protein, designated herein as PRO1120 polypeptides.  
       [0054] 19. PRO537  
       [0055] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia to identify new, native secreted proteins. Many of these efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel secreted proteins. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel secreted polypeptides, designated herein as PRO537 polypeptides.  
       [0056] 20. PRO536  
       [0057] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia to identify new, native secreted proteins. Many of these efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel secreted proteins. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel secreted polypeptides, designated herein as PRO536 polypeptides.  
       [0058] 21. PRO535  
       [0059] Isomerase proteins play many important physiological roles in the mammal. Many different types of isomerase proteins have been identified and characterized including, for example, protein disulfide isomerases and peptidyl-prolyl isomerases. It has been reported that many immunophilin proteins, i.e., proteins that serves as receptors for immunosuppressant drugs, exhibit peptidyl-prolyl isomerase activity in that they function to catalyze the interconversion of the cis and trans isomerase of peptide and protein substrates for immunophilin proteins. As such, there is significant interest in identifying and characterizing novel polypeptides having sequence similarity to peptidyl-prolyl isomerase proteins. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to a putative peptidyl-prolyl isomerase protein, designated herein as PRO535 polypeptides.  
       [0060] 22. PRO718  
       [0061] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia to identify new, native transmembrane proteins. Many of these efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel transmembrane proteins. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel transmembrane polypeptides, designated herein as PRO718 polypeptides.  
       [0062] 23. PRO872  
       [0063] Enzymatic proteins play important roles in the chemical reactions involved in the digestion of foods, the biosynthesis of macromolecules, the controlled release and utilization of chemical energy, and other processes necessary to sustain life. Dehydrogenases and desaturases are a family of enzymes that play a variety of important metabolic roles and thus are the subject of interest in research and industry (see Hable et al.,  Mol. Gen. Genet.  257(2):167-176 (1998); Schneider, C. et al.,  Prot. Expr. Purif.  10(2):175-179 (1997)). We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having sequence identity to dehydrogenase proteins, designated herein as PRO872 polypeptides.  
       [0064] 24. PRO1063  
       [0065] Collagens constitute the most abundant proteins of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in mammalian organisms. Collagen and other macromolecules of the ECM are deposited by resident cells and organized into a three-dimensional meshwork. This ECM environment plays an essential role in guiding cell migration and in cell-to-cell communication during morphogenic processes. The restructuring of the ECM during remodeling occurs as a cooperative multistep process involving a localized degradation of existing macromolecules, rearrangement of the cytoskeleton, cell translocation, and deposition of new ECM components. Involved in this restructuring are enzymes such as collagenases and gelatinases which play important roles in the degradation of the ECM. In light of the obviously important roles played by the collagenase enzymes, there is substantial interest in identifying and characterizing novel polypeptides having homology to these proteins. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to human type IV collagenase protein, designated herein as PRO1063 polypeptides.  
       [0066] 25. PRO619  
       [0067] Immunoglobulins are antibody molecules, the proteins that function both as receptors for antigen on the B-cell membrane and as the secreted products of the plasma cell. Like all antibody molecules, immunoglobulins perform two major functions: they bind specifically to an antigen and they participate in a limited number of biological effector functions. Therefore, new members of the Ig superfamily are always of interest.  
       [0068] Of particular interest are novel gene products associated with mu chains in immature B cells. Shirasawa, et al.,  EMBO J.,  12(5):1827-1834 (1993); Dul, et al.,  Eur. J. Immunol.,  26(4):906-913 (1996) Moreover, the molecular components and assembly of mu surrogate light chain complexes in pre-B cell lines are of interest. Ohnishi and Takemori,  J. Biol. Chem.,  269(45):28347-28353 (1994); Bauer, et al.,  Curr. Top Microbiol.,  137:130-135 (1988). Novel nucleic acids and peptides related to VpreB1, VpreB2 and VpreB3 by sequence identity are of particular interest. The assembly and manipulation of immunoglobulins can effect the entire industry related to antibodies and vaccines.  
       [0069] We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to VpreB proteins, designated herein as PRO619 polypeptides.  
       [0070] 26. PRO943  
       [0071] Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) proteins exhibit a variety of activities and act by binding to cell surface fibroblast growth factor receptors. Many different fibroblast growth factor receptors have been identified and characterized, including the fibroblast growth factor receptor-4, which has been shown to be a high affinity receptor for both acidic and basic FGF (Ron et al.,  J. Biol. Chem.  268:5388-5394 (1993) and Stark et al.,  Development  113:641-651 (1991)). Given the obvious importance of the FGF family of proteins and the cell surface receptors to which they bind, there is significant interest in identifying novel polypeptides having homology to the FGF receptor family.

       [0073] The identification of nucleotide pyrophosphohydrolases has been of interest because of the potential roles these secreted molecules play in calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) deposition disease, arthritis, and other joint diseases (see Masuda et al.  J. Rheumatol. ( 997) 24(8):1588-1594; and Terkeltaub et al.,  Arthritis Rheum ( 1998) 37(6):934-941).

       [0075] Netrins are molecules that guide growing axons and that are strikingly similar in sequence and in function in flies, nematodes and vertebrates. Additionally, netrin receptors have been identified in all three animal groups and shown to have crucial, conserved roles in axon navigation. Netrins and their receptors are further described in the literature, i.e., Varela-Echavarria and Guthrie,  Genes Dev.,  11(5):545-557 (1997); Guthrie,  Curr. Biol.,  7(1):R6-R9 (1997); and Keynes and Cook,  Neuron,  17(6):1031-1034 (1996). Due to their relation to neurons, netrins and their related proteins are of interest. Of particular interest are molecules having sequence identity or similarity with netrin. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to netrins, designated herein as PRO1133 polypeptides.

       [0077] Of interest are membrane-bound and receptor proteins involved in intracellular signaling, metabolism, transport, and other pathways. For example, membrane-bound proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum and golgi apparatus play important roles in the transport of proteins. The sec22 protein is an endoplasmic reticulum membrane-bound protein involved in fundamental membrane trafficking reactions where secretory products are routed from their site of synthesis to their final destination. The roles of sec22 in transport pathways have been reported by numerous investigators (see Tang et al.,  Biochem Biophys Res Commun  243(3):885-891 (1998); Hay et al.,  J. Biol. Chem.  271(10):5671-5679 (1996); and Newman et al.,  Mol. Cell. Biol.  10(7):3405-3414 (1990)).

       [0081] Immunoglobulin molecules play roles in many important mammalian physiological processes. The structure of immunoglobulin molecules has been extensively studied and it has been well documented that intact immunoglobulins possess distinct domains, one of which is the constant domain or F c  region of the immunoglobulin molecule. The F c  domain of an immunoglobulin, while not being directly involved in antigen recognition and binding, does mediate the ability of the immunoglobulin molecule, either uncomplexed or complexed with its respective antigen, to bind to F c  receptors either circulating in the serum or on the surface of cells. The ability of an F c  domain of an immunoglobulin to bind to an F c  receptor molecule results in a variety of important activities, including for example, in mounting an immune response against unwanted foreign particles. Thus, molecules related to F c  receptors are of interest. F c  receptors are further described in Tominaga et al.,  Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun.,  168(2):683-689 (1990); Zhang et al.,  Immuno.,  39(6):423-427 (1994). We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to F c  receptor, designated herein as PRO820 polypeptides.

       [0083] The folding of proteins and the assembly of protein complexes within subcompartments of the eukaryotic cell is catalysed by different members of the Hsp70 protein family. The chaperone function of Hsp70 proteins in these events is regulated by members of the DnaJ-like protein family, which occurs through direct interaction of different Hsp70 and DnaJ-like protein pairs that appear to be specifically adapted to each other. The diversity of functions of DnaJ-like proteins using specific examples of DnaJ-Hsp70 interactions with polypeptides in yeast protein-biogenesis pathways is further described in Cyr et al.,  Trends Biochem. Sci.,  19(4):176-181 (1994). DnaJ proteins and their involvement in the binding of secretory precursor polypeptides to a translocon subcomplex and polypeptide translocation machinery in the yeast endoplasmic reticulum are further described in Lyman and Schekman,  Cell  88(l):85-96 (1997) and Lyman and Schekman,  Experientia  52(12):1042-1049 (1996), respectively. Thus, DnaJ proteins are of interest, as are proteins related to DnaJ proteins, particularly those having sequence identity with DnaJ proteins. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to DnaJ proteins, designated herein as PRO1080 polypeptides.

       [0089] Enzymatic proteins play important roles in the chemical reactions involved in the digestion of foods, the biosynthesis of macromolecules, the controlled release and utilization of chemical energy, and other processes necessary to sustain life. Acyltransferases are enzymes which acylate moieties. Acyl-glycerol-phosphate acyltransferases can act on lysophosphatidic acid as a substrate. The lysophosphatidic acid is converted to phophatidic acid and thus plays a role in forming phosphatidylethanolamine found in membranes. See, Brown, et al.,  Plant Mol. Biol.,  26(1):211-223 (1994). Thus, acyltransferases play an important role in the biosynthesis of molecules requiring acylation. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to acyltransferase proteins, designated herein as PRO1016 polypeptides.

       [0093] The glypican family of heparan sulfate proteoglycans are major cell-surface proteoglycans of the developing nervous system. It is believed that members of the glypican family play a role in regulating cell cycle progression during the transition of proliferating neuronal progenitor cells to differentiated neurons. Lander et al.  Perspect Dev. Neurobiol  3(4):347-358 (1996). It is likely that proteoglycans of the glypican family play other important roles in neural development (Lander et al., supra), and as well as other tissues, as glypican family members have also been found in the developing kidney (Watanabe et al.  J. Cell Biol.  130(5):1207-1218 (1995)). Accordingly, the identification of new members of the glypican family of proteins is of interest in research and in industry.

       [0100] Methyltransferase enzymes catalyze the transfer of methyl groups from a donor molecule to an acceptor molecule Methyltransferase enzymes play extremely important roles in a number of different biological processes including, for example, in the electron transport chain in the plasma membrane in prokaryotes and in the inner mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotic cells (see, e.g., Barkovich et al.,  J. Biol. Chem.  272:9182-9188 (1997), Dibrov et al.,  J. Biol. Chem.  272:9175-9181 (1997), Lee et al.,  J. Bacteriol..  179:1748-1754 (1997) and Marbois et al.,  Arch. Biochem. Biophys.  313:83-88 (1994)). Methyltransferase enzymes have been shown to be essential for the biosynthesis of ubiquinone (coenzyme Q) and menaquinone (vitamin K2), both of which are essential isoprenoid quinone components of the respiratory electron transport chain. Given the obvious importance of the methyltransferase enzymes, there is substantial interest in identifying novel polypeptide homologs of the methyltransferases. We herein describe the identification and characterization of a novel polypeptide having homology to methyltransferase enzymes, designated herein as PRO1180 polypeptides..

       [0108] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia to identify new, native proteins. Many efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel receptor and other proteins. Of interest is the identification of proteins that may play roles in various human disorders and dysfunction. For example, the identification of proteins of the ear and the functions they play in hearing may lead to an understanding of the causes of hearing loss and deafness. Coch-B2 is one such protein that has been found to be specifically expressed in the inner ear (cochlea). It has been characterized and studied for its possible role in hearing loss (Robertson et al.  Genomics  (1994) 23(1):52-50; Robertson et al.  Genomics  (1997) 46(3):345-354). We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having sequence identity to Coch-B2, designated herein as PRO1277 polypeptides.

       [0110] Glycosylation is an important mechanism for modulating the physiochemical and biological properties of proteins in a stage- and tissue-specific manner. One of the important enzymes involved in glycosylation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is alpha 1,2-mannosidase, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of Man9GlcNAc2 to Man8GlcNAc2 during the formation of N-linked oligosaccharides. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha 1,2-mannosidase enzyme of is a member of the Class I alpha 1,2-mannosidases that are conserved from yeast to mammals. Given the important roles played by the alpha 1,2-mannosidases in glycosylation and the physiochemical activity regulated by glycosylation, there is significant interest in identifying novel polypeptides having homology to one or more mannosidases. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to alpha 1,2-mannosidase protein, designated herein as PRO1135 polypeptides.  
       [0111] 46. PRO1114  
       [0112] Interferons (IFNs) encompass a large family of secreted proteins occurring in vertebrates. Although they were originally named for their antiviral activity, growing evidence supports a critical role for IFNs in cell growth and differentiation (Jaramillo et al.,  Cancer Investigation  13(3):327-338 (1995)). IFNs belong to a class of negative growth factors having the ability to inhibit the growth of a wide variety of cells with both normal and transformed phenotypes. IFN therapy has been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of human malignancies such as Karposi&#39;s sarcoma, chronic myelogenous leukemia, non-Hodgkin&#39;s lymphoma, and hairy cell leukemia as well as in the treatment of infectious diseases such as hepatitis B (Gamliel et al.,  Scanning Microscopy  2(1):485-492 (1988), Einhom et al.,  Med. Oncol . &amp;  Tumor Pharmacother.  10:25-29 (1993) Ringenberg et al.,  Missouri Medicine  85(1):21-26 (1988), Saracco et al.,  Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology  10:668-673 (1995), Gonzalez-Mateos et al.,  Hepato-Gastroenterology  42:893-899 (1995) and Malaguarnera et al.,  Pharmacotherapy  17(5):998-1005 (1997)).  
       [0113] Interferons can be classified into two major groups based upon their primary sequence. Type I interferons, IFN-α and IFN-β, are encoded by a superfamily of intronless genes consisting of the IFN-α gene family and a single IFN-β gene that are thought to have arisen from a common ancestral gene. Type I interferons may be produced by most cell types. Type II IFN, or IFN-γ, is restricted to lymphocytes (T cells and natural killer cells) and is stimulated by nonspecific T cell activators or specific antigens in vivo.  
       [0114] Although both type I and type II IFNs produce similar antiviral and antiproliferative effects, they act on distinct cell surface receptors, wherein the binding is generally species specific (Langer et al.,  Immunol. Today  9:393-400 (1988)). Both IFN-α and IFN-β bind competitively to the same high affinity type I receptor, whereas IFN-γ binds to a distinct type II receptor. The presence and number of IFN receptors on the surface of a cell does not generally reflect the sensitivity of the cell to IFN, although it is clear that the effects of the IFN protein is mediated through binding to a cell surface interferon receptor. As such, the identification and characterization of novel interferon receptor proteins is of extreme interest.  
       [0115] We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel interferon receptor polypeptides, designated herein as “PRO114 interferon receptor” polypeptides. Thus, the PRO114 polypeptides of the present invention represents a novel cell surface interferon receptor.

       [0117] Glutathione peroxidases are of interest because they play important roles in protection against risk of coronary disease, atherosclerosis, platelet hyperaggregation and synthesis of proaggregant and proinflammatory compounds. Glutathione peroxidases are involved in the reduction of hydrogen peroxides and lipid peroxides, which in turn regulate the activities of cyclooxygenase and lipooxygenase pathways. This ultimately influences the production of eicosanoids and modulates the balance between a proaggregatory and antiaggregatory state of platelets. These and other activities and functions of glutathione peroxidases are discussed in greater detail by Ursini et al.,  Biomed. Environ. Sci  10(2-3): 327-332 (1997); Vitoux et al.,  Ann. Biol. Clin  (Paris) 55(5):181-187 (1996); and Mirault et al.,  Ann N.Y. Acad. Sci  738: 104-115 (1994).

       [0120] Long chain acyl-CoA synthetase converts free fatty acids to acyl-CoA esters. This synthetase has been reported to have interesting characteristics. Specifically, it has been reported that two boys having Alport syndrome, elliptocytosis and mental retardation carried a large deletion where long chain acyl-CoA synthetase 4 would have been located. Thus, the absence of this enzyme is believed to play a role in the development of mental retardation or other signs associated with Alport syndrome in the family. Piccini, et al.,  Genomics,  47(3):350-358 (1998). Moreover, it has been reported that an inhibitor of acyl coenzyme A synthetase, triacsin C, inhibits superoxide anion generation and degranulation by human neutrophils. Thus, it is suggested that there is a role for acyl-CoA esters in regulating activation of O 2  generation and degranulation at the G protein or subsequent step(s). Korchak, et al.,  J. Biol. Chem.,  269(48):30281-30287 (1994). Long chain acyl-CoA synthetase is also briefly discussed in a report which describes very long chain acyl-CoA synthetase. Uchiyama, et al.,  J. Biol. Chem.,  271(48):30360 (1994). Thus, long chain acyl-CoA synthetase and particular novel polypeptides having sequence identity therewith are of interest.

       [0123] Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored proteoglycans are generally localized to the cell surface and are thus known to be involved in the regulation of responses of cells to numerous growth factors, cell adhesion molecules and extracellular matrix components. The metastasis-associated GPI-anchored protein (MAGPIAP) is one of these cell surface proteins which appears to be involved in metastasis. Metastasis is the form of cancer wherein the transformed or malignant cells are traveling and spreading the cancer from one site to another. Therefore, identifying the polypeptides related to metastasis and MAGPIAP is of interest.

       [0126] Mammalian cell membranes perform very important functions relating to the structural integrity and activity of various cells and tissues. Of particular interest in membrane physiology is the study of trans-membrane ion channels which act to directly control a variety of physiological, pharmacological and cellular processes. Numerous ion channels have been identified including calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), chloride (Cl) and potassium (K) channels, each of which have been analyzed in detail to determine their roles in physiological processes in vertebrate and insect cells. These roles include such things as maintaining cellular homeostasis, intracellular signaling, and the like. Given the obvious importance of the ion channels, there is significant interest in identifying and characterizing novel polypeptides having homology to one or more ion channels.

Based on their binding specificities and sequence homologies, PDZ domains fall into two classes, class I and class II. In light of the obvious importance of the PDZ domain-containing proteins, there is significant interest in identifying novel polypeptides that have homology to those proteins.

       [0147] Surfactant proteins play extremely important biological roles in the mammalian pulmonary system. One mammalian protein that has been studied and well characterized is pulmonary surfactant-associated protein C. For example, Qanbar et al.,  Am. J. Physiol.  271:L572-L580 (1996) studied the effect of palmitoylation of pulmonary surfactant-associated protein C on the surface activity of phospholipid mixtures. Specifically, the authors demonstrated that palmitoylation of pulmonary surfactant-associated protein C greatly enhanced lipid respreading and film stability and, therefore, was extremely important for surfactant function. Given the obvious important roles played by surfactant protein in the mammalian organism, there is significant interest in identifying novel polypeptides having homology to one or more surfactant enzymes.

       [0151] Of particular interest are novel proteins which have sequence identity with known proteins. For example, novel proteins having some sequence identity with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are of interest. The MHC complex is a region of multiple loci that play major roles in determining whether transplanted tissue will be accepted as self (histocompatible) or rejected as foreign (histoincompatible). Moreover, the MHC plays a central role in the development of both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. There are class I, II and III MHC antigens, all known in the art. Class I antigens are glycoproteins expressed on the surface of nearly all nucleated cells, where they present peptide antigens of altered self-cells necessary for the activation of Tc cells. The assembly of MHC class I antigens is further described in Kvist and Levy,  Semin. Immunol.,  5(2):105-116 (1993) and Maffei, et al.,  Hum. Immunol.,  54(2):91-103 (12997).

       [0156] Protein-protein interactions include receptor and antigen complexes and signaling mechanisms. As more is known about the structural and functional mechanisms underlying protein-protein interactions, protein-protein interactions can be more easily manipulated to regulate the particular result of the protein-protein interaction. Thus, the underlying mechanisms of protein-protein interactions are of interest to the scientific and medical community.  
       [0157] All proteins containing leucine-rich repeats are thought to be involved in protein-protein interactions. Leucine-rich repeats are short sequence motifs present in a number of proteins with diverse functions and cellular locations. The crystal structure of ribonuclease inhibitor protein has revealed that leucine-rich repeats correspond to beta-alpha structural units. These units are arranged so that they form a parallel beta-sheet with one surface exposed to solvent, so that the protein acquires an unusual, nonglubular shape. These two features have been indicated as responsible for the protein-binding functions of proteins containing leucine-rich repeats. See, Kobe and Deisenhofer,  Trends Biochem.

       [0158] A study has been reported on leucine-rich proteoglycans which serve as tissue organizers, orienting and ordering collagen fibrils during ontogeny and are involved in pathological processes such as wound healing, tissue repair, and tumor stroma formation. Iozzo, R. V.,  Crit. Rev. Biochem. Mol. Biol.,  32(2):141-174 (1997). Others studies implicating leucine rich proteins in wound healing and tissue repair are De La Salle, C., et al.,  Vouv. Rev. Fr. Hematol. (Germany),  37(4):215-222 (1995), reporting mutations in the leucine rich motif in a complex associated with the bleeding disorder Bernard-Soulier syndrome, Chlemetson, K. J.,  Thromb. Haemost. (Germany),  74(1):111-116 (July 1995), reporting that platelets have leucine rich repeats and Ruoslahti, E. I., et al., WO9110727-A by La Jolla Cancer Research Foundation reporting that decorin binding to transforming growth factors has involvement in a treatment for cancer, wound healing and scarring. Related by function to this group of proteins is the insulin like growth factor (IGF), in that it is useful in wound-healing and associated therapies concerned with re-growth of tissue, such as connective tissue, skin and bone; in promoting body growth in humans and animals; and in stimulating other growth-related processes. The acid labile subunit of IGF (ALS) is also of interest in that it increases the half-life of IGF and is part of the IGF complex in vivo.  
       [0159] Another protein which has been reported to have leucine-rich repeats is the SLIT protein which has been reported to be useful in treating neuro-degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer&#39;s disease, nerve damage such as in Parkinson&#39;s disease, and for diagnosis of cancer, see, Artavanistsakonas, S. and Rothberg, J. M., WO9210518-A1 by Yale University. Of particular interest is LIG-1, a membrane glycoprotein that is expressed specifically in glial cells in the mouse brain, and has leucine rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domains. Suzuki, et al.,  J. Biol. Chem. (U.S.),  271(37):22522 (1996). Other studies reporting on the biological functions of proteins having leucine rich repeats include: Tayar, N., et al.,  Mol. Cell Endocrinol., (Ireland),  125(1-2):65-70 (December 1996) (gonadotropin receptor involvement); Miura, Y., et al.,  Nippon Rinsho  (Japan), 54(7):1784-1789 (July 1996) (apoptosis involvement); Harris, P.

       [0162] Factor C is a protein that is intimately involved with the coagulation cascade in a variety of organisms. The coagulation cascade has been shown to involve numerous different intermediate proteins, including factor C, all of whose activity is essential to the proper functioning of this cascade. Abnormal coagulation cascade function can result in a variety of serious abnormalities and, as such, the activities of the coagulation cascade proteins is of particular interest. As such, efforts are currently being undertaken to identify novel polypeptides having homology to one or more of the coagulation cascade proteins.

       [0165] Carbohydrate chains on glycoproteins are important not only for protein conformation, transport and stability, but also for cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. β-1,4-galactosyltransferase is an enzyme that is involved in producing carbohydrate chains on proteins, wherein the β-1,4-galactosyltransferase enzyme acts to transfer galactose to the terminal N-acetylglucosamine of complex-type N-glycans in the Golgi apparatus (Asano et al.,  EMBO J.  16:1850-1857 (1997)). In addition, it has been suggested that β-1,4-galactosyltransferase is invloved directly in cell-cell interactions during fertilization and early embryogenesis through a subpopulation of this enzyme distributed on the cell surface. Specifically, Lu et al.,  Development  124:4121-4131 (1997) and Larson et al.,  Biol. Reprod.  57:442-453 (1997) have demonstrated that β-1,4-galactosyltransferase is expressed on the surface of sperm from a variety of mammalian species, thereby suggesting an important role in fertilization. In light of the above, novel polypeptides having sequence identity to β-1,4-galactosyltransferase are of interest.  
       [0166] We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to β-1,4-galactosyltransferase, designated herein as PRO1109 polypeptides.

J. Cancer  60:73-81 (1995)). Given the interest in identifying tumor-specific cell-surface polypeptide markers, there is substantial interest in novel polypeptides having homology to nmb.

       [0172] Lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase (LPAAT) is an enzyme that in lipid metabolism converts lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) into phosphatidic acid (PA). LPA is a phospholipid that acts as an intermediate in membrane phospholipid metabolism. Various LPAAT enzymes have been identified in a variety of species (see, e.g., Aguado et al.,  J. Biol. Chem.  273:4096-4105 (1998), Stamps et al.,  Biochem. J.  326:455-461 (1997), Eberhart et al.,  J. Biol. Chem.  272:20299-20305 (1997) and West et al.,  DNA Cell Biol.  16:691-701 (1997)). Given the obvious importance of LPAAT in a variety of different applications including cell membrane maintenance, there is substantial interest in identifying and characterizing novel polypeptides having homology to LPAAT. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to LPAAT protein, designated herein as PRO1108 polypeptides.  
       [0173] 70. PRO1137  
       [0174] A particular class of secreted polypeptides that are of interest in research and industry are ribosyltransferases. Braren et al. described the use of EST databases for the identification and cloning of novel ribosyltransferase gene family members ( Adv. Exp. Med. Biol.  419:163-168(1997)). Ribosyltransferases have been identified playing roles in a variety of metabolic functions including posttranslational modification of proteins (Saxty et al.,  J. Leukoc. Biol.,  63(1):15-21 (1998)), and mediation of the assembly of filamentous actin and chemotaxis in polymorphonuclear neutrophil leukocytes (Kefalas et al.  Adv. Exp. Med. Biol.  419:241-244 (1997)).

       [0177] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia to identify new, native receptor proteins. Many efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel receptor proteins. Of particular interest is the identification of membrane-bound proteins found in cells of the hematopoietic system, as they often play important roles in fighting infection, repair of injured tissues, and other activities of cells of the hematopoietic system. For instance, CD84 leukocyte antigen has recently been identified as a new member of the Ig superfamily (de la Fuente et al.,  Blood,  90(6):2398-2405 (1997)).  
       [0178] Described herein is the identification and characterization of a novel polypeptide having homology to CD84 leukocyte antigen, designated herein as PRO1138 polypeptides.  
       [0179] 72. PRO1054  
       [0180] The proteins of the major urinary protein complex (MUP), proteins which are members of the lipocalin fairly, function to bind to volatile pheromones and interact with the vomeronasal neuroepithelium of the olfactory system. As such, proteins in the MUP family are intimately involved in the process of attraction between mammals of different sexes. Many different MUP family members have been identified and characterized and shown to possess varying degrees of amino acid sequence homology (see, e.g., Mucignat et al.,  Chem. Senses  23:67-70 (1998), Ferrari et al.,  FEBS Lett.  401:73-77 (1997) and Bishop et al.,  EMBO J.  1:615-620 (1982)). Given the physiological and biological importance of the MUP family of proteins, there is significant interest in identifying and characterizing novel members of this family. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to MUP family of proteins, designated herein as PRO1054 polypeptides.

       [0182] The L6 cell surface antigen, which is highly expressed on lung, breast, colon, and ovarian carcinomas, has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target for murine monoclonal antibodies and their humanized counterparts (Marken et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA  89:3503-3507 (1992)). The cDNA encoding this tumor-associated cell surface antigen has been expressed in COS cells and shown to encode a 202 amino acid polypeptide having three transmembrane domains. The L6 antigen has been shown to be related to a number of cell surface proteins that have been implicated in the regulation of cell growth, including for example CD63 and CO-029, proteins which are also highly expressed on tumor cells. As such, there is significant interest in identifying novel polypeptides having homology to the L6 tumor cell antigen as potential targets for cancer therapy. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to the L6 cell surface tumor cell-associated antigen, designated herein as PRO994 polypeptides.

       [0184] Steroid binding proteins play important roles in numerous physiological processes associated with steroid function. Specifically, one steroid binding protein-associated polypeptide that has been well characterized is component 1 of the prostatic binding protein. Component 1 of the prostatic binding protein has been shown to be specific for subunit F of the prostatic binding protein, the major secretory glycoprotein of the rat ventral prostate (Peeters et al.,  Eur. J. Biochem.  123:55-62 (1982) and Liao et al.,  J. Biol. Chem.  257:122-125 (1982)). The amino acid sequence of component I of the prostatic binding protein has been determined, wherein the sequence is highly rich in glutamic acid residues and is overall highly acidic. This protein plays an important role in the response of the prostate gland to steroid hormones. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to prostatic steroid-binding protein c1, designated herein as PRO812 polypeptides.

       [0186] Of particular interest is the identification of new membrane-bound proteins involved in ion conductance such as channel inhibitory factor (CHIF) and MAT-8, which have recently been reported (see Wald et al.,  Am. J. Physiol,  272(5 pt 2): F617-F623 (1997); Capurro et al.,  Am. J. Physiol,  271(3pt1): C753-C762 (1996); Wald et al.,  Am. J. Physiol,  271(2 pt 2): F322-F329 (1996); and Morrison et al.,  J. Biol.

       [0189] Cytochromes P-450 are a superfamily of hemoproteins which represent the main pathway for drug and chemical oxidation (Horsmans,  Acta Gastroenterol. Belg.  60:2-10 (1997)). This superfamily is divided into families, subfamilies and/or single enzymes. Recent reports have provided a great deal of information concerning the cytochrome P-450 isozymes and increased awareness of life threatening interactions with such commonly prescribed drugs as cisapride and some antihistamines (Michalets,  Pharmacotherapy  18:84-112 (1998) and Singer et al.,  J. Am. Acad. Dermatol.  37:765-771 (1997)). Given this information, there is significant interest in identifying novel members of the cytochrome P-450 family of proteins. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to cytochrome P-450 proteins, designated herein as PRO1129 polypeptides.

       [0202] Obesity is the most common nutritional disorder which, according to recent epidemiologic studies, affects about one third of all Americans 20 years of age or older. Kuczmarski et al.,  J. Am. Med. Assoc.  272, 205-11 (1994). Obesity is responsible for a variety of serious health problems, including cardiovascular disorders, type II diabetes, insulin-resistance, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, dyslipoproteinemia, and some forms of cancer. Pi-Sunyer, F. X.,  Anns. Int. Med.  119, 655-60 (1993); Colfitz, G. A.,  Am. J. Clin. Nutr.  55, 503S-507S (1992). A single-gene mutation (the obesity or “ob” mutation) has been shown to result in obesity and type II diabetes in mice. Friedman,  Genomics  11, 1054-1062 (1991). Zhang et al.,  Nature  372, 425-431 (1994) have recently reported the cloning and sequencing of the mouse ob gene and its human homologue, and suggested that the ob gene product may function as part of a signaling pathway from adipose tissue that acts to regulate the size of the body fat depot. Parabiosis experiments performed more than 20 years ago predicted that the genetically obese mouse containing two mutant copies of the ob gene (ob/ob mouse) does not produce a satiety factor which regulates its food intake, while the diabetic (db/db) mouse produces but does not respond to a satiety factor. Coleman and Hummal,  Am. J. Physiol.  217, 1298-1304 (1969); Coleman,  Diabetol.  9, 294-98 (1973). OB proteins are disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,532,336; 5,552,522; 5,552,523; 5,552,514; 5,554,727. Recent reports by three independent research teams have demonstrated that daily injections of recombinant OB protein inhibit food intake and reduce body weight and fat in grossly obese ob/ob mice but not in db/db mice (Pelleymounter et al.,  Science  269, 540-43 [1995]; Halaas et al.,  Science  269, 543-46 [1995]; Campfield et al.,  Science  269, 546-49 [1995]), suggesting that the ob protein is such a satiety factor as proposed in early cross-circulation studies.  
       [0203] A receptor of the OB protein (OB—R) is disclosed in Tartaglia et al.,  Cell  83, 1263-71 (1995). The OB-R is a single membrane-spanning receptor homologous to members of the class I cytokine receptor family (Tartaglia et al., supra; Bazan,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA  87, 6934-6938 [1990]). Two 5′-untranslated regions and several 3′-alternative splice variants encoding OB—R with cytoplasmic domains of different lengths have been described in mouse, rat and human (Chen et al.,  Cell  84, 491-495 [1996]; Chua et al.,  Science  271, 994-996 [1996]; Tartaglia et al., supra; Wang et al.,  FEBS Lett.  392:87-90 [1996]; Phillips et al.,  Nature Genet.  13, 18-19 [1996]; Cioffi et al.,  Nature Med.,  2 585-589 [1996]). A human hematopoetin receptor, which might be a receptor of the OB protein, is described in PCT application Publication No. WO96/08510, published Mar. 21, 1996.  
       [0204] Bailleul et al.,  Nucl. Acids Res.  25, 2752-2758 (1997) identified a human mRNA splice variant of the OB—R gene that potentially encodes a novel protein, designated as leptin receptor gene-related protein (OB—RGRP). This protein displays no sequence similarity to the leptin receptor itself. The authors found that the OB—RGRP gene shares its promoter and two exons with the OB—R gene, and suggested that there is a requirement for a coordinate expression of OB—R and OB—RGRP to elicit the full physiological response to leptin in vivo.

       [0206] Protein-protein interactions include receptor and antigen complexes and signaling mechanisms. As more is known about the structural and functional mechanisms underlying protein-protein interactions, protein-protein interactions can be more easily manipulated to regulate the particular result of the protein-protein interaction. Thus, the underlying mechanisms of protein-protein interactions are of interest to the scientific and medical community.  
       [0207] All proteins containing leucine-rich repeats are thought to be involved in protein-protein interactions. Leucine-rich repeats are short sequence motifs present in a number of proteins with diverse functions and cellular locations. The crystal structure of ribonuclease inhibitor protein has revealed that leucine-rich repeats correspond to beta-alpha structural units. These units are arranged so that they form a parallel beta-sheet with one surface exposed to solvent, so that the protein acquires an unusual, nonglubular shape. These two features have been indicated as responsible for the protein-binding functions of proteins containing leucine-rich repeats. See, Kobe and Deisenhofer,  Trends Biochem. Sci.,  19(10):415-421 (October 1994); Kobe and Deisenhofer,  Curr. Opin. Struct. Biol.,  5(3):409-416 (1995).  
       [0208] A study has been reported on leucine-rich proteoglycans which serve as tissue organizers, orienting and ordering collagen fibrils during ontogeny and are involved in pathological processes such as wound healing, tissue repair, and tumor stroma formation.

       [0210] Efforts are therefore being undertaken by both industry and academia to identify new proteins having leucine rich repeats to better understand protein-protein interactions. Of particular interest are those proteins having leucine rich repeats and homology to known proteins having leucine rich repeats such as platelet glycoprotein V, SLIT and ALS.

       [0221] As the mitochondria is primarily responsible for generating energy, proteins associated with the mitochondria are of interest. Recently, a cDNA from a novel Ca ++ -dependent member of the mitochondrial solute carrier superfamily was isolated from a rabbit small intestinal cDNA library as described in Weber, et al.,  PNAS USA,  94(16):8509-8514 (1997). It was reported that this transporter has four elongation factor-hand motifs in the N-terminal and is localized in the peroxisome, although a fraction can be found in the mitochondria. Thus, this transporter, and proteins which have sequence identity to this and other members of the mitochondrial solute carrier superfamily are of particular interest.

       [0224] Butyrophilin is a milk glycoprotein that constitutes more than 40% of the total protein associated with the fat globule membrane in mammalian milk. Expression of butyrophilin mRNA has been shown to correlate with the onset of milk fat production toward the end pregnancy and is maintained throughout lactation. Butyrophilin has been identified in bovine, murine and human (see Taylor et al.,  Biochim. Biophys. Acta  1306:1-4 (1996), Ishii et al.,  Biochim. Biophys. Acta  1245:285-292 (1995), Mather et al.,  J. Dairy Sci.  76:3832-3850 (1993) and Banghart et al.,  J. Biol. Chem.  273:4171-4179 (1998)) and is a type I transmembrane protein that is incorporated into the fat globulin membrane. It has been suggested that butyrophilin may play a role as the principle scaffold for the assembly of a complex with xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase and other proteins that function in the budding and release of milk-fat globules from the apical surface during lactation (Banghart et al., supra .  
       [0225] Given that butyrophilin plays an obviously important role in mammalian milk production, there is substantial interest in identifying novel butyrophilin homologs.

       [0229] Proteins of interest include those having sequence identity with RoBo-1, a novel member of the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor/CD59/Ly-6/snake toxin family selectively expressed in bone and growth plate cartilage as described in Noel et al.,  J. Biol. Chem.  273(7):3878-3883 (1998). RoBo-1 is believed to play a novel role in the growth or remodeling of bone.

       [0236] Of interest are luminal proteins, or proteins specific to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Of particular interest are proteins having sequence identity with known proteins. Known proteins include proteins such as SLS1. In  Saccharomyces cerevisiae, SLS 1 has been reported to be a mitochondrial integral membrane protein involved in mitochondrial metabolism. Rouillard, et al.,  Mol. Gen. Genet.,  252(6):700-708 (1996). In yeast  Yarrowia lipolytica , it has been reported that the SLS1 gene product (SLS1p) behaves as a lumenal protein of the ER. It is believed that SPS1p acts in the preprotein translocation process, interacting directly with translocating polypeptides to facilitate their transfer and/or help their folding in the ER. Bosirame, et al.,  J. Biol. Chem.,  271(20):11668-11675 (1996).

       [0241] Proteases are enzymatic proteins which are involved in a large number of very important biological processes in mammalian and non-mammalian organisms. Numerous different protease enzymes from a variety of different mammalian and non-mammalian organisms have been both identified and characterized, including the serine proteases which exhibit specific activity toward various serine-containing proteins. The mammalian protease enzymes play important roles in biological processes such as, for example, protein digestion, activation, inactivation, or modulation of peptide hormone activity, and alteration of the physical properties of proteins and enzymes.  
       [0242] Neuropsin is a novel serine protease whose mRNA is expressed in the central nervous system. Mouse neuropsin has been cloned, and studies have shown that it is involved in the hippocampal plasticity. Neuropsin has also been indicated as associated with extracellular matrix modifications and cell migrations. See, generally, Chen, et al.,  Neurosci.,  7(2):5088-5097 (1995) and Chen, et al.,  J. Histochem. Cytochem.,  46:313-320 (1998).  
       [0243] Another serine protease of interest is the enamel matrix serine proteinase. The maturation of dental enamel succeeds the degradation of organic matrix. Inhibition studies have shown that this degradation is accomplished by a serine-type proteinase. Proteases associated with enamel maturation are described in, i.e., Simmer, et al.,  J. Dent. Res.,  77(2):377-386 (1998), Overall and Limeback,  Biochem J.,  256(3):965-972 (1988), and Moradian-Oldak,  Connect. Tissue Res.,  35(14):231-238 (1996).

       [0246] The abbreviations “TIE” or “tie” are acronyms, which stand for “tyrosine kinase containing Ig and EGF homology domains” and were coined to designate a new family of receptor tyrosine kinases which are almost exclusively expressed in vascular endothelial cells and early hemopoietic cells, and are characterized by the presence of an EGF-like domain, and extracellular folding units stabilized by intra-chain disulfide bonds, generally referred to as “immunoglobulin (IG)-like” folds. A tyrosine kinase homologous cDNA fragment from human leukemia cells (tie) was described by Partanen et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA  87, 8913-8917 (1990). The mRNA of this human “TIE” receptor has been detected in all human fetal and mouse embryonic tissues, and has been reported to be localized in the cardiac and vascular endothelial cells. Korhonen et al.,  Blood  80, 2548-2555 (1992); PCT Application Publication No. WO 93/14124 (published Jul. 22, 1993). The rat homolog of human TIE, referred to as “TIE-1”, was identified by Maisonpierre et al.,  Oncogene  8, 1631-1637 (1993)). Another TIE receptor, designated “TIE-2” was originally identified in rats (Dumont et al.,  Oncogene  8, 1293-1301 (1993)), while the human homolog of TIE-2, referred to as “ork” was described in U.S. Patent No. 5,447,860 (Ziegler). The murine homolog of TIE-2 was originally termed “tek.” The cloning of a mouse TIE-2 receptor from a brain capillary cDNA library is disclosed in PCT Application Publication No. WO 95/13387 (published May 18, 1995). TIE-2 is a receptor tyrosine kinase that is expressed almost exclusively by vascular endothelium. Tie-2 knockout mice die by defects in the formation of n-microvassels. Accordingly, the TIE receptors are believed to be actively involved in angiogenesis, and may play a role in hemopoiesis as well. Indeed, recent results (Lin et al.,  J. Clin. Invest.  100(8), 2072-2078 [1997]) demonstrating the ability of a soluble TIE-2 receptor to inhibit tumor angiogenesis have been interpreted to indicate that TIE-2 plays a role in pathologic vascular growth. In another study, TIE-2 expression was examined in adult tissues undergoing angiogenesis and in quiescent tissues. TIE2 expression was localized by immunohistochemistry to the endothelium of neovessels in rat tissues undergoing angiogenesis during hormonally stimulated follicular maturation and uterine development and in healing wounds. TIE-2 was also reported to be expressed in the entire spectrum of the quiescent vasculature (arteries, veins, and capillaries) in a wide range of adult tissues. Wong et al.,  Circ. Res.  81(4), 567-574 (1997). It has been suggested that TIE-2 has a dual function in adult angiogenesis and vascular maintenance.  
       [0247] The expression cloning of human TIE-2 ligands has been described in PCT Application Publication No. WO 96/11269 (published Apr. 18, 1996) and in U.S. Pat. No. 5,521,073 (published May 28, 1996). A vector designated as λgt10 encoding a TIE-2 ligand NL7d “htie-2 ligand 1” or “hTL1” has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. 75928. A plasmid encoding another TIE-2 ligand designated “htie-2 2” or “hTL2” is available under ATCC Accession No. 75928. This second ligand has been described as an antagonist of the TAI-2 receptor. The identification of secreted human and mouse ligands for the TIE-2 receptor has been reported by Davis et al.,  Cell  87, 1161-1169 (1996). The human ligand designated “Angiopoietin-1”, to reflect its role in angiogenesis and potential action during hemopoiesis, is the same ligand as the ligand variously designated as “htie-2 1” or “hTL-1” in WO 96/11269. Angiopoietin-1 has been described to play an angiogenic role later and distinct from that of VEGF (Suri et al.,  Cell  87, 1171-1180 (1996)). Since TIE-2 is apparently upregulated during the pathologic angiogenesis requisite for tumor growth (Kaipainen et al.,  Cancer Res.  54, 6571-6577 (1994)) angiopoietin-1 has been suggested to be additionally useful for specifically targeting tumor vasculature (Davis et al., supra).

       [0250] The low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor is a membrane-bound protein that plays a key role in cholesterol homeostasis, mediating cellular uptake of lipoprotein particles by high affinity binding to its ligands, apolipoprotein (apo) B-100 and apoE. The ligand-binding domain of the LDL receptor contains 7 cysteine-rich repeats of approximately 40 amino acids, wherein each repeat contains 6 cysteines, which form 3 intra-repeat disulfide bonds. These unique structural features provide the LDL receptor with its ability to specifically interact with apo B-100 and apoE, thereby allowing for transport of these lipoprotein particles across cellular membranes and metabolism of their components. Soluble fragments containing the extracellular domain of the LDL receptor have been shown to retain the ability to interact with its specific lipoprotein ligands (Simmons et al.,  J. Biol. Chem.  272:25531-25536 (1997)). LDL receptors are further described in Javitt,  FASEB J.,  9(13):1378-1381 (1995), van Berkel, et al.,  Atherosclerosis,  118 Suppl: S43-S50 (1995) and Herz and Willnow,  Ann. NY Acad. Sci.,  737:14-19 (1994). Thus, proteins having sequence identity with LDL receptors are of interest.

       [0259] Proteases are enzymatic proteins which are involved in a large number of very important biological processes in mammalian and non-mammalian organisms. Numerous different protease enzymes from a variety of different mammalian and non-mammalian organisms have been both identified and characterized. The mammalian protease enzymes play important roles in many different biological processes including, for example, protein digestion, activation, inactivation, or modulation of peptide hormone activity, and alteration of the physical properties of proteins and enzymes. Thus, proteases are of interest. Also of interest are protease inhibitors.  
       [0260] Of particular interest are serine proteases. In one study it was reported that when the serine protease inhibitor antileukoproteinase (aLP) is injected, it accumulates in articular and extraarticular cartilage of normal rats. This physiological pathway of cartilage accumulation, lost in proteoglycan depleted arthritic cartilage is believed to serve to maintain the local balance between proteinase function and inhibition. Burkhardt, et al.,  J. Rheumatol,  24(6):1145-1154 (1997). Moreover, aLP and other protease inhibitors have been reported to play a role in the in vitro growth of hematopoietic cells by the neutralization of proteinases produced by bone marrow accessory cells. Gosklink, et al.,  J. Exp. Med.,  184(4):1305-1312 (1996). Also of interest are mutants of aLP. Oxidation resistant mutants of aLPe have been reported to have significant therapeutic effects on animal models having emphysema. Steffens, et al.,  Agents Actions Suppl.,  42:111-121 (1993). Thus, serine protease inhibitors are of interest.

       [0263] Membrane-bound proteins of interest include channels such as ion channels. Furthermore, membrane-bound proteins of interest include enzymes bound to intracellular vacuoles or organelles, such as transferases. For example, a peptide of interest is the GalNAc alpha 2, 6-sailytransferase as described in Kurosawa, et al.,  J. Biol. Chem.,  269(2):1402-1409 (1994). This peptide was constructed to be secreted, and retained its catalytic activity. The expressed enzyme exhibited activity toward asialomucin and asialofetuin, but not other glycoproteins tested. As sialylation is an important function, sialyltransferases such as this one, and peptides related by sequence identity, are of interest.

       [0270] Aminopeptidase N causes enzymatic degradation of perorally administered peptide drugs. Thus, aminopeptidase N has been used in studies to develop and identify inhibitors so as to increase the efficacy of peptide drugs by inhibiting their degradation. Aminopeptidases are also generally of interest to use to degrade peptides. Aminopeptidases, particularly novel aminopeptidases are therefore of interest. Aminopeptidase N and inhibitors thereof are further described in Bernkop-Schnurch and Marschutz,  Pharm. Res.,  14(2): 181-185 ((1997); Lerche, et al.,  Mamm.

       [0275] Conglutinin is a bovine serum protein that was originally described as a vertebrate lectin protein and which belongs to the family of C-type lectins that have four characteristic domains, (1) an N-terminal cysteine-rich domain, (2) a collagen-like domain, (3) a neck domain and (4) a carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD)). Recent reports have demonstrated that bovine conglutinin can inhibit hemagglutination by influenza A viruses as a result of their lectin properties (Eda et al.,  Biochem. J.  316:43-48 (1996)). It has also been suggested that lectins such as conglutinin can function as immunoglobulin-independent defense molecules due to complement-mediated mechanisms. Thus, conglutinin has been shown to be useful for purifying immune complexes in vitro and for removing circulating immune complexes from patients plasma in vivo (Lim et al.,  Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun.  218:260-266 (1996)). We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to conglutinin protein, designated herein as PRO1182 polypeptides.

       [0277] Substance P and the related proteins, neurokinin A and neurokinin B have been reported as compounds which elicit contraction of the ileum both directly through action on a muscle cell receptor and indirectly through stimulation of a neuronal receptor. This action leads to the release of acetylcholine which causes muscle contraction via muscarinic receptors. It has also been reported that neurokinin B was found to be the most potent agonist for the neuronal Substance P receptor and that neurokinin B can be inhibited by enkephalinamide. Laufer, et al.,  PNAS USA,  82(21):74444-7448 (1985). Moreover, neurokinin B has been reported to provide neuroprotection and cognitive enhancement, and therefore believed to be usefull for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, including alzheimers disease. Wenk, et al.,  Behav. Brain Res.,  83(1-2):129-133 (1997). Tachykins are also described in Chawla, et al.,  J. Comp. Neurol.,  384(3):429-442 (1997). Thus, tachykinins, particularly those related to neurokinin B are of interest.

       [0286] The extracellular mucous matrix of olfactory neuroepithelium is a highly organized structure in intimate contact with chemosensory cilia that house the olfactory transduction machinery. The major protein component of this extracellular matrix is olfactomedin, a glycoprotein that is expressed in olfactory neuroepithelium and which form intermolecular disulfide bonds so as to produce a polymer (Yokoe et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA  90:4655-4659 (1993), Bal et al.,  Biochemistry  32:1047-1053 (1993) and Snyder et al.,  Biochemistry  30:9143-9153 (1991)). It has been suggested that olfactomedin may influence the maintenance, growth or differentiation of chemosensory cilia on the apical dendrites of olfactory neurons. Given this important role, there is significant interest in identifying and characterizing novel polypeptides having homology to olfactomedin. We herein describe the identification and characterization of novel polypeptides having homology to olfactomedin protein, designated herein as PRO1126 polypeptides.

They regulate cellular functions, such as cell division, cell-fate determination, gene transcription, gene transcription, transmembrane signaling, mRNA modification and vesicle fusion. WD are further described in Neer, et al.,  Nature,  371(6495):297-300 (1994); Jiang and Struhl,  Nature,  391(6666):493-496 (1998); and DeSilva, et al.,  Genetics,  148(2):657-667 (1998).

       [0299] Ion channels are considered to be the gateway to the final frontier, the brain. Ion channels and the receptors which control these channels are responsible for the passage of ions, or nerve impulses to be communicated from cell to cell, thus, ion channels are responsible for communication. In addition to their critical role in the brain, ion channels play a critical role in the heart as well as blood pressure. Ion channels have also been linked to other important bodily functions and conditions, as well as disorders, such as cystic fibrosis. For all of these reasons, ion channels, such as sodium, potassium and chloride channels, as well as all of their related proteins and receptors are of interest. For example, it has been reported that cystic fibrosis results from a defect in the chloride channel protein, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. McGill, et al.,  Dig. Dis. Sci.,  41(3):540-542 (1996). Chloride channels are further described in at least Finn, et al.,  PNAS USA,  90(12):5691-569 (1993) and Finn, et al.,  Mol. Cell Biochem.,  114(1-2):21-26 (1992).  
       [0300] Also of interest are molecules related to adhesion molecules, as adhesion molecules are known to be involved in cell-cell signaling and interactions. More generally, all novel membrane bound-proteins are of interest. Membrane-bound proteins and receptors can play an important role in the formation, differentiation and maintenance of multicellular organisms. The fate of many individual cells, e.g., proliferation, migration, differentiation, or interaction with other cells, is typically governed by information received from other cells and/or the immediate environment. This information is often transmitted by secreted polypeptides (for instance, mitogenic factors, survival factors, cytotoxic factors, differentiation factors, neuropeptides, and hormones) which are, in turn, received and interpreted by diverse cell receptors or membrane-bound proteins. Such membrane-bound proteins and cell receptors include, but are not limited to, cytokine receptors, receptor kinases, receptor phosphatases, receptors involved in cell-cell interactions, channels, transporters, and cellular adhesin molecules like selectins and integrins. For instance, transduction of signals that regulate cell growth and differentiation is regulated in part by phosphorylation of various cellular proteins. Protein tyrosine kinases, enzymes that catalyze that process, can also act as growth factor receptors. Examples include fibroblast growth factor receptor and nerve growth factor receptor.  
       [0301] Membrane-bound proteins include those which are bound to the outer membrane and intracellular membranes and organelles. Membrane-bound proteins and receptor molecules have various industrial applications, including as pharmaceutical and diagnostic agents. Receptor immunoadhesins, for instance, can be employed as therapeutic agents to block receptor-ligand interaction. The membrane-bound proteins can also be employed for screening of potential peptide or small molecule inhibitors of the relevant receptor/ligand interaction.  
       [0302] Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia to identify new, native receptor proteins. Many efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries to identify the coding sequences for novel receptor proteins. Herein is presented a polypeptide and nucleic acid encoding therefor which has sequence identity with a chloride channel protein chloride channel protein and lung-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (ECAM-1).

       [0309] Membrane-bound proteins of myelin are of interest because of their possible implications in various nervous system disorders associated with improper myelination. Myelin is a cellular sheath, formed by glial cells, that surrounds axons and axonal processes that enhances various electrochemical properties and provides trophic support to the neuron. Myelin is formed by Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and by oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS). Improper myelination of central and peripheral neurons occurs in a number of pathologies and leads to improper signal conduction within the nervous systems. Among the various demyelinating diseases Multiple Sclerosis is the most notable.  
       [0310] The predominant integral membrane protein of the CNS myelin of amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals are proteolipid protein (PLP) and P0, the main glycoprotein in PNS myelin. (Schlieess and Stoffel,  Biol. Chem. Hoppe Seyler ( 1991) 372(9):865-874). In view of the importance of membrane-bound proteins of the myelin, efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia to identify and characterize various myelin proteins (see Stratmann and Jeserich,  J. Neurochem ( 1995) 64(6):2427-2436).

       [0318] Human tetranectin is a 202 amino acid protein encoded by a gene spanning approximately 12 kbp of DNA (Berglund et al.,  FEBS Lett.  309:15-19(1992)). Tetranectin has been shown to be expressed in a variety of tissues and functions primarily as a plasminogen binding protein. Tetranectin has been classified in a distinct group of the C-type lectin superfamily but has structural and possibly functional similarity to the collectin proteins (Nielsen et al.,  FEBS Lett.  412(2):388-396 (1997)). Recent studies have reported that variability in serum tetranectin levels may be predictive of the presence of various types of cancers including, for example, ovarian and colorectal cancers (Hogdall et al.,  Acta Oncol.  35:63-69 (1996), Hogdall et al.,  Eur. J. Cancer  31A(6):888-894 (1995) and Tuxen et al.,  Cancer Treat. Rev.  21(3) :215-245 (1995)). As such, there is significant interest in identifying and characterizing novel polypeptides having structural and functional similarity to the tetranectin protein.

       [0323] Serine protease inhibitors are of interest because they inhibit catabolism and are sometimes associated with regeneration of tissue.

Commun.,  223(2):404-412 (1996).

       [0328] The recognition of carbohydrates by lectins has been found to play an important role in various aspects of eukaryotic physiology. A number of different animal and plant lectin families exist, but it is the calcium dependent, or type C, lectins that have recently garnered the most attention. For example, the recognition of carbohydrate residues on either endothelial cells or leukocytes by the selectin family of calcium dependent lectins has been found to be of profound importance to the trafficking of leukocytes to inflammatory sites. Lasky, L.,  Ann. Rev. Biochem.,  64 113-139 (1995). The biophysical analysis of these adhesive interactions has suggested that lectin-carbohydrate binding evolved in this case to allow for the adhesion between leukocytes and the endothelium under the high shear conditions of the vasculature. Thus, the rapid on rates of carbohydrate recognition by such lectins allows for a hasty acquisition of ligand, a necessity under the high shear of the vascular flow. The physiological use of type C lectins in this case is also supported by the relatively low affinities of these interactions, a requirement for the leukocyte rolling phenomenon that has been observed to occur at sites of acute inflammation. The crystal structures of the mannose binding protein (Weis et al.,  Science  254, 1608-1615 [1991]; Weis et al.,  Nature  360 127-134 [1992]) and E-selectin (Graves et., al  Nature  367(6463), 532-538 [1994]), together with various mutagenesis analyses (Erbe et al.,  J. Cell. Biol.  119(1), 215-227 [1992]; Drickamer,  Nature  360, 183-186 [1992]; Iobst et al.,  J. Biol. Chem.  169(22), 15505-15511 [1994]; Kogan et al.,  J. Biol. Chem.  270(23), 14047-14055 [1995]), is consistent with the supposition that the type C lectins are, in general, involved with the rapid recognition of clustered carbohydrates. Together, these data suggest that type C lectins perform a number of critical physiological phenomena through the rapid, relatively low affinity recognition of carbohydrates.  
       [0329] Given the obvious importance of the lectin proteins in numerous biological processes, efforts are currently being made to identify novel lectin proteins or proteins having sequence homology to lectin proteins.

       [0341] One class of receptor proteins that has been of interest is the NKG2 family of type II transmembrane molecules that are expressed in natural killer cells. These proteins, which have been shown to be covalently associated with CD94, are involved in natural killer cell-mediated recognition of different HLA-allotypes (Plougastel, B. et al.,  Eur. J. Immunol . (1997)27(11):2835-2839), and interact with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I to either inhibit or activate functional activity (Ho, EL. et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci . (1998)95(11):6320-6325). Accordingly, the identification and characterization of new members of this family of receptor proteins is of interest (see Houchins J P, et al.  J. Exp. Med.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS  
     [2912] I. Definitions  
     [2913] The terms “PRO polypeptide” and “PRO” as used herein and when immediately followed by a numerical designation refer to various polypeptides, wherein the complete designation (i.e., PRO/number) refers to specific polypeptide sequences as described herein. The terms “PRO/number polypeptide” and “PRO/number” wherein the term “number” is provided as an actual numerical designation as used herein encompass native sequence polypeptides and polypeptide variants (which are further defined herein). The PRO polypeptides described herein may be isolated from a variety of sources, such as from human tissue types or from another source, or prepared by recombinant or synthetic methods.  
     [2914] A “native sequence PRO polypeptide” comprises a polypeptide having the same amino acid sequence as the corresponding PRO polypeptide derived from nature. Such native sequence PRO polypeptides can be isolated from nature or can be produced by recombinant or synthetic means. The term “native sequence PRO polypeptide” specifically encompasses naturally-occurring truncated or secreted forms of the specific PRO polypeptide (e.g., an extracellular domain sequence), naturally-occurring variant forms (e.g., alternatively spliced forms) and naturally-occurring allelic variants of the polypeptide. In various embodiments of the invention, the native sequence PRO polypeptides disclosed herein are mature or full-length native sequence polypeptides comprising the full-length amino acids sequences shown in the accompanying figures. Start and stop codons are shown in bold font and underlined in the figures. However, while the PRO polypeptide disclosed in the accompanying figures are shown to begin with methionine residues designated herein as amino acid position 1 in the figures, it is conceivable and possible that other methionine residues located either upstream or downstream from the amino acid position 1 in the figures may be employed as the starting amino acid residue for the PRO polypeptides.  
     [2915] The PRO polypeptide “extracellular domain” or “ECD” refers to a form of the PRO polypeptide which is essentially free of the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains. Ordinarily, a PRO polypeptide ECD will have less than 1% of such transmembrane and/or cytoplasmic domains and preferably, will have less than 0.5% of such domains. It will be understood that any transmembrane domains identified for the PRO polypeptides of the present invention are identified pursuant to criteria routinely employed in the art for identifying that type of hydrophobic domain. The exact boundaries of a transmembrane domain may vary but most likely by no more than about 5 amino acids at either end of the domain as initially identified herein. Optionally, therefore, an extracellular domain of a PRO polypeptide may contain from about 5 or fewer amino acids on either side of the transmembrane domain/extracellular domain boundary as identified in the Examples or specification and such polypeptides, with or without the associated signal peptide, and nucleic acid encoding them, are comtemplated by the present invention.  
     [2916] The approximate location of the “signal peptides” of the various PRO polypeptides disclosed herein are shown in the present specification and/or the accompanying figures. It is noted, however, that the C-terminal boundary of a signal peptide may vary, but most likely by no more than about 5 amino acids on either side of the signal peptide C-terminal boundary as initially identified herein, wherein the C-terminal boundary of the signal peptide may be identified pursuant to criteria routinely employed in the art for identifying that type of amino acid sequence element (e.g., Nielsen et al.,  Prot. Eng.  10:1-6 (1997) and von Heinje et al.,  Nucl.    
     [2917] Acids. Res. 14:46834690 (1986)). Moreover, it is also recognized that, in some cases, cleavage of a signal sequence from a secreted polypeptide is not entirely uniform, resulting in more than one secreted species. These mature polypeptides, where the signal peptide is cleaved within no more than about 5 amino acids on either side of the C-terminal boundary of the signal peptide as identified herein, and the polynucleotides encoding them, are contemplated by the present invention.  
     [2918] “PRO polypeptide variant” means an active PRO polypeptide as defined above or below having at least about 80% amino acid sequence identity with a full-length native sequence PRO polypeptide sequence as disclosed herein, a PRO polypeptide sequence lacking the signal peptide as disclosed herein, an extracellular domain of a PRO polypeptide, with or without the signal peptide, as disclosed herein or any other fragment of a full-length PRO polypeptide sequence as disclosed herein. Such PRO polypeptide variants include, for instance, PRO polypeptides wherein one or more amino acid residues are added, or deleted, at the N- or C-terminus of the full-length native amino acid sequence. Ordinarily, a PRO polypeptide variant will have at least about 80% amino acid sequence identity, preferably at least about 81% amino acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 82% amino acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 83% amino acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 84% amino acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 85% amino acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 86% amino acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 87% amino acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 88% amino acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 89% amino acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 90% amino acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 91% amino acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 92% amino acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 93% amino acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 94% amino acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 95% amino acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 96% amino acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 97% amino acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 98% amino acid sequence identity and most preferably at least about 99% amino acid sequence identity with a full-length native sequence PRO polypeptide sequence as disclosed herein, a PRO polypeptide sequence lacking the signal peptide as disclosed herein, an extracellular domain of a PRO polypeptide, with or without the signal peptide, as disclosed herein or any other specifically defined fragment of a full-length PRO polypeptide sequence as disclosed herein. Ordinarily, PRO variant polypeptides are at least about 10 amino acids in length, often at least about 20 amino acids in length, more often at least about 30 amino acids in length, more often at least about 40 amino acids in length, more often at least about 50 amino acids in length, more often at least about 60 amino acids in length, more often at least about 70 amino acids in length, more often at least about 80 amino acids in length, more often at least about 90 amino acids in length, more often at least about 100 amino acids in length, more often at least about 150 amino acids in length, more often at least about 200 amino acids in length, more often at least about 300 amino acids in length, or more.  
     [2919] “Percent (%) amino acid sequence identity” with respect to the PRO polypeptide sequences identified herein is defined as the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical with the amino acid residues in the specific PRO polypeptide sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity, and not considering any conservative substitutions as part of the sequence identity. Alignment for purposes of determining percent amino acid sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the skill in the art, for instance, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for measuring alignment, including any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full length of the sequences being compared. For purposes herein, however, % amino acid sequence identity values are generated using the sequence comparison computer program ALIGN-2, wherein the complete source code for the ALIGN-2 program is provided in Table 1 below. The ALIGN-2 sequence comparison computer program was authored by Genentech, Inc. and the source code shown in Table 1 below has been filed with user documentation in the U. S. Copyright Office, Washington D.C., 20559, where it is registered under U.S. Copyright Registration No. TXU510087. The ALIGN-2 program is publicly available through Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, Calif. or may be compiled from the source code provided in Table 1 below. The ALIGN-2 program should be compiled for use on a UNIX operating system, preferably digital UNIX V4.0D. All sequence comparison parameters are set by the ALIGN-2 program and do not vary.  
     [2920] In situations where ALIGN-2 is employed for amino acid sequence comparisons, the % amino acid sequence identity of a given amino acid sequence A to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B (which can alternatively be phrased as a given amino acid sequence A that has or comprises a certain % amino acid sequence identity to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B) is calculated as follows:  
     100 times the fraction {fraction (X/Y)} 
     [2921] where X is the number of amino acid residues scored as identical matches by the sequence alignment program ALIGN-2 in that program&#39;s alignment of A and B, and where Y is the total number of amino acid residues in B. It will be appreciated that where the length of amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of amino acid sequence B, the % amino acid sequence identity of A to B will not equal the % amino acid sequence identity of B to A. As examples of % amino acid sequence identity calculations using this method, Tables 2 and 3 demonstrate how to calculate the % amino acid sequence identity of the amino acid sequence designated “Comparison Protein” to the amino acid sequence designated “PRO”, wherein “PRO” represents the amino acid sequence of a hypothetical PRO polypeptide of interest, “Comparison Protein” represents the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide against which the “PRO” polypeptide of interest is being compared, and “X, “Y” and “Z” each represent different hypothetical amino acid residues.  
     [2922] Unless specifically stated otherwise, all % amino acid sequence identity values used herein are obtained as described in the immediately preceding paragraph using the ALIGN-2 computer program. However, % amino acid sequence identity values may also be obtained as described below by using the WU-BLAST-2 computer program (Altschul et al.,  Methods in Enzymology  266:460-480 (1996)). Most of the WU-BLAST-2 search parameters are set to the default values. Those not set to default values, i.e., the adjustable parameters, are set with the following values: overlap span=1, overlap fraction=0.125, word threshold (T)=11, and scoring matrix=BLOSUM62. When WU-BLAST-2 is employed, a % amino acid sequence identity value is determined by dividing (a) the number of matching identical amino acid residues between the amino acid sequence of the PRO polypeptide of interest having a sequence derived from the native PRO polypeptide and the comparison amino acid sequence of interest (i.e., the sequence against which the PRO polypeptide of interest is being compared which may be a PRO variant polypeptide) as determined by WU-BLAST-2 by (b) the total number of amino acid residues of the PRO polypeptide of interest. For example, in the statement “a polypeptide comprising an the amino acid sequence A which has or having at least 80% amino acid sequence identity to the amino acid sequence B”, the amino acid sequence A is the comparison amino acid sequence of interest and the amino acid sequence B is the amino acid sequence of the PRO polypeptide of interest.  
     [2923] Percent amino acid sequence identity may also be determined using the sequence comparison program NCBI-BLAST2 (Altschul et al.,  Nucleic Acids Res.  25:3389-3402 (1997)). The NCBI-BLAST2 sequence comparison program may be downloaded from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. NCBI-BLAST2 uses several search parameters, wherein all of those search parameters are set to default values including, for example, unmask=yes, strand=all, expected occurrences=10, minimum low complexity length=15/5, multi-pass e-value=0.01, constant for multi-pass=25, dropoff for final gapped alignment=25 and scoring matrix=BLOSUM62.  
     [2924] In situations where NCBI-BLAST2 is employed for amino acid sequence comparisons, the % amino acid sequence identity of a given amino acid sequence A to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B (which can alternatively be phrased as a given amino acid sequence A that has or comprises a certain % amino acid sequence identity to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B) is calculated as follows:  
     100 times the fraction {fraction (X/Y)} 
     [2925] where X is the number of amino acid residues scored as identical matches by the sequence alignment program NCBI-BLAST2 in that program&#39;s alignment of A and B, and where Y is the total number of amino acid residues in B. It will be appreciated that where the length of amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of amino acid sequence B, the % amino acid sequence identity of A to B will not equal the % amino acid sequence identity of B to A.  
     [2926] “PRO variant polynucleotide” or “PRO variant nucleic acid sequence” means a nucleic acid molecule which encodes an active PRO polypeptide as defined below and which has at least about 80% nucleic acid sequence identity with a nucleotide acid sequence encoding a full-length native sequence PRO polypeptide sequence as disclosed herein, a full-length native sequence PRO polypeptide sequence lacking the signal peptide as disclosed herein, an extracellular domain of a PRO polypeptide, with or without the signal peptide, as disclosed herein or any other fragment of a full-length PRO polypeptide sequence as disclosed herein. Ordinarily, a PRO variant polynucleotide will have at least about 80% nucleic acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 81% nucleic acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 82% nucleic acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 83% nucleic acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 84% nucleic acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 85% nucleic acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 86% nucleic acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 87% nucleic acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 88% nucleic acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 89% nucleic acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 90% nucleic acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 91% nucleic acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 92% nucleic acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 93% nucleic acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 94% nucleic acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 95% nucleic acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 96% nucleic acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 97% nucleic acid sequence identity, more preferably at least about 98% nucleic acid sequence identity and yet more preferably at least about 99% nucleic acid sequence identity with a nucleic acid sequence encoding a full-length native sequence PRO polypeptide sequence as disclosed herein, a full-length native sequence PRO polypeptide sequence lacking the signal peptide as disclosed herein, an extracellular domain of a PRO polypeptide, with or without the signal sequence, as disclosed herein or any other fragment of a full-length PRO polypeptide sequence as disclosed herein. Variants do not encompass the native nucleotide sequence.  
     [2927] Ordinarily, PRO variant polynucleotides are at least about 30 nucleotides in length, often at least about 60 nucleotides in length, more often at least about 90 nucleotides in length, more often at least about 120 nucleotides in length, more often at least about 150 nucleotides in length, more often at least about 180 nucleotides in length, more often at least about 210 nucleotides in length, more often at least about 240 nucleotides in length, more often at least about 270 nucleotides in length, more often at least about 300 nucleotides in length, more often at least about 450 nucleotides in length, more often at least about 600 nucleotides in length, more often at least about 900 nucleotides in length, or more.  
     [2928] “Percent (%) nucleic acid sequence identity” with respect to PRO-encoding nucleic acid sequences identified herein is defined as the percentage of nucleotides in a candidate sequence that are identical with the nucleotides in the PRO nucleic acid sequence of interest, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity. Alignment for purposes of determining percent nucleic acid sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the skill in the art, for instance, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. For purposes herein, however, % nucleic acid sequence identity values are generated using the sequence comparison computer program ALIGN-2, wherein the complete source code for the ALIGN-2 program is provided in Table 1 below. The ALIGN-2 sequence comparison computer program was authored by Genentech, Inc. and the source code shown in Table 1 below has been filed with user documentation in the U.S. Copyright Office, Washington D.C., 20559, where it is registered under U.S. Copyright Registration No. TXU510087. The ALIGN-2 program is publicly available through Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, Calif. or may be compiled from the source code provided in Table 1 below. The ALIGN-2 program should be compiled for use on a UNIX operating system, preferably digital UNIX V4.0D. All sequence comparison parameters are set by the ALIGN-2 program and do not vary.  
     [2929] In situations where ALIGN-2 is employed for nucleic acid sequence comparisons, the % nucleic acid sequence identity of a given nucleic acid sequence C to, with, or against a given nucleic acid sequence D (which can alternatively be phrased as a given nucleic acid sequence C that has or comprises a certain % nucleic acid sequence identity to, with, or against a given nucleic acid sequence D) is calculated as follows:  
     100 times the fraction {fraction (W/Z)} 
     [2930] where W is the number of nucleotides scored as identical matches by the sequence alignment program ALIGN-2 in that program&#39;s alignment of C and D, and where Z is the total number of nucleotides in D. It will be appreciated that where the length of nucleic acid sequence C is not equal to the length of nucleic acid sequence D, the % nucleic acid sequence identity of C to D will not equal the % nucleic acid sequence identity of D to C. As examples of % nucleic acid sequence identity calculations, Tables 4 and 5, demonstrate how to calculate the % nucleic acid sequence identity of the nucleic acid sequence designated “Comparison DNA” to the nucleic acid sequence designated “PRO-DNA”, wherein “PRO-DNA” represents a hypothetical PRO-encoding nucleic acid sequence of interest, “Comparison DNA” represents the nucleotide sequence of a nucleic acid molecule against which the “PRO-DNA” nucleic acid molecule of interest is being compared, and “N”, “L” and “V” each represent different hypothetical nucleotides.  
     [2931] Unless specifically stated otherwise, all % nucleic acid sequence identity values used herein are obtained as described in the immediately preceding paragraph using the ALIGN-2 computer program. However, % nucleic acid sequence identity values may also be obtained as described below by using the WU-BLAST-2 computer program (Altschul et al.,  Methods in Enzymology  266:460-480 (1996)). Most of the WU-BLAST-2 search parameters are set to the default values. Those not set to default values, i.e., the adjustable parameters, are set with the following values: overlap span=1, overlap fraction=0.125, word threshold (T)=11, and scoring matrix=BLOSUM62. When WU-BLAST-2 is employed, a % nucleic acid sequence identity value is determined by dividing (a) the number of matching identical nucleotides between the nucleic acid sequence of the PRO polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid molecule of interest having a sequence derived from the native sequence PRO polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid and the comparison nucleic acid molecule of interest (i.e., the sequence against which the PRO polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid molecule of interest is being compared which may be a variant PRO polynucleotide) as determined by WU-BLAST-2 by (b) the total number of nucleotides of the PRO polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid molecule of interest. For example, in the statement “an isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid sequence A which has or having at least 80% nucleic acid sequence identity to the nucleic acid sequence B”, the nucleic acid sequence A is the comparison nucleic acid molecule of interest and the nucleic acid sequence B is the nucleic acid sequence of the PRO polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid molecule of interest.  
     [2932] Percent nucleic acid sequence identity may also be determined using the sequence comparison program NCBI-BLAST2 (Altschul et al.,  Nucleic Acids Res.  25:3389-3402 (1997)). The NCBI-BLAST2 sequence comparison program may be downloaded from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. NCBI-BLAST2 uses several search parameters, wherein all of those search parameters are set to default values including, for example, unmask=yes, strand=all, expected occurrences=10, minimum low complexity length=15/5, multi-pass e-value=0.01, constant for multi-pass=25, dropoff for final gapped alignment=25 and scoring matrix=BLOSUM62.  
     [2933] In situations where NCBI-BLAST2 is employed for sequence comparisons, the % nucleic acid sequence identity of a given nucleic acid sequence C to, with, or against a given nucleic acid sequence D (which can alternatively be phrased as a given nucleic acid sequence C that has or comprises a certain % nucleic acid sequence identity to, with, or against a given nucleic acid sequence D) is calculated as follows:  
     100 times the fraction {fraction (W/Z)} 
     [2934] where W is the number of nucleotides scored as identical matches by the sequence alignment program NCBI-BLAST2 in that program&#39;s alignment of C and D, and where Z is the total number of nucleotides in D. It will be appreciated that where the length of nucleic acid sequence C is not equal to the length of nucleic acid sequence D, the % nucleic acid sequence identity of C to D will not equal the % nucleic acid sequence identity of D to C.  
     [2935] In other embodiments, PRO variant polynucleotides are nucleic acid molecules that encode an active PRO polypeptide and which are capable of hybridizing, preferably under stringent hybridization and wash conditions, to nucleotide sequences encoding a full-length PRO polypeptide as disclosed herein. PRO variant polypeptides may be those that are encoded by a PRO variant polynucleotide.  
     [2936] The term “positives”, in the context of sequence comparison performed as described above, includes residues in the sequences compared that are not identical but have similar properties (e.g. as a result of conservative substitutions, see Table 6 below). For purposes herein, the % value of positives is determined by dividing (a) the number of amino acid residues scoring a positive value between the PRO polypeptide amino acid sequence of interest having a sequence derived from the native PRO polypeptide sequence and the comparison amino acid sequence of interest (i.e., the amino acid sequence against which the PRO polypeptide sequence is being compared) as determined in the BLOSUM62 matrix of WU-BLAST-2 by (b) the total number of amino acid residues of the PRO polypeptide of interest.  
     [2937] Unless specifically stated otherwise, the % value of positives is calculated as described in the immediately preceding paragraph. However, in the context of the amino acid sequence identity comparisons performed as described for ALIGN-2 and NCBI-BLAST-2 above, includes amino acid residues in the sequences compared that are not only identical, but also those that have similar properties. Amino acid residues that score a positive value to an amino acid residue of interest are those that are either identical to the amino acid residue of interest or are a preferred substitution (as defined in Table 6 below) of the amino acid residue of interest.  
     [2938] For amino acid sequence comparisons using ALIGN-2 or NCBI-BLAST2, the % value of positives of a given amino acid sequence A to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B (which can alternatively be phrased as a given amino acid sequence A that has or comprises a certain % positives to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B) is calculated as follows:  
     100 times the fraction {fraction (X/Y)} 
     [2939] where X is the number of amino acid residues scoring a positive value as defined above by the sequence alignment program ALIGN-2 or NCBI-BLAST2 in that program&#39;s alignment of A and B, and where Y is the total number of amino acid residues in B. It will be appreciated that where the length of amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of amino acid sequence B, the % positives of A to B will not equal the % positives of B to A.  
     [2940] “Isolated,” when used to describe the various polypeptides disclosed herein, means polypeptide that has been identified and separated and/or recovered from a component of its natural environment. Contaminant components of its natural environment are materials that would typically interfere with diagnostic or therapeutic uses for the polypeptide, and may include enzymes, hormones, and other proteinaceous or non-proteinaceous solutes. In preferred embodiments, the polypeptide will be purified (1) to a degree sufficient to obtain at least 15 residues of N-terminal or internal amino acid sequence by use of a spinning cup sequenator, or (2) to homogeneity by SDS-PAGE under non-reducing or reducing conditions using Coomassie blue or, preferably, silver stain. Isolated polypeptide includes polypeptide in situ within recombinant cells, since at least one component of the PRO polypeptide natural environment will not be present. Ordinarily, however, isolated polypeptide will be prepared by at least one purification step.  
     [2941] An “isolated” PRO polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid or other polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid is a nucleic acid molecule that is identified and separated from at least one contaminant nucleic acid molecule with which it is ordinarily associated in the natural source of the polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid. An isolated polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid molecule is other than in the form or setting in which it is found in nature. Isolated polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid molecules therefore are distinguished from the specific polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid molecule as it exists in natural cells. However, an isolated polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid molecule includes polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid molecules contained in cells that ordinarily express the polypeptide where, for example, the nucleic acid molecule is in a chromosomal location different from that of natural cells.  
     [2942] The term “control sequences” refers to DNA sequences necessary for the expression of an operably linked coding sequence in a particular host organism. The control sequences that are suitable for prokaryotes, for example, include a promoter, optionally an operator sequence, and a ribosome binding site. Eukaryotic cells are known to utilize promoters, polyadenylation signals, and enhancers.  
     [2943] Nucleic acid is “operably linked” when it is placed into a functional relationship with another nucleic acid sequence. For example, DNA for a presequence or secretory leader is operably linked to DNA for a polypeptide if it is expressed as a preprotein that participates in the secretion of the polypeptide; a promoter or enhancer is operably linked to a coding sequence if it affects the transcription of the sequence; or a ribosome binding site is operably linked to a coding sequence if it is positioned so as to facilitate translation. Generally, “operably linked” means that the DNA sequences being linked are contiguous, and, in the case of a secretory leader, contiguous and in reading phase. However, enhancers do not have to be contiguous. Linking is accomplished by ligation at convenient restriction sites. If such sites do not exist, the synthetic oligonucleotide adaptors or linkers are used in accordance with conventional practice.  
     [2944] The term “antibody” is used in the broadest sense and specifically covers, for example, single anti-PRO monoclonal antibodies (including agonist, antagonist, and neutralizing antibodies), anti-PRO antibody compositions with polyepitopic specificity, single chain anti-PRO antibodies, and fragments of anti-PRO antibodies (see below). The term “monoclonal antibody” as used herein refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical except for possible naturally-occurring mutations that may be present in minor amounts.  
     [2945] “Stringency” of hybridization reactions is readily determinable by one of ordinary skill in the art, and generally is an empirical calculation dependent upon probe length, washing temperature, and salt concentration. In general, longer probes require higher temperatures for proper annealing, while shorter probes need lower temperatures. Hybridization generally depends on the ability of denatured DNA to reanneal when complementary strands are present in an environment below their melting temperature. The higher the degree of desired homology between the probe and hybridizable sequence, the higher the relative temperature which can be used. As a result, it follows that higher relative temperatures would tend to make the reaction conditions more stringent, while lower temperatures less so. For additional details and explanation of stringency of hybridization reactions, see Ausubel et al.,  Current Protocols in Molecular Biology,  Wiley Interscience Publishers, (1995).  
     [2946] “Stringent conditions” or “high stringency conditions”, as defined herein, may be identified by those that: (1) employ low ionic strength and high temperature for washing, for example 0.015 M sodium chloride/0.0015 M sodium citrate/0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate at 50° C.; (2) employ during hybridization a denaturing agent, such as formamide, for example, 50% (v/v) formamide with 0.1% bovine serum albumin/0.1% Ficoll/0.1% polyvinylpyrrolidone/50 mM sodium phosphate buffer at pH 6.5 with 750 mM sodium chloride, 75 mM sodium citrate at 42° C.; or (3) employ 50% formamide, 5×SSC (0.75 M NaCl, 0.075 M sodium citrate), 50 mM sodium phosphate (pH 6.8), 0.1% sodium pyrophosphate, 5×Denhardt&#39;s solution, sonicated salmon sperm DNA (50 μg/ml), 0.1% SDS, and 10% dextran sulfate at 42° C., with washes at 42° C. in 0.2×SSC (sodium chloride/sodium citrate) and 50% formamide at 55° C., followed by a high-stringency wash consisting of 0.1×SSC containing EDTA at 55° C.  
     [2947] “Moderately stringent conditions” may be identified as described by Sambrook et al.,  Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual,  New York: Cold Spring Harbor Press, 1989, and include the use of washing solution and hybridization conditions (e.g., temperature, ionic strength and % SDS) less stringent that those described above. An example of moderately stringent conditions is overnight incubation at 37° C. in a solution comprising: 20% formamide, 5×SSC (150 mM NaCl, 15 mM trisodium citrate), 50 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.6), 5×Denhardt&#39;s solution, 10% dextran sulfate, and 20 mg/ml denatured sheared salmon sperm DNA, followed by washing the filters in 1×SSC at about 37-50° C. The skilled artisan will recognize how to adjust the temperature, ionic strength, etc. as necessary to accommodate factors such as probe length and the like.  
     [2948] The term “epitope tagged” when used herein refers to a chimeric polypeptide comprising a PRO polypeptide fused to a “tag polypeptide”. The tag polypeptide has enough residues to provide an epitope against which an antibody can be made, yet is short enough such that it does not interfere with activity of the polypeptide to which it is fused. The tag polypeptide preferably also is fairly unique so that the antibody does not substantially cross-react with other epitopes. Suitable tag polypeptides generally have at least six amino acid residues and usually between about 8 and 50 amino acid residues (preferably, between about 10 and 20 amino acid residues).  
     [2949] As used herein, the term “immunoadhesin” designates antibody-like molecules which combine the binding specificity of a heterologous protein (an “adhesin”) with the effector functions of immunoglobulin constant domains. Structurally, the immunoadhesins comprise a fusion of an amino acid sequence with the desired binding specificity which is other than the antigen recognition and binding site of an antibody (i.e., is “heterologous”), and an immunoglobulin constant domain sequence. The adhesin part of an immunoadhesin molecule typically is a contiguous amino acid sequence comprising at least the binding site of a receptor or a ligand. The immunoglobulin constant domain sequence in the immunoadhesin may be obtained from any immunoglobulin, such as IgG-1, IgG-2, IgG-3, or IgG-4 subtypes, IgA (including IgA-1 and IgA-2), IgE, IgD or IgM.  
     [2950] “Active” or “activity” for the purposes herein refers to form(s) of a PRO polypeptide which retain a biological and/or an immunological activity of native or naturally-occurring PRO, wherein “biological” activity refers to a biological function (either inhibitory or stimulatory) caused by a native or naturally-occurring PRO other than the ability to induce the production of an antibody against an antigenic epitope possessed by a native or naturally-occurring PRO and an “immunological” activity refers to the ability to induce the production of an antibody against an antigenic epitope possessed by a native or naturally-occurring PRO.  
     [2951] The term “antagonist” is used in the broadest sense, and includes any molecule that partially or fully blocks, inhibits, or neutralizes a biological activity of a native PRO polypeptide disclosed herein. In a similar manner, the term “agonist” is used in the broadest sense and includes any molecule that mimics a biological activity of a native PRO polypeptide disclosed herein. Suitable agonist or antagonist molecules specifically include agonist or antagonist antibodies or antibody fragments, fragments or amino acid sequence variants of native PRO polypeptides, peptides, antisense oligonucleotides, small organic molecules, etc. Methods for identifying agonists or antagonists of a PRO polypeptide may comprise contacting a PRO polypeptide with a candidate agonist or antagonist molecule and measuring a detectable change in one or more biological activities normally associated with the PRO polypeptide.  
     [2952] “Treatment” refers to both therapeutic treatment and prophylactic or preventative measures, wherein the object is to prevent or slow down (lessen) the targeted pathologic condition or disorder. Those in need of treatment include those already with the disorder as well as those prone to have the disorder or those in whom the disorder is to be prevented.  
     [2953] “Chronic” administration refers to administration of the agent(s) in a continuous mode as opposed to an acute mode, so as to maintain the initial therapeutic effect (activity) for an extended period of time. “Intermittent” administration is treatment that is not consecutively done without interruption, but rather is cyclic in nature.  
     [2954] “Mammal” for purposes of treatment refers to any animal classified as a mammal, including humans, domestic and farm animals, and zoo, sports, or pet animals, such as dogs, cats, cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, goats, rabbits, etc. Preferably, the mammal is human.  
     [2955] Administration “in combination with” one or more further therapeutic agents includes simultaneous (concurrent) and consecutive administration in any order.  
     [2956] “Carriers” as used herein include pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients, or stabilizers which are nontoxic to the cell or mammal being exposed thereto at the dosages and concentrations employed. Often the physiologically acceptable carrier is an aqueous pH buffered solution. Examples of physiologically acceptable carriers include buffers such as phosphate, citrate, and other organic acids; antioxidants including ascorbic acid; low molecular weight (less than about 10 residues) polypeptide; proteins, such as serum albumin, gelatin, or immunoglobulins; hydrophilic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone; amino acids such as glycine, glutamine, asparagine, arginine or lysine; monosaccharides, disaccharides, and other carbohydrates including glucose, mannose, or dextrins; chelating agents such as EDTA; sugar alcohols such as mannitol or sorbitol; salt-forming counterions such as sodium; and/or nonionic surfactants such as TWEEN™, polyethylene glycol (PEG), and PLURONIC™.  
     [2957] “Antibody fragments” comprise a portion of an intact antibody, preferably the antigen binding or variable region of the intact antibody. Examples of antibody fragments include Fab, Fab′, F(ab′) 2 , and Fv fragments; diabodies; linear antibodies (Zapata et al.,  Protein Eng.  8(10): 1057-1062[1995]); single-chain antibody molecules; and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments.  
     [2958] Papain digestion of antibodies produces two identical antigen-binding fragments, called “Fab” fragments, each with a single antigen-binding site, and a residual “Fc” fragment, a designation reflecting the ability to crystallize readily. Pepsin treatment yields an F(ab′) 2  fragment that has two antigen-combining sites and is still capable of cross-linking antigen.  
     [2959] “Fv” is the minimum antibody fragment which contains a complete antigen-recognition and -binding site. This region consists of a dimer of one heavy- and one light-chain variable domain in tight, non-covalent association. It is in this configuration that the three CDRs of each variable domain interact to define an antigen-binding site on the surface of the V H -V L  dimer. Collectively, the six CDRs confer antigen-binding specificity to the antibody. However, even a single variable domain (or half of an Fv comprising only three CDRs specific for an antigen) has the ability to recognize and bind antigen, although at a lower affinity than the entire binding site.  
     [2960] The Fab fragment also contains the constant domain of the light chain and the first constant domain (CH1) of the heavy chain. Fab fragments differ from Fab′ fragments by the addition of a few residues at the carboxy terminus of the heavy chain CH1 domain including one or more cysteines from the antibody hinge region. Fab′-SH is the designation herein for Fab′ in which the cysteine residue(s) of the constant domains bear a free thiol group. F(ab′) 2  antibody fragments originally were produced as pairs of Fab′ fragments which have hinge cysteines between them. Other chemical couplings of antibody fragments are also known.  
     [2961] The “light chains” of antibodies (immunoglobulins) from any vertebrate species can be assigned to one of two clearly distinct types, called kappa and lambda, based on the amino acid sequences of their constant domains.  
     [2962] Depending on the amino acid sequence of the constant domain of their heavy chains, immunoglobulins can be assigned to different classes. There are five major classes of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, and several of these may be further divided into subclasses (isotypes), e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA, and IgA2.  
     [2963] “Single-chain Fv” or “sFv” antibody fragments comprise the V H  and V L  domains of antibody, wherein these domains are present in a single polypeptide chain. Preferably, the Fv polypeptide further comprises a polypeptide linker between the V H  and V L  domains which enables the sFv to form the desired structure for antigen binding. For a review of sFv, see Pluckthun in  The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies,  vol. 113, Rosenburg and Moore eds., Springer-Verlag, New York, pp. 269-315 (1994).  
     [2964] The term “diabodies” refers to small antibody fragments with two antigen-binding sites, which fragments comprise a heavy-chain variable domain (V H ) connected to a light-chain variable domain (V L ) in the same polypeptide chain (V H -V L ). By using a linker that is too short to allow pairing between the two domains on the same chain, the domains are forced to pair with the complementary domains of another chain and create two antigen-binding sites. Diabodies are described more fully in, for example, EP 404,097; WO 93/11161; and Hollinger et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA,  90:6444-6448 (1993).  
     [2965] An “isolated” antibody is one which has been identified and separated and/or recovered from a component of its natural environment. Contaminant components of its natural environment are materials which would interfere with diagnostic or therapeutic uses for the antibody, and may include enzymes, hormones, and other proteinaceous or nonproteinaceous solutes. In preferred embodiments, the antibody will be purified (1) to greater than 95% by weight of antibody as determined by the Lowry method, and most preferably more than 99% by weight, (2) to a degree sufficient to obtain at least 15 residues of N-terminal or internal amino acid sequence by use of a spinning cup sequenator, or (3) to homogeneity by SDS-PAGE under reducing or nonreducing conditions using Coomassie blue or, preferably, silver stain. Isolated antibody includes the antibody in situ within recombinant cells since at least one component of the antibody&#39;s natural environment will not be present. Ordinarily, however, isolated antibody will be prepared by at least one purification step.  
     [2966] The word “label” when used herein refers to a detectable compound or composition which is conjugated directly or indirectly to the antibody so as to generate a “labeled” antibody. The label may be detectable by itself (e.g. radioisotope labels or fluorescent labels) or, in the case of an enzymatic label, may catalyze chemical alteration of a substrate compound or composition which is detectable.  
     [2967] By “solid phase” is meant a non-aqueous matrix to which the antibody of the present invention can adhere. Examples of solid phases encompassed herein include those formed partially or entirely of glass (e.g., controlled pore glass), polysaccharides (e.g., agarose), polyacrylamides, polystyrene, polyvinyl alcohol and silicones. In certain embodiments, depending on the context, the solid phase can comprise the well of an assay plate; in others it is a purification column (e.g., an affinity chromatography column). This term also includes a discontinuous solid phase of discrete particles, such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,275,149.  
     [2968] A “liposome” is a small vesicle composed of various types of lipids, phospholipids and/or surfactant which is useful for delivery of a drug (such as a PRO polypeptide or antibody thereto) to a mammal. The components of the liposome are commonly arranged in a bilayer formation, similar to the lipid arrangement of biological membranes.  
     [2969] A “small molecule” is defined herein to have a molecular weight below about 500 Daltons.

     [3333] B. PRO Polypeptide Variants  
     [3334] In addition to the full-length native sequence PRO polypeptides described herein, it is contemplated that PRO variants can be prepared. PRO variants can be prepared by introducing appropriate nucleotide changes into the PRO DNA, and/or by synthesis of the desired PRO polypeptide. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that amino acid changes may alter post-translational processes of the PRO, such as changing the number or position of glycosylation sites or altering the membrane anchoring characteristics.  
     [3335] Variations in the native full-length sequence PRO or in various domains of the PRO described herein, can be made, for example, using any of the techniques and guidelines for conservative and non-conservative mutations set forth, for instance, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,364,934. Variations may be a substitution, deletion or insertion of one or more codons encoding the PRO that results in a change in the amino acid sequence of the PRO as compared with the native sequence PRO. Optionally the variation is by substitution of at least one amino acid with any other amino acid in one or more of the domains of the PRO. Guidance in determining which amino acid residue may be inserted, substituted or deleted without adversely affecting the desired activity may be found by comparing the sequence of the PRO with that of homologous known protein molecules and minimizing the number of amino acid sequence changes made in regions of high homology. Amino acid substitutions can be the result of replacing one amino acid with another amino acid having similar structural and/or chemical properties, such as the replacement of a leucine with a serine, i.e., conservative amino acid replacements. Insertions or deletions may optionally be in the range of about 1 to 5 amino acids. The variation allowed may be determined by systematically making insertions, deletions or substitutions of amino acids in the sequence and testing the resulting variants for activity exhibited by the full-length or mature native sequence.  
     [3336] PRO polypeptide fragments are provided herein. Such fragments may be truncated at the N-terminus or C-terminus, or may lack internal residues, for example, when compared with a full length native protein. Certain fragments lack amino acid residues that are not essential for a desired biological activity of the PRO polypeptide.  
     [3337] PRO fragments may be prepared by any of a number of conventional techniques. Desired peptide fragments may be chemically synthesized. An alternative approach involves generating PRO fragments by enzymatic digestion, e.g., by treating the protein with an enzyme known to cleave proteins at sites defined by particular amino acid residues, or by digesting the DNA with suitable restriction enzymes and isolating the desired fragment. Yet another suitable technique involves isolating and amplifying a DNA fragment encoding a desired polypeptide fragment, by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Oligonucleotides that define the desired termini of the DNA fragment are employed at the 5′ and 3′ primers in the PCR. Preferably, PRO polypeptide fragments share at least one biological and/or immunological activity with the native PRO polypeptide disclosed herein.  
     [3338] In particular embodiments, conservative substitutions of interest are shown in Table 6 under the heading of preferred substitutions. If such substitutions result in a change in biological activity, then more substantial changes, denominated exemplary substitutions in Table 6, or as further described below in reference to amino acid classes, are introduced and the products screened.  
                               TABLE 6                                   Original   Exemplary   Preferred           Residue   Substitutions   Substitutions                          Ala (A)   val; leu; ile   val           Arg (R)   lys; gln; asn   lys           Asn (N)   gln; his; lys; arg   gln           Asp (D)   glu   glu           Cys (C)   ser   ser           Gln (Q)   asn   asn           Gln (E)   asp   asp           Gly (G)   pro; ala   ala           His (H)   asn; gln; lys; arg   arg           Ile (I)   leu; val; met; ala; phe;   leu               norleucine           Leu (L)   norleucine; ile; val;   ile               met; ala; phe           Lys (K)   arg; gln; asn   arg           Met (M)   leu; phe; ile   leu           Phe (F)   leu; val; ile; ala; tyr   leu           Pro (P)   ala   ala           Ser (S)   thr   thr           Thr (T)   ser   ser           Trp (W)   tyr; phe   tyr           Tyr (Y)   trp; phe; thr; ser   phe           Val (V)   ile; leu; met; phe;   leu               ala; norleucine                      
 
     [3339] Substantial modifications in function or immunological identity of the PRO polypeptide are accomplished by selecting substitutions that differ significantly in their effect on maintaining (a) the structure of the polypeptide backbone in the area of the substitution, for example, as a sheet or helical conformation, (b) the charge or hydrophobicity of the molecule at the target site, or (c) the bulk of the side chain. Naturally occurring residues are divided into groups based on common side-chain properties:  
     [3340] (1) hydrophobic: norleucine, met, ala, val, leu, ile;  
     [3341] (2) neutral hydrophilic: cys, ser, thr;  
     [3342] (3) acidic: asp, glu;  
     [3343] (4) basic: asn, gin, his, lys, arg;  
     [3344] (5) residues that influence chain orientation: gly, pro; and  
     [3345] (6) aromatic: trp, tyr, phe.  
     [3346] Non-conservative substitutions will entail exchanging a member of one of these classes for another class. Such substituted residues also may be introduced into the conservative substitution sites or, more preferably, into the remaining (non-conserved) sites.  
     [3347] The variations can be made using methods known in the art such as oligonucleotide-mediated (site-directed) mutagenesis, alanine scanning, and PCR mutagenesis. Site-directed mutagenesis [Carter et al.,  Nucl. Acids Res.,  13:4331 (1986); Zoller et al.,  Nucl. Acids Res.,  10:6487 (1987)], cassette mutagenesis [Wells et al.,  Gene,  34:315 (1985)], restriction selection mutagenesis [Wells et al.,  Philos. Trans. R. Soc. London SerA,  317:415 (1986)] or other known techniques can be performed on the cloned DNA to produce the PRO variant DNA.  
     [3348] Scanning amino acid analysis can also be employed to identify one or more amino acids along a contiguous sequence. Among the preferred scanning amino acids are relatively small, neutral amino acids. Such amino acids include alanine, glycine, serine, and cysteine. Alanine is typically a preferred scanning amino acid among this group because it eliminates the side-chain beyond the beta-carbon and is less likely to alter the main-chain conformation of the variant [Cunningham and Wells,  Science,  244: 1081-1085 (1989)]. Alanine is also typically preferred because it is the most common amino acid. Further, it is frequently found in both buried and exposed positions [Creighton,  The Proteins,  (W. H. Freeman &amp; Co., N.Y.); Chothia,  J. Mol. Biol.,  150: 1 (1976)]. If alanine substitution does not yield adequate amounts of variant, an isoteric amino acid can be used.  
     [3349] C. Modifications of PRO  
     [3350] Covalent modifications of PRO are included within the scope of this invention. One type of covalent modification includes reacting targeted amino acid residues of a PRO polypeptide with an organic derivatizing agent that is capable of reacting with selected side chains or the N- or C-terminal residues of the PRO. Derivatization with bifunctional agents is useful, for instance, for crosslinking PRO to a water-insoluble support matrix or surface for use in the method for purifying anti-PRO antibodies, and vice-versa. Commonly used crosslinking agents include, e.g., 1,1-bis(diazoacetyl)-2-phenylethane, glutaraldehyde, N-hydroxysuccinimide esters, for example, esters with 4-azidosalicylic acid, homobifunctional imidoesters, including disuccinimidyl esters such as 3,3′-dithiobis(succinimidylpropionate), bifunctional maleimides such as bis-N-maleimido-1,8-octane and agents such as methyl-3-[(p-azidophenyl)dithio]propioimidate.  
     [3351] Other modifications include deamidation of glutaminyl and asparaginyl residues to the corresponding glutamyl and aspartyl residues, respectively, hydroxylation of proline and lysine, phosphorylation of hydroxyl groups of seryl or threonyl residues, methylation of the α-amino groups of lysine, arginine, and histidine side chains [T. E. Creighton,  Proteins: Structure and Molecular Properties,  W. H. Freeman &amp; Co., San Francisco, pp. 79-86 (1983)], acetylation of the N-terminal amine, and amidation of any C-terminal carboxyl group.  
     [3352] Another type of covalent modification of the PRO polypeptide included within the scope of this invention comprises altering the native glycosylation pattern of the polypeptide. “Altering the native glycosylation pattern” is intended for purposes herein to mean deleting one or more carbohydrate moieties found in native sequence PRO (either by removing the underlying glycosylation site or by deleting the glycosylation by chemical and/or enzymatic means), and/or adding one or more glycosylation sites that are not present in the native sequence PRO. In addition, the phrase includes qualitative changes in the glycosylation of the native proteins, involving a change in the nature and proportions of the various carbohydrate moieties present.  
     [3353] Addition of glycosylation sites to the PRO polypeptide may be accomplished by altering the amino acid sequence. The alteration may be made, for example, by the addition of, or substitution by, one or more serine or threonine residues to the native sequence PRO (for O-linked glycosylation sites). The PRO amino acid sequence may optionally be altered through changes at the DNA level, particularly by mutating the DNA encoding the PRO polypeptide at preselected bases such that codons are generated that will translate into the desired amino acids.  
     [3354] Another means of increasing the number of carbohydrate moieties on the PRO polypeptide is by chemical or enzymatic coupling of glycosides to the polypeptide. Such methods are described in the art, e.g., in WO 87105330 published Sep. 11, 1987, and in Aplin and Wriston,  CRC Crit. Rev. Biochem.,  pp. 259-306 (1981).  
     [3355] Removal of carbohydrate moieties present on the PRO polypeptide may be accomplished chemically or enzymatically or by mutational substitution of codons encoding for amino acid residues that serve as targets for glycosylation. Chemical deglycosylation techniques are known in the art and described, for instance, by Hakimuddin, et al.,  Arch. Biochem. Biophys.,  259:52 (1987) and by Edge et al.,  Anal. Biochem.,  118:131 (1981). Enzymatic cleavage of carbohydrate moieties on polypeptides can be achieved by the use of a variety of endo- and exo-glycosidases as described by Thotakura et al.,  Meth. Enzymol.,  138:350 (1987).  
     [3356] Another type of covalent modification of PRO comprises linking the PRO polypeptide to one of a variety of nonproteinaceous polymers, e.g., polyethylene glycol (PEG), polypropylene glycol, or polyoxyalkylenes, in the manner set forth in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,640,835; 4,496,689; 4,301,144; 4,670,417; 4,791,192 or 4,179,337.  
     [3357] The PRO of the present invention may also be modified in a way to form a chimeric molecule comprising PRO fused to another, heterologous polypeptide or amino acid sequence.  
     [3358] In one embodiment, such a chimeric molecule comprises a fusion of the PRO with a tag polypeptide which provides an epitope to which an anti-tag antibody can selectively bind. The epitope tag is generally placed at the amino- or carboxyl-terminus of the PRO. The presence of such epitope-tagged forms of the PRO can be detected using an antibody against the tag polypeptide. Also, provision of the epitope tag enables the PRO to be readily purified by affinity purification using an anti-tag antibody or another type of affinity matrix that binds to the epitope tag. Various tag polypeptides and their respective antibodies are well known in the art. Examples include poly-histidine (poly-his) or poly-histidine-glycine (poly-his-gly) tags; the flu HA tag polypeptide and its antibody 12CA5 [Field et al.,  Mol. Cell. Biol.,  8:2159-2165 (1988)]; the c-myc tag and the 8F9, 3C7, 6E10, G4, B7 and 9E10 antibodies thereto [Evan et al.,  Molecular and Cellular Biology,  5:3610-3616 (1985)]; and the Herpes Simplex virus glycoprotein D (gD) tag and its antibody [Paborsky et al.,  Protein Engineering,  3(6):547-553 (1990)]. Other tag polypeptides include the Flag-peptide [Hopp et al.,  BioTechnology,  6:1204-1210 (1988)]; the KT3 epitope peptide [Martin et al.,  Science,  255:192-194 (1992)]; an α-tubulin epitope peptide [Skinner et al.,  J. Biol. Chem.,  266:15163-15166 (1991)]; and the T7 gene 10 protein peptide tag [Lutz-Freyermuth et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA,  87:6393-6397 (1990)].  
     [3359] In an alternative embodiment, the chimeric molecule may comprise a fusion of the PRO with an immunoglobulin or a particular region of an immunoglobulin. For a bivalent form of the chimeric molecule (also referred to as an “immunoadhesin”), such a fusion could be to the Fc region of an IgG molecule. The Ig fusions preferably include the substitution of a soluble (transmembrane domain deleted or inactivated) form of a PRO polypeptide in place of at least one variable region within an Ig molecule. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the immunoglobulin fusion includes the hinge, CH2 and CH3, or the hinge, CH1, CH2 and CH3 regions of an IgG1 molecule. For the production of immunoglobulin fusions see also U.S. Pat. No. 5,428,130 issued Jun. 27, 1995.  
     [3360] D. Preparation of PRO  
     [3361] The description below relates primarily to production of PRO by culturing cells transformed or transfected with a vector containing PRO nucleic acid. It is, of course, contemplated that alternative methods, which are well known in the art, may be employed to prepare PRO. For instance, the PRO sequence, or portions thereof, may be produced by direct peptide synthesis using solid-phase techniques [see, e.g., Stewart et al.,  Solid - Phase Peptide Synthesis,  W. H. Freeman Co., San Francisco, Calif. (1969); Merrifield,  J. Am. Chem. Soc.,  85:2149-2154 (1963)]. In vitro protein synthesis may be performed using manual techniques or by automation. Automated synthesis may be accomplished, for instance, using an Applied Biosystems Peptide Synthesizer (Foster City, Calif.) using manufacturer&#39;s instructions. Various portions of the PRO may be chemically synthesized separately and combined using chemical or enzymatic methods to produce the full-length PRO.  
     [3362] 1. Isolation of DNA Encoding PRO  
     [3363] DNA encoding PRO may be obtained from a cDNA library prepared from tissue believed to possess the PRO mRNA and to express it at a detectable level. Accordingly, human PRO DNA can be conveniently obtained from a cDNA library prepared from human tissue, such as described in the Examples. The PRO-encoding gene may also be obtained from a genomic library or by known synthetic procedures (e.g., automated nucleic acid synthesis).  
     [3364] Libraries can be screened with probes (such as antibodies to the PRO or oligonucleotides of at least about 20-80 bases) designed to identify the gene of interest or the protein encoded by it. Screening the cDNA or genomic library with the selected probe may be conducted using standard procedures, such as described in Sambrook et al.,  Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual  (New York: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1989). An alternative means to isolate the gene encoding PRO is to use PCR methodology [Sambrook et al., supra; Dieffenbach et al.,  PCR Primer: A Laboratory Manual  (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1995)].  
     [3365] The Examples below describe techniques for screening a cDNA library. The oligonucleotide sequences selected as probes should be of sufficient length and sufficiently unambiguous that false positives are minimized. The oligonucleotide is preferably labeled such that it can be detected upon hybridization to DNA in the library being screened. Methods of labeling are well known in the art, and include the use of radiolabels like  32 P-labeled ATP, biotinylation or enzyme labeling. Hybridization conditions, including moderate stringency and high stringency, are provided in Sambrook et al., supra.  
     [3366] Sequences identified in such library screening methods can be compared and aligned to other known sequences deposited and available in public databases such as GenBank or other private sequence databases. Sequence identity (at either the amino acid or nucleotide level) within defined regions of the molecule or across the full-length sequence can be determined using methods known in the art and as described herein.  
     [3367] Nucleic acid having protein coding sequence may be obtained by screening selected cDNA or genomic libraries using the deduced amino acid sequence disclosed herein for the first time, and, if necessary, using conventional primer extension procedures as described in Sambrook et al., supra, to detect precursors and processing intermediates of mRNA that may not have been reverse-transcribed into cDNA.  
     [3368] 2. Selection and Transformation of Host Cells  
     [3369] Host cells are transfected or transformed with expression or cloning vectors described herein for PRO production and cultured in conventional nutrient media modified as appropriate for inducing promoters, selecting transformants, or amplifying the genes encoding the desired sequences. The culture conditions, such as media, temperature, pH and the like, can be selected by the skilled artisan without undue experimentation. In general, principles, protocols, and practical techniques for maximizing the productivity of cell cultures can be found in  Mammalian Cell Biotechnology: a Practical Approach,  M. Butler, ed. (IRL Press, 1991) and Sambrook et al., supra.  
     [3370] Methods of eukaryotic cell transfection and prokaryotic cell transformation are known to the ordinarily skilled artisan, for example, CaCl 2 , CaPO 4 , liposome-mediated and electroporation. Depending on the host cell used, transformation is performed using standard techniques appropriate to such cells. The calcium treatment employing calcium chloride, as described in Sambrook et al., supra, or electroporation is generally used for prokaryotes. Infection with  Agrobacterium tumefaciens  is used for transformation of certain plant cells, as described by Shaw et al.,  Gene,  23:315 (1983) and WO 89/05859 published Jun. 29, 1989. For mammalian cells without such cell walls, the calcium phosphate precipitation method of Graham and van der Eb,  Virology,  52:456-457 (1978) can be employed. General aspects of mammalian cell host system transfections have been described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,399,216. Transformations into yeast are typically carried out according to the method of Van Solingen et al.,  J. Bact.,  130:946 (1977) and Hsiao et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.  ( USA ), 76:3829 (1979). However, other methods for introducing DNA into cells, such as by nuclear microinjection, electroporation, bacterial protoplast fusion with intact cells, or polycations, e.g., polybrene, polyornithine, may also be used. For various techniques for transforming mammalian cells, see Keown et al.,  Methods in Enzymology,  185:527-537 (1990) and Mansour et al.,  Nature,  336:348-352 (1988).  
     [3371] Suitable host cells for cloning or expressing the DNA in the vectors herein include prokaryote, yeast, or higher eukaryote cells. Suitable prokaryotes include but are not limited to eubacteria, such as Gram-negative or Gram-positive organisms, for example, Enterobacteriaceae such as  E. coli.  Various  E. coli  strains are publicly available, such as  E. coli  K12 strain MM294 (ATCC 31,446);  E. coli  X1776 (ATCC 31,537);  E. coli  strain W3110 (ATCC 27,325) and K5 772 (ATCC 53,635). Other suitable prokaryotic host cells include Enterobacteriaceae such as Escherichia, e.g.,  E. coli,  Enterobacter, Erwinia, Klebsiella, Proteus, Salmonella, e.g.,  Salmonella typhimurium,  Serratia, e.g.,  Serratia marcescans,  and Shigella, as well as Bacilli such as  B. subtilis  and  B. licheniformis  (e.g.,  B. licheniformis  41P disclosed in DD 266,710 published Apr. 12, 1989), Pseudomonas such as  P. aeruginosa,  and Streptonyces. These examples are illustrative rather than limiting. Strain W3110 is one particularly preferred host or parent host because it is a common host strain for recombinant DNA product fermentations. Preferably, the host cell secretes minimal amounts of proteolytic enzymes. For example, strain W3110 may be modified to effect a genetic mutation in the genes encoding proteins endogenous to the host, with examples of such hosts including  E. coli  W3110 strain 1A2, which has the complete genotype tonA;  E. coli  W3110 strain 9E4, which has the complete genotype tonA ptr3;  E. coli  W3110 strain 27C7 (ATCC 55,244), which has the complete genotype tonA ptr3 phoA E15 (argF-lac)169 degP ompT kan r   ; E. coli  W3110 strain 37D6, which has the complete genotype tonA ptr3 phoA E15 (argF-lac)169 degP ompT rbs7ilvG kan r   ; E. coli  W3110 strain 40B4, which is strain 37D6 with a non-kanamycin resistant degP deletion mutation; and an  E. coli  strain having mutant periplasmic protease disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,946,783 issued Aug. 7, 1990. Alternatively, in vitro methods of cloning, e.g., PCR or other nucleic acid polymerase reactions, are suitable.  
     [3372] In addition to prokaryotes, eukaryotic microbes such as filamentous fungi or yeast are suitable cloning or expression hosts for PRO-encoding vectors.  Saccharomyces cerevisiae  is a commonly used lower eukaryotic host microorganism. Others include  Schizosaccharomyces pombe  (Beach and Nurse,  Nature,  290: 140 [1981]; EP 139,383 published May 2, 1985); Kluyveromyces hosts (U.S. Pat. No. 4,943,529; Fleer et al.,  Bio/Technology,  9:968-975 (1991)) such as, e.g.,  K. lactis  (MW98-8C, CBS683, CBS4574; Louvencourt et al.,  J. Bacteriol.,  154(2):737-742 [1983]),  K. fragilis  (ATCC 12,424),  K. bulgaricus  (ATCC 16,045),  K. wickeramii  (ATCC 24,178),  K. waltii  (ATCC 56,500),  K. drosophilarum  (ATCC 36,906; Van den Berg et al.,  Bio/Technology,  8:135 (1990)),  K. thermotolerans,  and  K. marxianus; yarrowia  (EP 402,226);  Pichia pastoris  (EP 183,070; Sreekrishna et al.,  J. Basic Microbiol.,  28:265-278 [1988]); Candida;  Trichoderma reesia  (EP 244,234);  Neurospora crassa  (Case et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA,  76:5259-5263 [1979]); Schwanniomyces such as  Schwanniomyces occidentalis  (EP 394,538 published Oct. 31, 1990); and filamentous fungi such as, e.g., Neurospora, Penicillium, Tolypocladium (WO 91/00357 published Jan. 10, 1991), and Aspergillus hosts such as  A. nidulans  (Ballance et al.,  Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun.,  112:284-289 [1983]; Tilburn et al.,  Gene,  26:205-221 [1983]; Yelton et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA,  81: 1470-1474 [1984]) and  A. niger  (Kelly and Hynes,  EMBO J.,  4:475-479 [1985]). Methylotropic yeasts are suitable herein and include, but are not limited to, yeast capable of growth on methanol selected from the genera consisting of Hansenula, Candida, Kloeckera, Pichia, Saccharomyces, Torulopsis, and Rhodotorula. A list of specific species that are exemplary of this class of yeasts may be found in C. Anthony,  The Biochemistry of Methylotrophs,  269 (1982).  
     [3373] Suitable host cells for the expression of glycosylated PRO are derived from multicellular organisms. Examples of invertebrate cells include insect cells such as Drosophila S2 and Spodoptera Sf9, as well as plant cells. Examples of useful mammalian host cell lines include Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and COS cells. More specific examples include monkey kidney CV1 line transformed by SV40 (COS-7, ATCC CRL 1651); human embryonic kidney line (293 or 293 cells subcloned for growth in suspension culture, Graham et al.,  J. Gen Virol.,  36:59 (1977)); Chinese hamster ovary cells/-DHFR (CHO, Urlaub and Chasin,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA,  77:4216 (1980)); mouse sertoli cells (TM4, Mather,  Biol. Reprod.,  23:243-251 (1980)); human lung cells (W138, ATCC CCL 75); human liver cells (Hep G2, HB 8065); and mouse mammary tumor (MMT 060562, ATCC CCL51). The selection of the appropriate host cell is deemed to be within the skill in the art.  
     [3374] 3. Selection and Use of a Replicable Vector  
     [3375] The nucleic acid (e.g., cDNA or genomic DNA) encoding PRO may be inserted into a replicable vector for cloning (amplification of the DNA) or for expression. Various vectors are publicly available. The vector may, for example, be in the form of a plasmid, cosmid, viral particle, or phage. The appropriate nucleic acid sequence may be inserted into the vector by a variety of procedures. In general, DNA is inserted into an appropriate restriction endonuclease site(s) using techniques known in the art. Vector components generally include, but are not limited to, one or more of a signal sequence, an origin of replication, one or more marker genes, an enhancer element, a promoter, and a transcription termination sequence. Construction of suitable vectors containing one or more of these components employs standard ligation techniques which are known to the skilled artisan.  
     [3376] The PRO may be produced recombinantly not only directly, but also as a fusion polypeptide with a heterologous polypeptide, which may be a signal sequence or other polypeptide having a specific cleavage site at the N-terminus of the mature protein or polypeptide. In general, the signal sequence may be a component of the vector, or it may be a part of the PRO-encoding DNA that is inserted into the vector. The signal sequence may be a prokaryotic signal sequence selected, for example, from the group of the alkaline phosphatase, penicillinase, lpp, or heat-stable enterotoxin II leaders. For yeast secretion the signal sequence may be, e.g., the yeast invertase leader, alpha factor leader (including Saccharomyces and Kluyveromyces α-factor leaders, the latter described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,010,182), or acid phosphatase leader, the  C. albicans  glucoamylase leader (EP 362,179 published Apr. 4, 1990), or the signal described in WO 90/13646 published Nov. 15, 1990. In mammalian cell expression, mamaalian signal sequences may be used to direct secretion of the protein, such as signal sequences from secreted polypeptides of the same or related species, as well as viral secretory leaders.  
     [3377] Both expression and cloning vectors contain a nucleic acid sequence that enables the vector to replicate in one or more selected host cells. Such sequences are well known for a variety of bacteria, yeast, and viruses. The origin of replication from the plasmid pBR322 is suitable for most Gram-negative bacteria, the 2 μ plasmid origin is suitable for yeast, and various viral origins (SV40, polyoma, adenovirus, VSV or BPV) are useful for cloning vectors in mammalian cells.  
     [3378] Expression and cloning vectors will typically contain a selection gene, also termed a selectable marker. Typical selection genes encode proteins that (a) confer resistance to antibiotics or other toxins, e.g., ampicillin, neomycin, methotrexate, or tetracycline, (b) complement auxotrophic deficiencies, or (c) supply critical nutrients not available from complex media, e.g., the gene encoding D-alanine racemase for Bacilli.  
     [3379] An example of suitable selectable markers for mammalian cells are those that enable the identification of cells competent to take up the PRO-encoding nucleic acid, such as DHFR or thymidine kinase. An appropriate host cell when wild-type DHFR is employed is the CHO cell line deficient in DHFR activity, prepared and propagated as described by Urlaub et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA,  77:4216 (1980). A suitable selection gene for use in yeast is the trp1 gene present in the yeast plasmid YRp7 [Stinchcomb et al.,  Nature,  282:39 (1979); Kingsman et al.,  Gene,  7:141 (1979); Tschemper et al.,  Gene,  10: 157 (1980)]. The trp1 gene provides a selection marker for a mutant strain of yeast lacking the ability to grow in tryptophan, for example, ATCC No. 44076 or PEP4-1 [Jones,  Genetics,  85:12 (1977)].  
     [3380] Expression and cloning vectors usually contain a promoter operably linked to the PRO-encoding nucleic acid sequence to direct mRNA synthesis. Promoters recognized by a variety of potential host cells are well known. Promoters suitable for use with prokaryotic hosts include the β-lactamase and lactose promoter systems [Chang et al.,  Nature,  275:615 (1978); Goeddel et al.,  Nature,  281:544 (1979)], alkaline phosphatase, a tryptophan (trp) promoter system [Goeddel,  Nucleic Acids Res.,  8:4057 (1980); EP 36,776], and hybrid promoters such as the tac promoter [deBoer et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA,  80:21-25 (1983)]. Promoters for use in bacterial systems also will contain a Shine-Dalgarno (S.D.) sequence operably linked to the DNA encoding PRO.  
     [3381] Examples of suitable promoting sequences for use with yeast hosts include the promoters for 3-phosphoglycerate kinase [Hitzeman et al.,  J. Biol. Chem.,  255:2073 (1980)] or other glycolytic enzymes [Hess et al.,  J. Adv. Enzyme Ret.,  7:149 (1968); Holland,  Biochemistry,  17:4900 (1978)], such as enolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, hexokinase, pyruvate decarboxylase, phosphofructokinase, glucose-6-phosphate isomerase, 3-phosphoglycerate mutase, pyruvate kinase, triosephosphate isomerase, phosphoglucose isomerase, and glucokinase.  
     [3382] Other yeast promoters, which are inducible promoters having the additional advantage of transcription controlled by growth conditions, are the promoter regions for alcohol dehydrogenase 2, isocytochrome C, acid phosphatase, degradative enzymes associated with nitrogen metabolism, metallothionein, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and enzymes responsible for maltose and galactose utilization. Suitable vectors and promoters for use in yeast expression are further described in EP 73,657.  
     [3383] PRO transcription from vectors in mammalian host cells is controlled, for example, by promoters obtained from the genomes of viruses such as polyoma virus, fowlpox virus (UK 2,211,504 published Jul. 5, 1989), adenovirus (such as Adenovirus 2), bovine papilloma virus, avian sarcoma virus, cytomegalovirus, a retrovirus, hepatitis-B virus and Simian Virus 40 (SV40), from heterologous mammalian promoters, e.g., the actin promoter or an immunoglobulin promoter, and from heat-shock promoters, provided such promoters are compatible with the host cell systems.  
     [3384] Transcription of a DNA encoding the PRO by higher eukaryotes may be increased by inserting an enhancer sequence into the vector. Enhancers are cis-acting elements of DNA, usually about from 10 to 300 bp, that act on a promoter to increase its transcription. Many enhancer sequences are now known from mammalian genes (globin, elastase, albumin, α-fetoprotein, and insulin). Typically, however, one will use an enhancer from a eukaryotic cell virus. Examples include the SV40 enhancer on the late side of the replication origin (bp 100-270), the cytomegalovirus early promoter enhancer, the polyoma enhancer on the late side of the replication origin, and adenovirus enhancers. The enhancer may be spliced into the vector at a position 5′ or 3′ to the PRO coding sequence, but is preferably located at a site 5′ from the promoter.  
     [3385] Expression vectors used in eukaryotic host cells (yeast, fungi, insect, plant, animal, human, or nucleated cells from other multicellular organisms) will also contain sequences necessary for the termination of transcription and for stabilizing the mRNA. Such sequences are commonly available from the 5′ and, occasionally 3′, untranslated regions of eukaryotic or viral DNAs or cDNAs. These regions contain nucleotide segments transcribed as polyadenylated fragments in the untranslated portion of the mRNA encoding PRO.  
     [3386] Still other methods, vectors, and host cells suitable for adaptation to the synthesis of PRO in recombinant vertebrate cell culture are described in Gething et al.,  Nature,  293:620-625 (1981); Mantei et al.,  Nature,  281:4046 (1979); EP 117,060; and EP 117,058.  
     [3387] 4. Detecting Gene Amplification/Expression  
     [3388] Gene amplification and/or expression may be measured in a sample directly, for example, by conventional Southen blotting, Northern blotting to quantitate the transcription of mRNA [Thomas,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA,  77:5201-5205 (1980)], dot blotting (DNA analysis), or in situ hybridization, using an appropriately labeled probe, based on the sequences provided herein. Alternatively, antibodies may be employed that can recognize specific duplexes, including DNA duplexes, RNA duplexes, and DNA-RNA hybrid duplexes or DNA-protein duplexes. The antibodies in turn may be labeled and the assay may be carried out where the duplex is bound to a surface, so that upon the formation of duplex on the surface, the presence of antibody bound to the duplex can be detected.  
     [3389] Gene expression, alternatively, may be measured by immunological methods, such as immunohistochemical staining of cells or tissue sections and assay of cell culture or body fluids, to quantitate directly the expression of gene product. Antibodies useful for immunohistochemical staining and/or assay of sample fluids may be either monoclonal or polyclonal, and may be prepared in any mammal. Conveniently, the antibodies may be prepared against a native sequence PRO polypeptide or against a synthetic peptide based on the DNA sequences provided herein or against exogenous sequence fused to PRO DNA and encoding a specific antibody epitope.  
     [3390] 5. Purification of Polypeptide  
     [3391] Forms of PRO may be recovered from culture medium or from host cell lysates. If membrane-bound, it can be released from the membrane using a suitable detergent solution (e.g. Triton-X 100) or by enzymatic cleavage. Cells employed in expression of PRO can be disrupted by various physical or chemical means, such as freeze-thaw cycling, sonication, mechanical disruption, or cell lysing agents.  
     [3392] It may be desired to purify PRO from recombinant cell proteins or polypeptides. The following procedures are exemplary of suitable purification procedures: by fractionation on an ion-exchange column; ethanol precipitation; reverse phase HPLC; chromatography on silica or on a cation-exchange resin such as DEAE; chromatofocusing; SDS-PAGE; ammonium sulfate precipitation; gel filtration using, for example, Sephadex G-75; protein A Sepharose columns to remove contaminants such as IgG; and metal chelating columns to bind epitope-tagged forms of the PRO. Various methods of protein purification may be employed and such methods are known in the art and described for example in Deutscher,  Methods in Enzymology,  182 (1990); Scopes,  Protein Purification: Principles and Practice,  Springer-Verlag, New York (1982). The purification step(s) selected will depend, for example, on the nature of the production process used and the particular PRO produced.  
     [3393] E. Uses for PRO  
     [3394] Nucleotide sequences (or their complement) encoding PRO have various applications in the art of molecular biology, including uses as hybridization probes, in chromosome and gene mapping and in the generation of anti-sense RNA and DNA. PRO nucleic acid will also be useful for the preparation of PRO polypeptides by the recombinant techniques described herein.  
     [3395] The full-length native sequence PRO gene, or portions thereof, may be used as hybridization probes for a cDNA library to isolate the full-length PRO cDNA or to isolate still other cDNAs (for instance, those encoding naturally-occurring variants of PRO or PRO from other species) which have a desired sequence identity to the native PRO sequence disclosed herein. Optionally, the length of the probes will be about 20 to about 50 bases. The hybridization probes may be derived from at least partially novel regions of the full length native nucleotide sequence wherein those regions may be determined without undue experimentation or from genomic sequences including promoters, enhancer elements and introns of native sequence PRO. By way of example, a screening method will comprise isolating the coding region of the PRO gene using the known DNA sequence to synthesize a selected probe of about 40 bases. Hybridization probes may be labeled by a variety of labels, including radionucleotides such as  32 p or  35 S, or enzymatic labels such as alkaline phosphatase coupled to the probe via avidin/biotin coupling systems. Labeled probes having a sequence complementary to that of the PRO gene of the present invention can be used to screen libraries of human cDNA, genomic DNA or mRNA to determine which members of such libraries the probe hybridizes to. Hybridization techniques are described in further detail in the Examples below.  
     [3396] Any EST sequences disclosed in the present application may similarly be employed as probes, using the methods disclosed herein.  
     [3397] Other useful fragments of the PRO nucleic acids include antisense or sense oligonucleotides comprising a singe-stranded nucleic acid sequence (either RNA or DNA) capable of binding to target PRO mRNA (sense) or PRO DNA (antisense) sequences. Antisense or sense oligonucleotides, according to the present invention, comprise a fragment of the coding region of PRO DNA. Such a fragment generally comprises at least about 14 nucleotides, preferably from about 14 to 30 nucleotides. The ability to derive an antisense or a sense oligonucleotide, based upon a cDNA sequence encoding a given protein is described in, for example, Stein and Cohen ( Cancer Res.  48:2659, 1988) and van der Krol et al. ( BioTechniques  6:958, 1988).  
     [3398] Binding of antisense or sense oligonucleotides to target nucleic acid sequences results in the formation of duplexes that block transcription or translation of the target sequence by one of several means, including enhanced degradation of the duplexes, premature termination of transcription or translation, or by other means. The antisense oligonucleotides thus may be used to block expression of PRO proteins. Antisense or sense oligonucleotides further comprise oligonucleotides having modified sugar-phosphodiester backbones (or other sugar linkages, such as those described in WO 91/06629) and wherein such sugar linkages are resistant to endogenous nucleases. Such oligonucleotides with resistant sugar linkages are stable in vivo (i.e., capable of resisting enzymatic degradation) but retain sequence specificity to be able to bind to target nucleotide sequences.  
     [3399] Other examples of sense or antisense oligonucleotides include those oligonucleotides which are covalently linked to organic moieties, such as those described in WO 90/10048, and other moieties that increases affinity of the oligonucleotide for a target nucleic acid sequence, such as poly-(L-lysine). Further still, intercalating agents, such as ellipticine, and alkylating agents or metal complexes may be attached to sense or antisense oligonucleotides to modify binding specificities of the antisense or sense oligonucleotide for the target nucleotide sequence.  
     [3400] Antisense or sense oligonucleotides may be introduced into a cell containing the target nucleic acid sequence by any gene transfer method, including, for example, CaPO 4 -mediated DNA transfection, electroporation, or by using gene transfer vectors such as Epstein-Barr virus. In a preferred procedure, an antisense or sense oligonucleotide is inserted into a suitable retroviral vector. A cell containing the target nucleic acid sequence is contacted with the recombinant retroviral vector, either in vivo or ex vivo. Suitable retroviral vectors include, but are not limited to, those derived from the murine retrovirus M-MuLV, N2 (a retrovirus derived from M-MuLV), or the double copy vectors designated DCT5A, DCT5B and DCT5C (see WO 90/13641).  
     [3401] Sense or antisense oligonucleotides also may be introduced into a cell containing the target nucleotide sequence by formation of a conjugate with a ligand binding molecule, as described in WO 91/04753. Suitable ligand binding molecules include, but are not limited to, cell surface receptors, growth factors, other cytokines, or other ligands that bind to cell surface receptors. Preferably, conjugation of the ligand binding molecule does not substantially interfere with the ability of the ligand binding molecule to bind to its corresponding molecule or receptor, or block entry of the sense or antisense oligonucleotide or its conjugated version into the cell.  
     [3402] Alternatively, a sense or an antisense oligonucleotide may be introduced into a cell containing the target nucleic acid sequence by formation of an oligonucleotide-lipid complex, as described in WO 90/10448. The sense or antisense oligonucleotide-lipid complex is preferably dissociated within the cell by an endogenous lipase.  
     [3403] Antisense or sense RNA or DNA molecules are generally at least about 5 bases in length, about 10 bases in length, about 15 bases in length, about 20 bases in length, about 25 bases in length, about 30 bases in length, about 35 bases in length, about 40 bases in length, about 45 bases in length, about 50 bases in length, about 55 bases in length, about 60 bases in length, about 65 bases in length, about 70 bases in length, about 75 bases in length, about 80 bases in length, about 85 bases in length, about 90 bases in length, about 95 bases in length, about 100 bases in length, or more.  
     [3404] The probes may also be employed in PCR techniques to generate a pool of sequences for identification of closely related PRO coding sequences.  
     [3405] Nucleotide sequences encoding a PRO can also be used to construct hybridization probes for mapping the gene which encodes that PRO and for the genetic analysis of individuals with genetic disorders. The nucleotide sequences provided herein may be mapped to a chromosome and specific regions of a chromosome using known techniques, such as in situ hybridization, linkage analysis against known chromosomal markers, and hybridization screening with libraries.  
     [3406] When the coding sequences for PRO encode a protein which binds to another protein (example, where the PRO is a receptor), the PRO can be used in assays to identify the other proteins or molecules involved in the binding interaction. By such methods, inhibitors of the receptor/ligand binding interaction can be identified. Proteins involved in such binding interactions can also be used to screen for peptide or small molecule inhibitors or agonists of the binding interaction. Also, the receptor PRO can be used to isolate correlative ligand(s). Screening assays can be designed to find lead compounds that mimic the biological activity of a native PRO or a receptor for PRO. Such screening assays will include assays amenable to high-throughput screening of chemical libraries, making them particularly suitable for identifying small molecule drug candidates. Small molecules contemplated include synthetic organic or inorganic compounds. The assays can be performed in a variety of formats, including protein-protein binding assays, biochemical screening assays, immunoassays and cell based assays, which are well characterized in the art.  
     [3407] Nucleic acids which encode PRO or its modified forms can also be used to generate either transgenic animals or “knock out” animals which, in turn, are useful in the development and screening of therapeutically useful reagents. A transgenic animal (e.g., a mouse or rat) is an animal having cells that contain a transgene, which transgene was introduced into the animal or an ancestor of the animal at a prenatal, e.g., an embryonic stage. A transgene is a DNA which is integrated into the genome of a cell from which a transgenic animal develops. In one embodiment, cDNA encoding PRO can be used to clone genomic DNA encoding PRO in accordance with established techniques and the genomic sequences used to generate transgenic animals that contain cells which express DNA encoding PRO. Methods for generating transgenic animals, particularly animals such as mice or rats, have become conventional in the art and are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,736,866 and 4,870,009. Typically, particular cells would be targeted for PRO transgene incorporation with tissue-specific enhancers. Transgenic animals that include a copy of a transgene encoding PRO introduced into the germ line of the animal at an embryonic stage can be used to examine the effect of increased expression of DNA encoding PRO. Such animals can be used as tester animals for reagents thought to confer protection from, for example, pathological conditions associated with its overexpression. In accordance with this facet of the invention, an animal is treated with the reagent and a reduced incidence of the pathological condition, compared to untreated animals bearing the transgene, would indicate a potential therapeutic intervention for the pathological condition.  
     [3408] Alternatively, non-human homologues of PRO can be used to construct a PRO “knock out” animal which has a defective or altered gene encoding PRO as a result of homologous recombination between the endogenous gene encoding PRO and altered genomic DNA encoding PRO introduced into an embryonic stem cell of the animal. For example, cDNA encoding PRO can be used to clone genomic DNA encoding PRO in accordance with established techniques. A portion of the genomic DNA encoding PRO can be deleted or replaced with another gene, such as a gene encoding a selectable marker which can be used to monitor integration. Typically, several kilobases of unaltered flanking DNA (both at the 5′ and 3′ ends) are included in the vector [see e.g., Thomas and Capecchi,  Cell,  51:503 (1987) for a description of homologous recombination vectors]. The vector is introduced into an embryonic stem cell line (e.g., by electroporation) and cells in which the introduced DNA has homologously recombined with the endogenous DNA are selected [see e.g., Li et al.,  Cell,  69:915 (1992)]. The selected cells are then injected into a blastocyst of an animal (e.g., a mouse or rat) to form aggregation chimeras [see e.g., Bradley, in  Teratocarcinomas and Embryonic Stem Cells: A Practical Approach,  E. J. Robertson, ed. (IRL, Oxford, 1987), pp. 113-152]. A chimeric embryo can then be implanted into a suitable pseudopregnant female foster animal and the embryo brought to term to create a “knock out” animal. Progeny harboring the homologously recombined DNA in their germ cells can be identified by standard techniques and used to breed animals in which all cells of the animal contain the homologously recombined DNA. Knockout animals can be characterized for instance, for their ability to defend against certain pathological conditions and for their development of pathological conditions due to absence of the PRO polypeptide.  
     [3409] Nucleic acid encoding the PRO polypeptides may also be used in gene therapy. In gene therapy applications, genes are introduced into cells in order to achieve in vivo synthesis of a therapeutically effective genetic product, for example for replacement of a defective gene. “Gene therapy” includes both conventional gene therapy where a lasting effect is achieved by a single treatment, and the administration of gene therapeutic agents, which involves the one time or repeated administration of a therapeutically effective DNA or mRNA. Antisense RNAs and DNAs can be used as therapeutic agents for blocking the expression of certain genes in vivo. It has already been shown that short antisense oligonucleotides can be imported into cells where they act as inhibitors, despite their low intracellular concentrations caused by their restricted uptake by the cell membrane. (Zamecnik et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA  83:4143-4146 [1986]). The oligonucleotides can be modified to enhance their uptake, e.g. by substituting their negatively charged phosphodiester groups by uncharged groups.  
     [3410] There are a variety of techniques available for introducing nucleic acids into viable cells. The techniques vary depending upon whether the nucleic acid is transferred into cultured cells in vitro, or in vivo in the cells of the intended host. Techniques suitable for the transfer of nucleic acid into mammalian cells in vitro include the use of liposomes, electroporation, microinjection, cell fusion, DEAE-dextran, the calcium phosphate precipitation method, etc. The currently preferred in vivo gene transfer techniques include transfection with viral (typically retroviral) vectors and viral coat protein-liposome mediated transfection (Dzau et al.,  Trends in Biotechnology  11, 205-210 [1993]). In some situations it is desirable to provide the nucleic acid source with an agent that targets the target cells, such as an antibody specific for a cell surface membrane protein or the target cell, a ligand for a receptor on the target cell, etc. Where liposomes are employed, proteins which bind to a cell surface membrane protein associated with endocytosis may be used for targeting and/or to facilitate uptake, e.g. capsid proteins or fragments thereof tropic for a particular cell type, antibodies for proteins which undergo internalization in cycling, proteins that target intracellular localization and enhance intracellular half-life. The technique of receptor-mediated endocytosis is described, for example, by Wu et al.,  J. Biol. Chem.  262, 4429-4432 (1987); and Wagner et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA  87, 3410-3414 (1990). For review of gene marking and gene therapy protocols see Anderson et al.,  Science  256, 808-813 (1992).  
     [3411] The PRO polypeptides described herein may also be employed as molecular weight markers for protein electrophoresis purposes and the isolated nucleic acid sequences may be used for recombinantly expressing those markers.  
     [3412] The nucleic acid molecules encoding the PRO polypeptides or fragments thereof described herein are useful for chromosome identification. In this regard, there exists an ongoing need to identify new chromosome markers, since relatively few chromosome marking reagents, based upon actual sequence data are presently available. Each PRO nucleic acid molecule of the present invention can be used as a chromosome marker.  
     [3413] The PRO polypeptides and nucleic acid molecules of the present invention may also be used for tissue typing, wherein the PRO polypeptides of the present invention may be differentially expressed in one tissue as compared to another. PRO nucleic acid molecules will find use for generating probes for PCR, Northern analysis, Southern analysis and Western analysis.  
     [3414] The PRO polypeptides described herein may also be employed as therapeutic agents. The PRO polypeptides of the present invention can be formulated according to known methods to prepare pharmaceutically useful compositions, whereby the PRO product hereof is combined in admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier vehicle. Therapeutic formulations are prepared for storage by mixing the active ingredient having the desired degree of purity with optional physiologically acceptable carriers, excipients or stabilizers ( Remington&#39;s Pharmaceutical Sciences  16th edition, Osol, A. Ed. (1980)), in the form of lyophilized formulations or aqueous solutions. Acceptable carriers, excipients or stabilizers are nontoxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed, and include buffers such as phosphate, citrate and other organic acids; antioxidants including ascorbic acid; low molecular weight (less than about 10 residues) polypeptides; proteins, such as serum albumin, gelatin or immunoglobulins; hydrophilic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, amino acids such as glycine, glutamine, asparagine, arginine or lysine; monosaccharides, disaccharides and other carbohydrates including glucose, mannose, or dextrins; chelating agents such as EDTA; sugar alcohols such as mannitol or sorbitol; salt-forming counterions such as sodium; and/or nonionic surfactants such as TWEEN™, PLURONICS™ or PEG.  
     [3415] The formulations to be used for in vivo administration must be sterile. This is readily accomplished by filtration through sterile filtration membranes, prior to or following lyophilization and reconstitution.  
     [3416] Therapeutic compositions herein generally are placed into a container having a sterile access port, for example, an intravenous solution bag or vial having a stopper pierceable by a hypodermic injection needle.  
     [3417] The route of administration is in accord with known methods, e.g. injection or infusion by intravenous, intraperitoneal, intracerebral, intramuscular, intraocular, intraarterial or intralesional routes, topical administration, or by sustained release systems.  
     [3418] Dosages and desired drug concentrations of pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may vary depending on the particular use envisioned. The determination of the appropriate dosage or route of administration is well within the skill of an ordinary physician. Animal experiments provide reliable guidance for the determination of effective doses for human therapy. Interspecies scaling of effective doses can be performed following the principles laid down by Mordenti, J. and Chappell, W. “The use of interspecies scaling in toxicokinetics” In Toxicokinetics and New Drug Development, Yacobi et al., Eds., Pergamon Press, New York 1989, pp. 42-96.  
     [3419] When in vivo administration of a PRO polypeptide or agonist or antagonist thereof is employed, normal dosage amounts may vary from about 10 ng/kg to up to 100 mg/kg of mammal body weight or more per day, preferably about 1 μg/kg/day to 10 mg/kg/day, depending upon the route of administration. Guidance as to particular dosages and methods of delivery is provided in the literature; see, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,657,760; 5,206,344; or 5,225,212. It is anticipated that different formulations will be effective for different treatment compounds and different disorders, that administration targeting one organ or tissue, for example, may necessitate delivery in a manner different from that to another organ or tissue.  
     [3420] Where sustained-release administration of a PRO polypeptide is desired in a formulation with release characteristics suitable for the treatment of any disease or disorder requiring administration of the PRO polypeptide, microencapsulation of the PRO polypeptide is contemplated. Microencapsulation of recombinant proteins for sustained release has been successfully performed with human growth hormone (rhGH), interferon-(rhIFN-), interleukin-2, and MN rgp120. Johnson et al.,  Nat. Med.,  2:795-799 (1996); Yasuda,  Biomed. Ther.,  27:1221-1223 ( 1993);  Hora et al.,  Bio/Technology.  8:755-758 (1990); Cleland, “Design and Production of Single Immunization Vaccines Using Polylactide Polyglycolide Microsphere Systems,” in  Vaccine Design: The Subunit and Adjuvant Approach,  Powell and Newman, eds, (Plenum Press: New York, 1995), pp. 439-462; WO 97/03692, WO 96/40072, WO 96/07399; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,654,010.  
     [3421] The sustained-release formulations of these proteins were developed using poly-lactic-coglycolic acid (PLGA) polymer due to its biocompatibility and wide range of biodegradable properties. The degradation products of PLGA, lactic and glycolic acids, can be cleared quickly within the human body. Moreover, the degradability of this polymer can be adjusted from months to years depending on its molecular weight and composition. Lewis, “Controlled release of bioactive agents from lactide/glycolide polymer,” in: M. Chasin and R. Langer (Eds.),  Biodegradable Polymers as Drug Delivery Systems  (Marcel Dekker: New York, 1990), pp. 1-41.  
     [3422] This invention encompasses methods of screening compounds to identify those that mimic the PRO polypeptide (agonists) or prevent the effect of the PRO polypeptide (antagonists). Screening assays for antagonist drug candidates are designed to identify compounds that bind or complex with the PRO polypeptides encoded by the genes identified herein, or otherwise interfere with the interaction of the encoded polypeptides with other cellular proteins. Such screening assays will include assays amenable to high-throughput screening of chemical libraries, making them particularly suitable for identifying small molecule drug candidates.  
     [3423] The assays can be performed in a variety of formats, including protein-protein binding assays, biochemical screening assays, immunoassays, and cell-based assays, which are well characterized in the art.  
     [3424] All assays for antagonists are common in that they call for contacting the drug candidate with a PRO polypeptide encoded by a nucleic acid identified herein under conditions and for a time sufficient to allow these two components to interact.  
     [3425] In binding assays, the interaction is binding and the complex formed can be isolated or detected in the reaction mixture. In a particular embodiment, the PRO polypeptide encoded by the gene identified herein or the drug candidate is immobilized on a solid phase, e.g., on a microtiter plate, by covalent or non-covalent attachments. Non-covalent attachment generally is accomplished by coating the solid surface with a solution of the PRO polypeptide and drying. Alternatively, an immobilized antibody, e.g., a monoclonal antibody, specific for the PRO polypeptide to be immobilized can be used to anchor it to a solid surface. The assay is performed by adding the non-immobilized component, which may be labeled by a detectable label, to the immobilized component, e.g., the coated surface containing the anchored component. When the reaction is complete, the non-reacted components are removed, e.g., by washing, and complexes anchored on the solid surface are detected. When the originally non-immobilized component carries a detectable label, the detection of label immobilized on the surface indicates that complexing occurred. Where the originally non-immobilized component does not carry a label, complexing can be detected, for example, by using a labeled antibody specifically binding the immobilized complex.  
     [3426] If the candidate compound interacts with but does not bind to a particular PRO polypeptide encoded by a gene identified herein, its interaction with that polypeptide can be assayed by methods well known for detecting protein-protein interactions. Such assays include traditional approaches, such as, e.g., cross-linking, co-immunoprecipitation, and co-purification through gradients or chromatographic columns. In addition, protein-protein interactions can be monitored by using a yeast-based genetic system described by Fields and co-workers (Fields and Song,  Nature  ( London ), 340:245-246 (1989); Chien et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA,  88:9578-9582 (1991)) as disclosed by Chevray and Nathans,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA,  89: 5789-5793 (1991). Many transcriptional activators, such as yeast GAL4, consist of two physically discrete modular domains, one acting as the DNA-binding domain, the other one functioning as the transcription-activation domain. The yeast expression system described in the foregoing publications (generally referred to as the “two-hybrid system”) takes advantage of this property, and employs two hybrid proteins, one in which the target protein is fused to the DNA-binding domain of GAL4, and another, in which candidate activating proteins are fused to the activation domain. The expression of a GAL1-lacZ reporter gene under control of a GAL4-activated promoter depends on reconstitution of GAL4 activity via protein-protein interaction. Colonies containing interacting polypeptides are detected with a chromogenic substrate for β-galactosidase. A complete kit (MATCHMAKER™) for identifying protein-protein interactions between two specific proteins using the two-hybrid technique is commercially available from Clontech. This system can also be extended to map protein domains involved in specific protein interactions as well as to pinpoint amino acid residues that are crucial for these interactions.  
     [3427] Compounds that interfere with the interaction of a gene encoding a PRO polypeptide identified herein and other intra- or extracellular components can be tested as follows: usually a reaction mixture is prepared containing the product of the gene and the intra- or extracellular component under conditions and for a time allowing for the interaction and binding of the two products. To test the ability of a candidate compound to inhibit binding, the reaction is run in the absence and in the presence of the test compound. In addition, a placebo may be added to a third reaction mixture, to serve as positive control. The binding (complex formation) between the test compound and the intra- or extracellular component present in the mixture is monitored as described hereinabove. The formation of a complex in the control reaction(s) but not in the reaction mixture containing the test compound indicates that the test compound interferes with the interaction of the test compound and its reaction partner.  
     [3428] To assay for antagonists, the PRO polypeptide may be added to a cell along with the compound to be screened for a particular activity and the ability of the compound to inhibit the activity of interest in the presence of the PRO polypeptide indicates that the compound is an antagonist to the PRO polypeptide. Alternatively, antagonists may be detected by combining the PRO polypeptide and a potential antagonist with membrane-bound PRO polypeptide receptors or recombinant receptors under appropriate conditions for a competitive inhibition assay. The PRO polypeptide can be labeled, such as by radioactivity, such that the number of PRO polypeptide molecules bound to the receptor can be used to determine the effectiveness of the potential antagonist. The gene encoding the receptor can be identified by numerous methods known to those of skill in the art, for example, ligand panning and FACS sorting. Coligan et al.,  Current Protocols in Immun.,  1(2): Chapter 5 (1991). Preferably, expression cloning is employed wherein polyadenylated RNA is prepared from a cell responsive to the PRO polypeptide and a cDNA library created from this RNA is divided into pools and used to transfect COS cells or other cells that are not responsive to the PRO polypeptide. Transfected cells that are grown on glass slides are exposed to labeled PRO polypeptide. The PRO polypeptide can be labeled by a variety of means including iodination or inclusion of a recognition site for a site-specific protein kinase. Following fixation and incubation, the slides are subjected to autoradiographic analysis. Positive pools are identified and sub-pools are prepared and re-transfected using an interactive sub-pooling and re-screening process, eventually yielding a single clone that encodes the putative receptor.  
     [3429] As an alternative approach for receptor identification, labeled PRO polypeptide can be photoaffinity-linked with cell membrane or extract preparations that express the receptor molecule. Cross-linked material is resolved by PAGE and exposed to X-ray film. The labeled complex containing the receptor can be excised, resolved into peptide fragments, and subjected to protein micro-sequencing. The amino acid sequence obtained from micro-sequencing would be used to design a set of degenerate oligonucleotide probes to screen a cDNA library to identify the gene encoding the putative receptor.  
     [3430] In another assay for antagonists, mammalian cells or a membrane preparation expressing the receptor would be incubated with labeled PRO polypeptide in the presence of the candidate compound. The ability of the compound to enhance or block this interaction could then be measured.  
     [3431] More specific examples of potential antagonists include an oligonucleotide that binds to the fusions of immunoglobulin with PRO polypeptide, and, in particular, antibodies including, without limitation, poly- and monoclonal antibodies and antibody fragments, single-chain antibodies, anti-idiotypic antibodies, and chimeric or humanized versions of such antibodies or fragments, as well as human antibodies and antibody fragments. Alternatively, a potential antagonist may be a closely related protein, for example, a mutated form of the PRO polypeptide that recognizes the receptor but imparts no effect, thereby competitively inhibiting the action of the PRO polypeptide.  
     [3432] Another potential PRO polypeptide antagonist is an antisense RNA or DNA construct prepared using antisense technology, where, e.g., an antisense RNA or DNA molecule acts to block directly the translation of mRNA by hybridizing to targeted mRNA and preventing protein translation. Antisense technology can be used to control gene expression through triple-helix formation or antisense DNA or RNA, both of which methods are based on binding of a polynucleotide to DNA or RNA. For example, the 5′ coding portion of the polynucleotide sequence, which encodes the mature PRO polypeptides herein, is used to design an antisense RNA oligonucleotide of from about 10 to 40 base pairs in length. A DNA oligonucleotide is designed to be complementary to a region of the gene involved in transcription (triple helix—see Lee et al.,  Nucl. Acids Res.,  6:3073 (1979); Cooney et al.,  Science,  241: 456 (1988); Dervan et al.,  Science,  251:1360 (1991)), thereby preventing transcription and the production of the PRO polypeptide. The antisense RNA oligonucleotide hybridizes to the mRNA in vivo and blocks translation of the mRNA molecule into the PRO polypeptide (antisense—Okano,  Neurochem.,  56:560 (1991);  Oligodeoxynucleotides as Antisense Inhibitors of Gene Expression  (CRC Press: Boca Raton, Fla., 1988). The oligonucleotides described above can also be delivered to cells such that the antisense RNA or DNA may be expressed in vivo to inhibit production of the PRO polypeptide. When antisense DNA is used, oligodeoxyribonucleotides derived from the translation-initiation site, e.g., between about −10 and +10 positions of the target gene nucleotide sequence, are preferred.  
     [3433] Potential antagonists include small molecules that bind to the active site, the receptor binding site, or growth factor or other relevant binding site of the PRO polypeptide, thereby blocking the normal biological activity of the PRO polypeptide. Examples of small molecules include, but are not limited to, small peptides or peptide-like molecules, preferably soluble peptides, and synthetic non-peptidyl organic or inorganic compounds.  
     [3434] Ribozymes are enzymatic RNA molecules capable of catalyzing the specific cleavage of RNA. Ribozymes act by sequence-specific hybridization to the complementary target RNA, followed by endonucleolytic cleavage. Specific ribozyme cleavage sites within a potential RNA target can be identified by known techniques. For further details see, e.g., Rossi,  Current Biology,  4:469-471 (1994), and PCT publication No. WO 97/33551 (published Sep. 18, 1997).  
     [3435] Nucleic acid molecules in triple-helix formation used to inhibit transcription should be single-stranded and composed of deoxynucleotides. The base composition of these oligonucleotides is designed such that it promotes triple-helix formation via Hoogsteen base-pairing rules, which generally require sizeable stretches of purines or pyrimidines on one strand of a duplex. For further details see, e.g., PCT publication No. WO 97/33551, supra.  
     [3436] These small molecules can be identified by any one or more of the screening assays discussed hereinabove and/or by any other screening techniques well known for those skilled in the art.  
     [3437] Uses of the herein disclosed molecules may also be based upon the positive functional assay hits disclosed and described below.  
     [3438] F. Anti-PRO Antibodies  
     [3439] The present invention further provides anti-PRO antibodies. Exemplary antibodies include polyclonal, monoclonal, humanized, bispecific, and heteroconjugate antibodies.  
     [3440] 1. Polyclonal Antibodies  
     [3441] The anti-PRO antibodies may comprise polyclonal antibodies. Methods of preparing polyclonal antibodies are known to the skilled artisan. Polyclonal antibodies can be raised in a mammal, for example, by one or more injections of an immunizing agent and, if desired, an adjuvant. Typically, the immunizing agent and/or adjuvant will be injected in the mammal by multiple subcutaneous or intraperitoneal injections. The immunizing agent may include the PRO polypeptide or a fusion protein thereof. It may be useful to conjugate the immunizing agent to a protein known to be immunogenic in the mammal being immunized. Examples of such immunogenic proteins include but are not limited to keyhole limpet hemocyanin, serum albumin, bovine thyroglobulin, and soybean trypsin inhibitor. Examples of adjuvants which may be employed include Freund&#39;s complete adjuvant and MPL-TDM adjuvant (monophosphoryl Lipid A, synthetic trehalose dicorynomycolate). The immunization protocol may be selected by one skilled in the art without undue experimentation.  
     [3442] 2. Monoclonal Antibodies  
     [3443] The anti-PRO antibodies may, alternatively, be monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies may be prepared using hybridoma methods, such as those described by Kohler and Milstein,  Nature,  256:495 (1975). In a hybridoma method, a mouse, hamster, or other appropriate host animal, is typically immunized with an immunizing agent to elicit lymphocytes that produce or are capable of producing antibodies that will specifically bind to the immunizing agent. Alternatively, the lymphocytes may be immunized in vitro.  
     [3444] The immunizing agent will typically include the PRO polypeptide or a fusion protein thereof. Generally, either peripheral blood lymphocytes (“PBLs”) are used if cells of human origin are desired, or spleen cells or lymph node cells are used if non-human mammalian sources are desired. The lymphocytes are then fused with an immortalized cell line using a suitable fusing agent, such as polyethylene glycol, to form a hybridoma cell [Goding,  Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Practice,  Academic Press, (1986) pp. 59-103]. Immortalized cell lines are usually transformed mammalian cells, particularly myeloma cells of rodent, bovine and human origin. Usually, rat or mouse myeloma cell lines are employed. The hybridoma cells may be cultured in a suitable culture medium that preferably contains one or more substances that inhibit the growth or survival of the unfused, immortalized cells. For example, if the parental cells lack the enzyme hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT or HPRT), the culture medium for the hybridomas typically will include hypoxanthine, aminopterin, and thymidine (“HAT medium”), which substances prevent the growth of HGPRT-deficient cells.  
     [3445] Preferred immortalized cell lines are those that fuse efficiently, support stable high level expression of antibody by the selected antibody-producing cells, and are sensitive to a medium such as HAT medium. More preferred immortalized cell lines are murine myeloma lines, which can be obtained, for instance, from the Salk Institute Cell Distribution Center, San Diego, Calif. and the American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, Va. Human myeloma and mouse-human heteromyeloma cell lines also have been described for the production of human monoclonal antibodies [Kozbor,  J. Immunol.,  133:3001 (1984); Brodeur et al.,  Monoclonal Antibody Production Techniques and Applications,  Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, (1987) pp. 51-63].  
     [3446] The culture medium in which the hybridoma cells are cultured can then be assayed for the presence of monoclonal antibodies directed against PRO. Preferably, the binding specificity of monoclonal antibodies produced by the hybridoma cells is determined by immunoprecipitation or by an in vitro binding assay, such as radioimmunoassay (RIA) or enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA). Such techniques and assays are known in the art. The binding affinity of the monoclonal antibody can, for example, be determined by the Scatchard analysis of Munson and Pollard,  Anal. Biochem.,  107:220 (1980).  
     [3447] After the desired hybridoma cells are identified, the clones may be subdloned by limiting dilution procedures and grown by standard methods [Goding, supra]. Suitable culture media for this purpose include, for example, Dulbecco&#39;s Modified Eagle&#39;s Medium and RPMI-1640 medium. Alternatively, the hybridoma cells may be grown in vivo as ascites in a mammal.  
     [3448] The monoclonal antibodies secreted by the subcloned may be isolated or purified from the culture medium or ascites fluid by conventional immunoglobulin purification procedures such as, for example, protein A-Sepharose, hydroxylapatite chromatography, gel electrophoresis, dialysis, or affinity chromatography.  
     [3449] The monoclonal antibodies may also be made by recombinant DNA methods, such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567. DNA encoding the monoclonal antibodies of the invention can be readily isolated and sequenced using conventional procedures (e.g., by using oligonucleotide probes that are capable of binding specifically to genes encoding the heavy and light chains of murine antibodies). The hybridoma cells of the invention serve as a preferred source of such DNA. Once isolated, the DNA may be placed into expression vectors, which are then transfected into host cells such as simian COS cells, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, or myeloma cells that do not otherwise produce immunoglobulin protein, to obtain the synthesis of monoclonal antibodies in the recombinant host cells. The DNA also may be modified, for example, by substituting the coding sequence for human heavy and light chain constant domains in place of the homologous murine sequences [U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567; Morrison et al., supra] or by covalently joining to the immunoglobulin coding sequence all or part of the coding sequence for a non-immunoglobulin polypeptide. Such a non-immunoglobulin polypeptide can be substituted for the constant domains of an antibody of the invention, or can be substituted for the variable domains of one antigen-combining site of an antibody of the invention to create a chimeric bivalent antibody.  
     [3450] The antibodies may be monovalent antibodies. Methods for preparing monovalent antibodies are well known in the art. For example, one method involves recombinant expression of immunoglobulin light chain and modified heavy chain. The heavy chain is truncated generally at any point in the Fc region so as to prevent heavy chain crosslinking. Alternatively, the relevant cysteine residues are substituted with another amino acid residue or are deleted so as to prevent crosslinking.  
     [3451] In vitro methods are also suitable for preparing monovalent antibodies. Digestion of antibodies to produce fragments thereof, particularly, Fab fragments, can be accomplished using routine techniques known in the art.  
     [3452] 3. Human and Humanized Antibodies  
     [3453] The anti-PRO antibodies of the invention may further comprise humanized antibodies or human antibodies. Humanized forms of non-human (e.g., murine) antibodies are chimeric immunoglobulins, immunoglobulin chains or fragments thereof (such as Fv, Fab, Fab′, F(ab′) 2  or other antigen-binding subsequences of antibodies) which contain minimal sequence derived from non-human immunoglobulin. Humanized antibodies include human immunoglobulins (recipient antibody) in which residues from a complementary determining region (CDR) of the recipient are replaced by residues from a CDR of a non-human species (donor antibody) such as mouse, rat or rabbit having the desired specificity, affinity and capacity. In some instances, Fv framework residues of the human immunoglobulin are replaced by corresponding non-human residues. Humanized antibodies may also comprise residues which are found neither in the recipient antibody nor in the imported CDR or framework sequences. In general, the humanized antibody will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the CDR regions correspond to those of a non-human immunoglobulin and all or substantially all of the FR regions are those of a human immunoglobulin consensus sequence. The humanized antibody optimally also will comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), typically that of a human immunoglobulin [Jones et al.,  Nature,  321:522-525 (1986); Riechmann et al.,  Nature,  332:323-329 (1988); and Presta,  Curr. Op. Struct. Biol.,  2:593-596 (1992)].  
     [3454] Methods for humanizing non-human antibodies are well known in the art. Generally, a humanized antibody has one or more amino acid residues introduced into it from a source which is non-human. These non-human amino acid residues are often referred to as “import” residues, which are typically taken from an “import” variable domain. Humanization can be essentially performed following the method of Winter and co-workers [Jones et al.,  Nature,  321:522-525 (1986); Riechmann et al.,  Nature,  332:323-327 (1988); Verhoeyen et al.,  Science,  239:1534-1536 (1988)], by substituting rodent CDRs or CDR sequences for the corresponding sequences of a human antibody. Accordingly, such “humanized” antibodies are chimeric antibodies (U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567), wherein substantially less than an intact human variable domain has been substituted by the corresponding sequence from a non-human species. In practice, humanized antibodies are typically human antibodies in which some CDR residues and possibly some FR residues are substituted by residues from analogous sites in rodent antibodies.  
     [3455] Human antibodies can also be produced using various techniques known in the art, including phage display libraries [Hoogenboom and Winter,  J. Mol. Biol.,  227:381 (1991); Marks et al.,  J. Mol. Biol.,  222:581 (1991)]. The techniques of Cole et al. and Boerner et al. are also available for the preparation of human monoclonal antibodies (Cole et al.,  Monoclonal Antibodies and Cancer Therapy,  Alan R. Liss, p. 77 (1985) and Boerner et al.,  J. Immunol.,  147(1):86-95 (1991)]. Similarly, human antibodies can be made by introducing of human immunoglobulin loci into transgenic animals, e.g., mice in which the endogenous immunoglobulin genes have been partially or completely inactivated. Upon challenge, human antibody production is observed, which closely resembles that seen in humans in all respects, including gene rearrangement, assembly, and antibody repertoire. This approach is described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,545,807; 5,545,806; 5,569,825; 5,625,126; 5,633,425; 5,661,016, and in the following scientific publications: Marks et al.,  Bio/Technology  10, 779-783 (1992); Lonberg et al.,  Nature  368 856-859 (1994); Morrison,  Nature  368, 812-13 (1994); Fishwild et al.,  Nature Biotechnology  14, 845-51 (1996); Neuberger,  Nature Biotechnology  14, 826 (1996); Lonberg and Huszar,  Intern. Rev. Immunol.  13 65-93 (1995).  
     [3456] 4. Bispecific Antibodies  
     [3457] Bispecific antibodies are monoclonal, preferably human or humanized, antibodies that have binding specificities for at least two different antigens. In the present case, one of the binding specificities is for the PRO, the other one is for any other antigen, and preferably for a cell-surface protein or receptor or receptor subunit.  
     [3458] Methods for making bispecific antibodies are known in the art. Traditionally, the recombinant production of bispecific antibodies is based on the co-expression of two immunoglobulin heavy-chain/light-chain pairs, where the two heavy chains have different specificities [Milstein and Cuello,  Nature,  305:537-539 (1983)]. Because of the random assortment of immunoglobulin heavy and light chains, these hybridomas (quadromas) produce a potential mixture of ten different antibody molecules, of which only one has the correct bispecific structure. The purification of the correct molecule is usually accomplished by affinity chromatography steps. Similar procedures are disclosed in WO 93/08829, published May 13, 1993, and in Traunecker et al.,  EMBO J.,  10:3655-3659 (1991).  
     [3459] Antibody variable domains with the desired binding specificities (antibody-antigen combining sites) can be fused to immunoglobulin constant domain sequences. The fusion preferably is with an immunoglobulin heavy-chain constant domain, comprising at least part of the hinge, CH2, and CH3 regions. It is preferred to have the first heavy-chain constant region (CH1) containing the site necessary for light-chain binding present in at least one of the fusions. DNAs encoding the immunoglobulin heavy-chain fusions and, if desired, the immunoglobulin light chain, are inserted into separate expression vectors, and are co-transfected into a suitable host organism. For further details of generating bispecific antibodies see, for example, Suresh et al.,  Methods in Enzymology,  121:210 (1986).  
     [3460] According to another approach described in WO 96/27011, the interface between a pair of antibody molecules can be engineered to maximize the percentage of heterodimers which are recovered from recombinant cell culture. The preferred interface comprises at least a part of the CH3 region of an antibody constant domain. In this method, one or more small amino acid side chains from the interface of the first antibody molecule are replaced with larger side chains (e.g. tyrosine or tryptophan). Compensatory “cavities” of identical or similar size to the large side chain(s) are created on the interface of the second antibody molecule by replacing large amino acid side chains with smaller ones (e.g. alanine or threonine). This provides a mechanism for increasing the yield of the heterodimer over other unwanted end-products such as homodimers.  
     [3461] Bispecific antibodies can be prepared as full length antibodies or antibody fragments (e.g. F(ab′) 2  bispecific antibodies). Techniques for generating bispecific antibodies from antibody fragments have been described in the literature. For example, bispecific antibodies can be prepared can be prepared using chemical linkage. Brennan et al.,  Science  229:81 (1985) describe a procedure wherein intact antibodies are proteolytically cleaved to generate F(ab′) 2  fragments. These fragments are reduced in the presence of the dithiol complexing agent sodium arsenite to stabilize vicinal dithiols and prevent intermolecular disulfide formation. The Fab′ fragments generated are then converted to thionitrobenzoate (TNB) derivatives. One of the Fab′-TNB derivatives is then reconverted to the Fab′-thiol by reduction with mercaptoethylamine and is mixed with an equimolar amount of the other Fab′-TNB derivative to form the bispecific antibody. The bispecific antibodies produced can be used as agents for the selective immobilization of enzymes.  
     [3462] Fab′ fragments may be directly recovered from  E. coli  and chemically coupled to form bispecific antibodies. Shalaby et al.,  J. Exp. Med.  175:217-225 (1992) describe the production of a fully humanized bispecific antibody F(ab′) 2  molecule. Each Fab′ fragment was separately secreted from  E. coli  and subjected to directed chemical coupling in vitro to form the bispecific antibody. The bispecific antibody thus formed was able to bind to cells overexpressing the ErbB2 receptor and normal human T cells, as well as trigger the lytic activity of human cytotoxic lymphocytes against human breast tumor targets.  
     [3463] Various technique for making and isolating bispecific antibody fragments directly from recombinant cell culture have also been described. For example, bispecific antibodies have been produced using leucine zippers. Kostelny et al.,  J. Immunol.  148(5): 1547-1553 (1992). The leucine zipper peptides from the Fos and Jun proteins were linked to the Fab′ portions of two different antibodies by gene fusion. The antibody homodimers were reduced at the hinge region to form monomers and then re-oxidized to form the antibody heterodimers. This method can also be utilized for the production of antibody homodimers. The “diabody” technology described by Hollinger et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA  90:6444-6448 (1993) has provided an alternative mechanism for making bispecific antibody fragments. The fragments comprise a heavy-chain variable domain (V H ) connected to a light-chain variable domain (V L ) by a linker which is too short to allow pairing between the two domains on the same chain. Accordingly, the V H  and V L  domains of one fragment are forced to pair with the complementary V L  and V H  domains of another fragment, thereby forming two antigen-binding sites. Another strategy for making bispecific antibody fragments by the use of single-chain Fv (sFv) dimers has also been reported. See, Gruber et al.,  J. Immunol.  152:5368 (1994). Antibodies with more than two valencies are contemplated. For example, trispecific antibodies can be prepared. Tutt et al.,  J. Immunol.  147:60 (1991).  
     [3464] Exemplary bispecific antibodies may bind to two different epitopes on a given PRO polypeptide herein. Alternatively, an anti-PRO polypeptide arm may be combined with an arm which binds to a triggering molecule on a leukocyte such as a T-cell receptor molecule (e.g. CD2, CD3, CD28, or B7), or Fc receptors for IgG (FcγR), such as FcγRI (CD64), FcγRII (CD32) and FcγRIII (CD16) so as to focus cellular defense mechanisms to the cell expressing the particular PRO polypeptide. Bispecific antibodies may also be used to localize cytotoxic agents to cells which express a particular PRO polypeptide. These antibodies possess a PRO-binding arm and an arm which binds a cytotoxic agent or a radionuclide chelator, such as EOTUBE, DPTA, DOTA, or TETA. Another bispecific antibody of interest binds the PRO polypeptide and further binds tissue factor (TF).  
     [3465] 5. Heteroconjugate Antibodies  
     [3466] Heteroconjugate antibodies are also within the scope of the present invention. Heteroconjugate antibodies are composed of two covalently joined antibodies. Such antibodies have, for example, been proposed to target immune system cells to unwanted cells [U.S. Pat. No. 4,676,980], and for treatment of HIV infection [WO 91/00360; WO 92/200373; EP 03089]. It is contemplated that the antibodies may be prepared in vitro using known methods in synthetic protein chemistry, including those involving crosslinking agents. For example, immunotoxins may be constructed using a disulfide exchange reaction or by forming a thioether bond. Examples of suitable reagents for this purpose include iminothiolate and methyl-4-mercaptobutyrimidate and those disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,676,980.  
     [3467] 6. Effector Function Engineering  
     [3468] It may be desirable to modify the antibody of the invention with respect to effector function, so as to enhance, e.g., the effectiveness of the antibody in treating cancer. For example, cysteine residue(s) may be introduced into the Fc region, thereby allowing interchain disulfide bond formation in this region. The homodimeric antibody thus generated may have improved internalization capability and/or increased complement-mediated cell killing and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). See Caron et al.,  J. Exp Med.,  176: 1191-1195 (1992) and Shopes,  J. Immunol.,  148: 2918-2922 (1992). Homodimeric antibodies with enhanced anti-tumor activity may also be prepared using heterobifunctional cross-linkers as described in Wolff et al.  Cancer Research,  53: 2560-2565 (1993). Alternatively, an antibody can be engineered that has dual Fc regions and may thereby have enhanced complement lysis and ADCC capabilities. See Stevenson et al.,  Anti - Cancer Drug Design.  3: 219-230 (1989).  
     [3469] 7. Immunoconijugates  
     [3470] The invention also pertains to immunoconjugates comprising an antibody conjugated to a cytotoxic agent such as a chemotherapeutic agent, toxin (e.g., an enzymatically active toxin of bacterial, fungal, plant, or animal origin, or fragments thereof), or a radioactive isotope (i.e., a radioconjugate).  
     [3471] Chemotherapeutic agents useful in the generation of such immunoconjugates have been described above. Enzymatically active toxins and fragments thereof that can be used include diphtheria A chain, nonbinding active fragments of diphtheria toxin, exotoxin A chain (from  Pseudomonas aeruginosa ), ricin A chain, abrin A chain, modeccin A chain, alpha-sarcin,  Aleurites fordii  proteins, dianthin proteins,  Phytolaca americana  proteins (PAPI, PAPII, and PAP-S), momordica charantia inhibitor, curcin, crotin, sapaonaria officinalis inhibitor, gelonin, mitogellin, restrictocin, phenomycin, enomycin, and the tricothecenes. A variety of radionuclides are available for the production of radioconjugated antibodies. Examples include  212 Bi,  131 I,  131 In,  90 Y, and  186 Re. Conjugates of the antibody and cytotoxic agent are made using a variety of bifunctional protein-coupling agents such as N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithiol) propionate (SPDP), iminothiolane (IT), bifunctional derivatives of imidoesters (such as dimethyl adipimidate HCL), active esters (such as disuccinimidyl suberate), aldehydes (such as glutareldehyde), bis-azido compounds (such as bis (p-azidobenzoyl) hexanediamine), bis-diazonium derivatives (such as bis-(p-diazoniumbenzoyl)-ethylenediamine), diisocyanates (such as tolyene 2,6-diisocyanate), and bis-active fluorine compounds (such as 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene). For example, a ricin immunotoxin can be prepared as described in Vitetta et al.,  Science,  238: 1098 (1987). Carbon-14-labeled 1-isothiocyanatobenzyl-3-methyldiethylene triaminepentaacetic acid (MX-DTPA) is an exemplary chelating agent for conjugation of radionucleotide to the antibody. See WO94/11026.  
     [3472] In another embodiment, the antibody may be conjugated to a “receptor” (such streptavidin) for utilization in tumor pretargeting wherein the antibody-receptor conjugate is administered to the patient, followed by removal of unbound conjugate from the circulation using a clearing agent and then administration of a “ligand” (e.g., avidin) that is conjugated to a cytotoxic agent (e.g., a radionucleotide).  
     [3473] 8. Immunoliposomes  
     [3474] The antibodies disclosed herein may also be formulated as immunoliposomes. Liposomes containing the antibody are prepared by methods known in the art, such as described in Epstein et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA,  82: 3688 (1985); Hwang et al.,  Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA,  77: 4030 (1980); and U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,485,045 and 4,544,545. Liposomes with enhanced circulation time are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,013,556.  
     [3475] Particularly useful liposomes can be generated by the reverse-phase evaporation method with a lipid composition comprising phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, and PEG-derivatized phosphatidylethanolamine (PEG-PE). Liposomes are extruded through filters of defined pore size to yield liposomes with the desired diameter. Fab′ fragments of the antibody of the present invention can be conjugated to the liposomes as described in Martin et al.,  J. Biol. Chem.,  257: 286-288 (1982) via a disulfide-interchange reaction. A chemotherapeutic agent (such as Doxorubicin) is optionally contained within the liposome. See Gabizon et al.,  J. National Cancer Inst.,  81(19): 1484 (1989).  
     [3476] 9. Pharmaceutical Compositions of Antibodies  
     [3477] Antibodies specifically binding a PRO polypeptide identified herein, as well as other molecules identified by the screening assays disclosed hereinbefore, can be administered for the treatment of various disorders in the form of pharmaceutical compositions.  
     [3478] If the PRO polypeptide is intracellular and whole antibodies are used as inhibitors, internalizing antibodies are preferred. However, lipofections or liposomes can also be used to deliver the antibody, or an antibody fragment, into cells. Where antibody fragments are used, the smallest inhibitory fragment that specifically binds to the binding domain of the target protein is preferred. For example, based upon the variable-region sequences of an antibody, peptide molecules can be designed that retain the ability to bind the target protein sequence. Such peptides can be synthesized chemically and/or produced by recombinant DNA technology. See, e.g., Marasco et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA,  90: 7889-7893 (1993). The formulation herein may also contain more than one active compound as necessary for the particular indication being treated, preferably those with complementary activities that do not adversely affect each other. Alternatively, or in addition, the composition may comprise an agent that enhances its function, such as, for example, a cytotoxic agent, cytokine, chemotherapeutic agent, or growth-inhibitory agent. Such molecules are suitably present in combination in amounts that are effective for the purpose intended.  
     [3479] The active ingredients may also be entrapped in microcapsules prepared, for example, by coacervation techniques or by interfacial polymerization, for example, hydroxymethylcellulose or gelatin-microcapsules and poly-(methylmethacylate) microcapsules, respectively, in colloidal drug delivery systems (for example, liposomes, albumin microspheres, microemulsions, nano-particles, and nanocapsules) or in macroemulsions. Such techniques are disclosed in Remington&#39;s  Pharmaceutical Sciences,  supra.  
     [3480] The formulations to be used for in vivo administration must be sterile. This is readily accomplished by filtration through sterile filtration membranes.  
     [3481] Sustained-release preparations may be prepared. Suitable examples of sustained-release preparations include semipermeable matrices of solid hydrophobic polymers containing the antibody, which matrices are in the form of shaped articles, e.g., films, or microcapsules. Examples of sustained-release matrices include polyesters, hydrogels (for example, poly(2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate), or poly(vinylalcohol)), polylactides (U.S. Pat. No. 3,773,919), copolymers of L-glutamic acid and γ ethyl-L-glutamate, non-degradable ethylene-vinyl acetate, degradable lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymers such as the LUPRON DEPOT™ (injectable microspheres composed of lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer and leuprolide acetate), and poly-D-(−)-3-hydroxybutyric acid. While polymers such as ethylene-vinyl acetate and lactic acid-glycolic acid enable release of molecules for over 100 days, certain hydrogels release proteins for shorter time periods. When encapsulated antibodies remain in the body for a long time, they may denature or aggregate as a result of exposure to moisture at 37° C., resulting in a loss of biological activity and possible changes in immunogenicity. Rational strategies can be devised for stabilization depending on the mechanism involved. For example, if the aggregation mechanism is discovered to be intermolecular S—S bond formation through thio-disulfide interchange, stabilization may be achieved by modifying sulfhydryl residues, lyophilizing from acidic solutions, controlling moisture content, using appropriate additives, and developing specific polymer matrix compositions.  
     [3482] G. Uses for anti-PRO Antibodies  
     [3483] The anti-PRO antibodies of the invention have various utilities. For example, anti-PRO antibodies may be used in diagnostic assays for PRO, e.g., detecting its expression in specific cells, tissues, or serum. Various diagnostic assay techniques known in the art may be used, such as competitive binding assays, direct or indirect sandwich assays and immunoprecipitation assays conducted in either heterogeneous or homogeneous phases [Zola,  Monoclonal Antibodies: A Manual of Techniques,  CRC Press, Inc. (1987) pp. 147-158]. The antibodies used in the diagnostic assays can be labeled with a detectable moiety. The detectable moiety should be capable of producing, either directly or indirectly, a detectable signal. For example, the detectable moiety may be a radioisotope, such as  3 H,  14 C,  32 P,  35 S, or  125 I, a fluorescent or chemiluminescent compound, such as fluorescein isothiocyanate, rhodamine, or luciferin, or an enzyme, such as alkaline phosphatase, beta-galactosidase or horseradish peroxidase. Any method known in the art for conjugating the antibody to the detectable moiety may be employed, including those methods described by Hunter et al.,  Nature,  144:945 (1962); David et al.,  Biochemistry,  13:1014 (1974); Pain et al.,  J. Immunol. Meth.,  40:219 (1981); and Nygren,  J. Histochem. and Cytochem.,  30:407 (1982).  
     [3484] Anti-PRO antibodies also are useful for the affinity purification of PRO from recombinant cell culture or natural sources. In this process, the antibodies against PRO are immobilized on a suitable support, such a Sephadex resin or filter paper, using methods well known in the art. The immobilized antibody then is contacted with a sample containing the PRO to be purified, and thereafter the support is washed with a suitable solvent that will remove substantially all the material in the sample except the PRO, which is bound to the immobilized antibody. Finally, the support is washed with another suitable solvent that will release the PRO from the antibody.  
     [3485] The following examples are offered for illustrative purposes only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way.  
     [3486] All patent and literature references cited in the present specification are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.  
     EXAMPLES  
     [3487] Commercially available reagents referred to in the examples were used according to manufacturer&#39;s instructions unless otherwise indicated. The source of those cells identified in the following examples, and throughout the specification, by ATCC accession numbers is the American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, Va.  
     EXAMPLE 1  
     Extracellular Domain Homology Screening to Identify Novel Polypeptides and cDNA Encoding Therefor  
     [3488] The extracellular domain (ECD) sequences (including the secretion signal sequence, if any) from about 950 known secreted proteins from the Swiss-Prot public database were used to search EST databases. The EST databases included public databases (e.g., Dayhoff, GenBank), and proprietary databases (e.g. LIFESEQ™, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.). The search was performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST-2 (Altschul et al.,  Methods in Enzymology  266:460-480 (1996)) as a comparison of the ECD protein sequences to a 6 frame translation of the EST sequences. Those comparisons with a BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater that did not encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into consensus DNA sequences with the program “phrap” (Phil Green, University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.).  
     [3489] Using this extracellular domain homology screen, consensus DNA sequences were assembled relative to the other identified EST sequences using phrap. In addition, the consensus DNA sequences obtained were often (but not always) extended using repeated cycles of BLAST or BLAST-2 and phrap to extend the consensus sequence as far as possible using the sources of EST sequences discussed above.  
     [3490] Based upon the consensus sequences obtained as described above, oligonucleotides were then synthesized and used to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest and for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for a PRO polypeptide. Forward and reverse PCR primers generally range from 20 to 30 nucleotides and are often designed to give a PCR product of about 100-1000 bp in length. The probe sequences are typically 40-55 bp in length. In some cases, additional oligonucleotides are synthesized when the consensus sequence is greater than about 1-1.5 kbp. In order to screen several libraries for a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification, as per Ausubel et al.,  Current Protocols in Molecular Biology,  with the PCR primer pair. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the gene of interest using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the primer pairs.  
     [3491] The cDNA libraries used to isolate the cDNA clones were constructed by standard methods using commercially available reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif. The cDNA was primed with oligo dT containing a NotI site, linked with blunt to SalI hemikinased adaptors, cleaved with NotI, sized appropriately by gel electrophoresis, and cloned in a defined orientation into a suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or pRKD; pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site; see, Holmes et al.,  Science,  253:1278-1280 (1991)) in the unique XhoI and NotI sites.  
     EXAMPLE 2  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones by Amylase Screening  
     [3492] 1. Preparation of Oligo dT Primed cDNA Library  
     [3493] mRNA was isolated from a human tissue of interest using reagents and protocols from Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif. (Fast Track 2). This RNA was used to generate an oligo dT primed cDNA library in the vector pRK5D using reagents and protocols from Life Technologies, Gaithersburg, Md. (Super Script Plasmid System). In this procedure, the double stranded cDNA was sized to greater than 1000 bp and the SalI/NotI Tinkered cDNA was cloned into XhoI/NotI cleaved vector. pRK5D is a cloning vector that has an sp6 transcription initiation site followed by an SfiI restriction enzyme site preceding the XhoI/NotI cDNA cloning sites.  
     [3494] 2. Preparation of Random Primed cDNA Library  
     [3495] A secondary cDNA library was generated in order to preferentially represent the 5′ ends of the primary cDNA clones. Sp6 RNA was generated from the primary library (described above), and this RNA was used to generate a random primed cDNA library in the vector pSST-AMY.0 using reagents and protocols from Life Technologies (Super Script Plasmid System, referenced above). In this procedure the double stranded cDNA was sized to 500-1000 bp, Tinkered with blunt to NotI adaptors, cleaved with SfiI, and cloned into SfiI/NotI cleaved vector. pSST-AMY.0 is a cloning vector that has a yeast alcohol dehydrogenase promoter preceding the cDNA cloning sites and the mouse amylase sequence (the mature sequence without the secretion signal) followed by the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase terminator, after the cloning sites. Thus, cDNAs cloned into this vector that are fused in frame with amylase sequence will lead to the secretion of amylase from appropriately transfected yeast colonies.  
     [3496] 3. Transformation and Detection  
     [3497] DNA from the library described in paragraph 2 above was chilled on ice to which was added electrocompetent DH10B bacteria (Life Technologies, 20 ml). The bacteria and vector mixture was then electroporated as recommended by the manufacturer. Subsequently, SOC media (Life Technologies, 1 ml) was added and the mixture was incubated at 37° C. for 30 minutes. The transformants were then plated onto 20 standard 150 mm LB plates containing ampicillin and incubated for 16 hours (37° C.). Positive colonies were scraped off the plates and the DNA was isolated from the bacterial pellet using standard protocols, e.g. CsCl-gradient. The purified DNA was then carried on to the yeast protocols below.  
     [3498] The yeast methods were divided into three categories: (1) Transformation of yeast with the plasmid/cDNA combined vector; (2) Detection and isolation of yeast clones secreting amylase; and (3) PCR amplification of the insert directly from the yeast colony and purification of the DNA for sequencing and further analysis.  
     [3499] The yeast strain used was HD56-5A (ATCC-90785). This strain has the following genotype: MAT alpha, ura3-52, leu2-3, leu2-112, his3-11, his3-15, MAL + , SUC + , GAL + . Preferably, yeast mutants can be employed that have deficient post-translational pathways. Such mutants may have translocation deficient alleles in sec71, sec72, sec62, with truncated sec71 being most preferred. Alternatively, antagonists (including antisense nucleotides and/or ligands) which interfere with the normal operation of these genes, other proteins implicated in this post translation pathway (e.g., SEC61p, SEC72p, SEC62p, SEC63p, TDJ1p or SSA1p-4p) or the complex formation of these proteins may also be preferably employed in combination with the amylase-expressing yeast.  
     [3500] Transformation was performed based on the protocol outlined by Gietz et al.,  Nucl. Acid. Res.,  20:1425 (1992). Transformed cells were then inoculated from agar into YEPD complex media broth (100 ml) and grown overnight at 30° C. The YEPD broth was prepared as described in Kaiser et al.,  Methods in Yeast Genetics,  Cold Spring Harbor Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., p. 207 (1994). The overnight culture was then diluted to about 2×106 cells/ml (approx. OD 600 =0.1) into fresh YEPD broth (500 ml) and regrown to 1×10 7  cells/ml (approx. OD 600 =0.4-0.5).  
     [3501] The cells were then harvested and prepared for transformation by transfer into GS3 rotor bottles in a Sorval GS3 rotor at 5,000 rpm for 5 minutes, the supernatant discarded, and then resuspended into sterile water, and centrifuged again in 50 ml falcon tubes at 3,500 rpm in a Beckman GS-6KR centrifuge. The supernatant was discarded and the cells were subsequently washed with LiAc/TE (10 ml, 10 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM EDTA pH 7.5, 100 mM Li 2 OOCCH 3 ), and resuspended into LiAc/TE (2.5 ml).  
     [3502] Transformation took place by mixing the prepared cells (100 μl) with freshly denatured single stranded salmon testes DNA (Lofstrand Labs, Gaithersburg, Md.) and transforming DNA (1 μg, vol. &lt;10 μl) in microfuge tubes. The mixture was mixed briefly by vortexing, then 40% PEG/TE (600 μl, 40% polyethylene glycol-4000, 10 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM EDTA, 100 mM Li 2 OOCCH 3 , pH 7.5) was added. This mixture was gently mixed and incubated at 30° C. while agitating for 30 minutes. The cells were then heat shocked at 42° C. for 15 minutes, and the reaction vessel centrifuged in a microfuge at 12,000 rpm for 5-10 seconds, decanted and resuspended into TE (500 μl , 10 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM EDTA pH 7.5) followed by recentrifugation. The cells were then diluted into TE (1 ml) and aliquots (200 μl) were spread onto the selective media previously prepared in 150 mm growth plates (VWR).  
     [3503] Alternatively, instead of multiple small reactions, the transformation was performed using a single, large scale reaction, wherein reagent amounts were scaled up accordingly.  
     [3504] The selective media used was a synthetic complete dextrose agar lacking uracil (SCD-Ura) prepared as described in Kaiser et al.,  Methods in Yeast Genetics,  Cold Spring Harbor Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., p. 208-210 (1994). Transformants were grown at 30° C. for 2-3 days.  
     [3505] The detection of colonies secreting amylase was performed by including red starch in the selective growth media. Starch was coupled to the red dye (Reactive Red-120, Sigma) as per the procedure described by Biely et al.,  Anal. Biochem.,  172:176-179 (1988). The coupled starch was incorporated into the SCD-Ura agar plates at a final concentration of 0.15% (w/v), and was buffered with potassium phosphate to a pH of 7.0 (50-100 mM final concentration).  
     [3506] The positive colonies were picked and streaked across fresh selective media (onto 150 mm plates) in order to obtain well isolated and identifiable single colonies. Well isolated single colonies positive for amylase secretion were detected by direct incorporation of red starch into buffered SCD-Ura agar. Positive colonies were determined by their ability to break down starch resulting in a clear halo around the positive colony visualized directly.  
     [3507] 4. Isolation of DNA by PCR Amplification  
     [3508] When a positive colony was isolated, a portion of it was picked by a toothpick and diluted into sterile water (30 μl) in a 96 well plate. At this time, the positive colonies were either frozen and stored for subsequent analysis or immediately amplified. An aliquot of cells (5 μl) was used as a template for the PCR reaction in a 25 μl volume containing: 0.5 μl Klentaq (Clontech, Palo Alto, Calif.); 4.0 μl 10 mM dNTP&#39;s (Perkin Elmer-Cetus); 2.5 μl Kentaq buffer (Clontech); 0.25 μl forward oligo 1; 0.25 μl reverse oligo 2; 12.5 μl distilled water. The sequence of the forward oligonucleotide 1 was:  
     [3509] 5′-TGTAAAACGACGGCCAGTTAAATAGACCTGCAATTATTAATCT-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 3)  
     [3510] The sequence of reverse oligonucleotide 2 was:  
     [3511] 5′-CAGGAAACAGCTATGACCACCTGCACACCTGCAAATCCATT-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 4)  
     [3512] PCR was then performed as follows:  
                                                                  a.       Denature   92° C.,    5 minutes           b.   3 cycles of:   Denature   92° C.,   30 seconds                   Anneal   59° C.,   30 seconds                   Extend   72° C.,   60 seconds           c.   3 cycles of:   Denature   92° C.,   30 seconds                   Anneal   57° C.,   30 seconds                   Extend   72° C.,   60 seconds           d.   25 cycles of:   Denature   92° C.,   30 seconds                   Anneal   55° C.,   30 seconds                   Extend   72° C.,   60 seconds           e.       Hold    4° C.                      
 
     [3513] The underlined regions of the oligonucleotides annealed to the ADH promoter region and the amylase region, respectively, and amplified a 307 bp region from vector pSST-AMY.0 when no insert was present. Typically, the first 18 nucleotides of the 5′ end of these oligonucleotides contained annealing sites for the sequencing primers. Thus, the total product of the PCR reaction from an empty vector was 343 bp. However, signal sequence-fused cDNA resulted in considerably longer nucleotide sequences.  
     [3514] Following the PCR, an aliquot of the reaction (5 μl) was examined by agarose gel electrophoresis in a 1% agarose gel using a Tris-Borate-EDTA (TBE) buffering system as described by Sambrook et al., supra. Clones resulting in a single strong PCR product larger than 400 bp were further analyzed by DNA sequencing after purification with a 96 Qiaquick PCR clean-up column (Qiagen Inc., Chatsworth, Calif.).  
     EXAMPLE 3  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Using Signal Algorithm Analysis  
     [3515] Various polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid sequences were identified by applying a proprietary signal sequence finding algorithm developed by Genentech, Inc. (South San Francisco, Calif.) upon ESTs as well as clustered and assembled EST fragments from public (e.g., GenBank) and/or private (LIFESEQ®, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Palo Alto, Calif.) databases. The signal sequence algorithm computes a secretion signal score based on the character of the DNA nucleotides surrounding the first and optionally the second methionine codon(s) (ATG) at the 5′-end of the sequence or sequence fragment under consideration. The nucleotides following the first ATG must code for at least 35 unambiguous amino acids without any stop codons. If the first ATG has the required amino acids, the second is not examined. If neither meets the requirement, the candidate sequence is not scored. In order to determine whether the EST sequence contains an authentic signal sequence, the DNA and corresponding amino acid sequences surrounding the ATG codon are scored using a set of seven sensors (evaluation parameters) known to be associated with secretion signals. Use of this algorithm resulted in the identification of numerous polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid sequences.  
     EXAMPLE 4  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO281  
     [3516] In order to obtain a cDNA clone encoding PRO281, methods described in Klein et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA  93:7108-7113 (1996) were employed with the following modifications. Yeast transformation was performed with limiting amounts of transforming DNA in order to reduce the number of multiple transformed yeast cells. Instead of plasmid isolation from the yeast followed by transformation of  E. coli  as described in Klein et al., supra, PCR analysis was performed on single yeast colonies. PCR primers employed were bipartite in order to amplify the insert and a small portion of the invertase gene (allowing to determine that the insert was in frame with invertase) and to add on universal sequencing primer sites.  
     [3517] An invertase library was transformed into yeast and positives were selected on sucrose plates. Positive clones were re-tested and PCR products were sequenced. The sequence of one clone, PRO281, was determined to contain a signal peptide coding sequence. Oligonucleotide primers and probes were designed using the nucleotide sequence of PRO281. A full length plasmid library of cDNAs from human umbilical vein endothelium tissue was titered and approximately 100,000 cfu were plated in 192 pools of 500 cfu/pool into 96-well round bottom plates. The plates were sealed and pools were grown overnight at 37° C. with shaking (200 rpm). PCR was performed on the individual cultures using primers. Agarose gel electrophoresis was performed and positive wells were identified by visualization of a band of the expected size. Individual positive clones were obtained by colony lift followed by hybridization with  32 P-labeled oligonucleotide. These clones were characterized by PCR, restriction digest, and southern blot analyses.  
     [3518] A full length clone was identified that contained a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 80-82, and a stop signal at nucleotide positions 1115-1117 (FIG. 1, SEQ ID NO: 1). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 345 amino acids long, has a calculated molecular weight of approximately 37,205 daltons and an estimated pI of approximately 10.15. Analysis of the full-length PRO281 sequence shown in FIG. 2 (SEQ ID NO: 2) evidences the presence of the following: a signal peptide from about amino acid 1 to about amino acid 14, multiple transmembrane domains from about amino acid position 83 to about amino acid position 105, from about amino acid position 126 to about amino acid position 146, from about amino acid position 158 to about amino acid position 177, from about amino acid position 197 to about amino acid position 216, from about amino acid position 218 to about amino acid position 238, from about amino acid position 245 to about amino acid position 265, and from about amino acid position 271 to about amino acid position 290 and an amino acid sequence block having homology to G-protein coupled receptor proteins from about amino acid 115 to about amino acid 155. Clone UNQ244 (DNA16422-1209) has been deposited with ATCC on Jun. 2, 1998 and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209929.  
     [3519] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35), using a WU-BLAST-2 sequence alignment analysis of the full-length sequence shown in FIG. 2 (SEQ ID NO: 2), evidenced significant homology between the PRO281 amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences: H64634, AF033095 — 1, B64815, YBHL —   ECOLI , EMEQUTR — 1, AF064763 — 3, S53708, A69253, AF035413 — 12 and S63281.  
     EXAMPLE 5  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO276  
     [3520] In order to obtain a cDNA clone encoding PRO276, methods described in Klein et al.,  PNAS,  93:7108-7113 (1996) were employed with the following modifications. Yeast transformation was performed with limiting amounts of transforming DNA in order to reduce the number of multiple transformed yeast cells. Instead of plasmid isolation from the yeast followed by transformation of  E. coli  as described in Klein et al., supra, PCR analysis was performed on single yeast colonies. PCR primers employed were bipartite in order to amplify the insert and a small portion of the invertase gene (allowing to determine that the insert was in frame with invertase) and to add on universal sequencing primer sites.  
     [3521] An invertase library was transformed into yeast and positives were selected on sucrose plates. Positive clones were re-tested and PCR products were sequenced. The sequence of one clone, PRO276, was determined to contain a signal peptide coding sequence. Oligonucleotide primers and probes were designed using the nucleotide sequence of PRO276. A full length plasmid library of cDNAs from human fetal liver cells was titered and approximately 100,000 cfu were plated in 192 pools of 500 cfu/pool into 96-well round bottom plates. The plates were sealed and pools were grown overnight at 37 C. with shaking (200 rpm). PCR was performed on the individual cultures using primers. Agarose gel electrophoresis was performed and positive wells were identified by visualization of a band of the expected size. Individual positive clones were obtained by colony lift followed by hybridization with  32 P-labeled oligonucleotide. These clones were characterized by PCR, restriction digest, and southern blot analyses.  
     [3522] A full length clone was identified that contained a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 180-182 and a stop signal at nucleotide positions 933-935 (FIG. 3; SEQ ID NO: 5). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 251 amino acids long has a calculated molecular weight of approximately 28,801 daltons and an estimated pI of approximately 9.58. The transmembrane domains are approximately at amino acids 98-116 and 152-172 of the sequence shown in FIG. 4 (SEQ ID NO: 6). Clone DNA16435-1208 (UNQ243) has been deposited with the ATCC and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209930.  
     [3523] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35), using a WU-BLAST-2 sequence alignment analysis of the full-length sequence shown in FIG. 4 (SEQ ID NO: 6), revealed some sequence identity between the PRO276 amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences: CEG25D7 — 2, ATT805 — 2, S69696, GRHR_RAT, NPCBAABCD — 3, AB013149 — 1, P_R85942 and AP000006 — 5.  
     EXAMPLE 6  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO189  
     [3524] A clone designated herein as DNA14187 was isolated as described in Example 2 above from a human retina tissue library. The DNA14187 sequence is shown in FIG. 7 (SEQ ID NO: 9). Based on the DNA14187 sequence shown in FIG. 7 (SEQ ID NO: 9), oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO189. Forward and reverse PCR primers generally range from 20 to 30 nucleotides and are often designed to give a PCR product of about 100-1000 bp in length. The probe sequences are typically 40-55 bp in length. In order to screen several libraries for a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification, as per Ausubel et al.,  Current Protocols in Molecular Biology , with the PCR primer pair. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the gene of interest using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the primer pairs.  
     [3525] A pair of PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:  
                              forward PCR primer               5′-TTGACCTATACAGAGATTCATC-3′; and   (SEQ ID NO:10)               reverse PCR primer       5′-CTAAGAACTTCCCTCAGGATTTT-3′.   (SEQ ID NO:11)          
 
     [3526] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization probe was constructed from the DNA14187 sequence which had the following nucleotide sequence:  
     [3527] Hybridization Probe  
     [3528] 5′-ATGAAGATCAATTTCAAGAAGCATGCACTTCTCCTCTTGC-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 12).  
     [3529] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO189 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers.  
     [3530] RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human retina tissue (LIB94). The cDNA libraries used to isolate the cDNA clones were constructed by standard methods using commercially available reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif. The cDNA was primed with oligo dT containing a NotI site, linked with blunt to SalI hemikinased adaptors, cleaved with NotI, sized appropriately by gel electrophoresis, and cloned in a defined orientation into a suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or pRKD; pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site; see, Holmes et al.,  Science,  253:1278-1280 (1991)) in the unique XhoI and NotI sites.  
     [3531] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO189 and the derived protein sequence for PRO189.  
     [3532] The entire nucleotide sequence of DNA21624-1391 is shown in FIG. 5 (SEQ ID NO: 7). Clone DNA21624-1391 contains a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 200-202 and ending at the stop codon at nucleotide positions 1301-1303 (FIG. 5). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 367 amino acids long (FIG. 6). The full-length PRO189 protein shown in FIG. 6 has an estimated molecular weight of about 41,871 daltons and a pI of about 5.06. Clone DNA21624-1391 has been deposited with the ATCC. Regarding the sequence, it is understood that the deposited clone contains the correct sequence, and the sequences provided herein are based on known sequencing techniques.  
     [3533] Analyzing the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 8, the putative N-glycosylation sites are at about amino acids 224-227, 246-249 and 285-288. A domain for cytosolic fatty-acid binding proteins is at amino acids 78-107 of SEQ ID NO: 8. The corresponding nucleotides can be routinely determined given the sequences provided herein.  
     [3534] Some sequence identity was found to W01A6.1 and F35D11.11, C. Elegans proteins, designated in a Dayhoff database as CEW01A6 — 10 and CELF35D11 — 11, respectively. Some sequence identity was also found to an antigen to malaria and to restin, designated in a Dayhoff database as P_R05766 and AF014012 — 1, respectively. Some sequence identity was also found to a microtubule binding protein and to myosin, designated in a Dayhoff database as AF041382 — 1 and S07537, respectively. There is also some sequence identity with 1-phosphatidylinositol-4, 5-bisphosphate, designated as PIP1_RAT.  
     EXAMPLE 7  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO190  
     [3535] A clone designated herein as DNA14232 was isolated as described in Example 2 above from a human fetal retina tissue library. The DNA14232 sequence is shown in FIG. 10 (SEQ ID NO: 15). Based on the DNA14232 sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO190. Forward and reverse PCR primers generally range from 20 to 30 nucleotides and are often designed to give a PCR product of about 100-1000 bp in length. The probe sequences are typically 40-55 bp in length. In order to screen several libraries for a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification, as per Ausubel et al.,  Current Protocols in Molecular Biology , with the PCR primer pair. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the gene of interest using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the primer pairs.  
     [3536] A pair of PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:  
                              forward PCR primer   +TL,22           5′-CTATACCTACTGTAGCTTCT-3′; and   (SEQ ID NO:16)               reverse PCR primer       5′-TCAGAGAATTCCTTCCAGGA-3′.   (SEQ ID NO:17)          
 
     [3537] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization probe was constructed from the DNA14232 sequence which had the following nucleotide sequence:  
     [3538] Hybridization Probe  
     [3539] 5′-ACAGTGCTGTAGTCATCCTGTAATATGCTCCTTGTCAACA-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 18).  
     [3540] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO190 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers.  
     [3541] RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human retina tissue (LIB94). The cDNA libraries used to isolate the cDNA clones were constructed by standard methods using commercially available reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif. The cDNA was primed with oligo dT containing a NotI site, linked with blunt to SalI hemikinased adaptors, cleaved with NotI, sized appropriately by gel electrophoresis, and cloned in a defined orientation into a suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or pRKD; pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site; see, Holmes et al.,  Science,  253:1278-1280 (1991)) in the unique XhoI and NotI sites.  
     [3542] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above gave sequences which include the full-length DNA sequence for PRO190 [herein designated as DNA23334-1392] (SEQ ID NO: 13) and the derived protein sequence for PRO190.  
     [3543] The entire nucleotide sequence of DNA23334-1392 is shown in FIG. 8 (SEQ ID NO: 13). Clone DNA23334-1392 contains a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 193-195 and which ends at the stop codon at nucleotide positions 1465-1467 (FIG. 8). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 424 amino acids long (FIG. 9). The full-length PRO190 protein shown in FIG. 9 has an estimated molecular weight of about 48,500 daltons and a pI of about 8.65. Clone DNA23334-1392 has been deposited with the ATCC. Regarding the sequence, it is understood that the deposited clone contains the correct sequence, and the sequences provided herein are based on known sequencing techniques.  
     [3544] Analyzing the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 14, the putative transmembrane domains are at about amino acids 16-36, 50-74, 147-168, 229-250, 271-293, 298-318 and 328-368 of SEQ ID NO: 14. N-glycosylation sites are at about amino acids 128-131, 204-207, 218-221 and 274-377 of SEQ ID NO: 14. The corresponding nucleotides can be routinely determined given the sequences provided herein.  
     [3545] PRO190 has sequence identity with at least the following Dayhoff sequences designated as: CEZK896 — 2, JC5023, GMS1_SCHPO and S44668.  
     EXAMPLE 8  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO341  
     [3546] A clone designated herein as DNA12920 was isolated as described in Example 2 above from a human placenta tissue library. The DNA12920 sequence is shown in FIG. 13 (SEQ ID NO: 21). The DNA12920 sequence was then compared to various EST databases including public EST databases (e.g., GenBank), and a proprietary EST database (LIFESEQ®, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) to identify homologous EST sequences. The comparison was performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 [Altschul et al.,  Methods in Enzymology,  266:460-480 (1996)]. Those comparisons resulting in a BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases, 90) or greater that did not encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into a consensus DNA sequence with the program “phrap” (Phil Green, University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.). This consensus sequence is herein designated DNA25314. Oligonucleotide primers based upon the DNA25314 sequence were then synthesized and employed to screen a human placenta cDNA library which resulted in the identification of the DNA26288-1239 clone shown in FIG. 11. The cloning vector was pRK5B (pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site; see, Holmes et al.,  Science,  253:1278-1280 (1991)), and the cDNA size cut was less than 2800 bp.  
     [3547] A full length clone was identified that contained a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 380-382, and a stop signal at nucleotide positions 1754-1756 (FIG. 11, SEQ ID NO: 19). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 458 amino acids long, has a calculated molecular weight of approximately 50,264 daltons and an estimated pI of approximately 8.17. Analysis of the full-length PRO341 sequence shown in FIG. 12 (SEQ ID NO: 20) evidences the presence of the following: a signal peptide from about amino acid 1 to about amino acid 17, transmembrane domains from about amino acid 171 to about amino acid 190, from about amino acid 220 to about amino acid 239, from about amino acid 259 to about amino acid 275, from about amino acid 286 to about amino acid 305, from about amino acid 316 to about amino acid 335, from about amino acid 353 to about amino acid 378 and from about amino acid 396 to about amino acid 417 and potential N-glycosylation sites from about amino acid 145 to about amino acid 147 and from about amino acid 155 to about amino acid 158. Clone DNA26288-1239 has been deposited with ATCC on Apr. 21, 1998 and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209792.  
     [3548] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35), using a WU-BLAST-2 sequence alignment analysis of the full-length sequence shown in FIG. 12 (SEQ ID NO: 20), evidenced homology between the PRO341 amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences: S75696, H69788, D69852, A69888, B64918, F64752, LPU89276 — 1, G64962, S52977 and S44253.  
     EXAMPLE 9  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO180  
     [3549] A clone designated herein as DNA12922 was isolated as described in Example 2 above from a human placenta tissue library. The DNA12922 sequence is shown in FIG. 16 (SEQ ID NO: 24). The DNA12922 sequence was then compared to various EST databases including public EST databases (e.g., GenBank), and a proprietary EST database (LIFESEQ®, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) to identify homologous EST sequences. The comparison was performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 [Altschul et al.,  Methods in Enzymology,  266:460-480 (1996)]. Those comparisons resulting in a BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases, 90) or greater that did not encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into a consensus DNA sequence with the program “phrap” (Phil Green, University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.).  
     [3550] An oligonucleotide probe was formed based upon the consensus sequence obtained above. This probe had the following sequence.  
     [3551] 5′-ACCTGTTAGAAATGTGGTGGTTTCAGCAAGGCCTCAGTTT (SEQ ID NO: 25).  
     [3552] This probe was used to screen a human placenta library prepared as described in paragraph 1 of Example 2 above. The cloning vector was pRK5B (pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site; see, Holmes et al.,  Science,  253:1278-1280 (1991)), and the cDNA size cut was less than 2800 bp. A clone designated herein as DNA26843-1389 was obtained.  
     [3553] The entire nucleotide sequence of DNA26843-1389 is shown in FIG. 14 (SEQ ID NO: 22). Clone DNA26843-1389 contains a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 121-123 and ending at the stop codon at nucleotide positions 919-921 (FIG. 14). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 266 amino acids long (FIG. 15). The full-length PRO180 protein shown in FIG. 15 has an estimated molecular weight of about 29,766 daltons and a pI of about 8.39. Clone DNA26843-1389 has been deposited with the ATCC. Regarding the sequence, it is understood that the deposited clone contains the correct sequence, and the sequences provided herein are based on known sequencing techniques.  
     [3554] Still analyzing the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 23, the transmembrane domains are at about amino acids 13-33 (type II), 54-73, 94-113, 160-180 and 122-141 of SEQ ID NO: 23. N-myristoylation sites are at about amino acids 57-62, 95-100, 99-104, 124-129 and 183-188 of SEQ ID NO: 23. The corresponding nucleotides can be routinely determined given the sequences provided herein.  
     [3555] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35), using a WU-BLAST2 sequence alignment analysis of the full-length sequence shown in FIG. 15 (SEQ ID NO: 23), evidenced some sequence identity between the PRO180 amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences: CEC33A11 — 2, CEG11E6 — 5, CELW03A5 — 1 AND PEU83861 — 2 (NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4L, mitochondrion).  
     EXAMPLE 10  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO194  
     [3556] A consensus DNA sequence was assembled relative to other EST sequences using phrap as described in Example 1 above. This consensus sequence is herein DNA19464. Based on the DNA19464 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO194. PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized based upon the DNA19464 sequence. Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization probe was constructed from the consensus DNA19464 sequence.  
     [3557] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO194 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers. RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human fetal lung tissue (LIB25).  
     [3558] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO194 [herein designated as DNA26844-1394] (SEQ ID NO: 27) and the derived protein sequence for PRO194.  
     [3559] The entire nucleotide sequence of DNA26844-1394 is shown in FIG. 17 (SEQ ID NO: 27). Clone DNA26844-1394 contains a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 81-83 and ending at the stop codon at nucleotide positions 873-875 (FIG. 17). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 264 amino acids long (FIG. 18). The full-length PRO194 protein shown in FIG. 18 has an estimated molecular weight of about 29,665 daltons and a pI of about 9.34. Analysis of the full-length PRO194 sequence shown in FIG. 18 (SEQ ID NO: 28) evidences the presence of various important polypeptides domains as shown in FIG. 18. Clone DNA26844-1394 has been deposited with ATCC on Jun. 2, 1998 and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209926.  
     [3560] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length PRO194 polypeptide suggests that it does not exhibit significant sequence similarity to any known human protein. However, an analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35) evidenced some homology between the PRO194 amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences, HUMORFT — 1, CET07F10 — 5, ATFCA9 — 12, F64934, YDJX —   ECOLI , ATAF00065719F29G20.19, H70002, S76980, H64934 and S76385.  
     EXAMPLE 11  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO203  
     [3561] A clone designated herein as DNA15618 was isolated as described in Example 2 above from a human fetal lung tissue library. The DNA15618 sequence is shown in FIG. 21 (SEQ ID NO: 31). Oligonucleotide probes were generated from the sequence of the DNA15618 molecule and were used to screen a human fetal lung library (LIB26) prepared as described in paragraph 1 of Example 2 above. The cloning vector was pRK5B (pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site; see, Holmes et al.,  Science,  253:1278-1280 (1991)), and the cDNA size cut was less than 2800 bp.  
     [3562] A full length clone was identified that contained a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 159-161 and ending at the stop codon found at nucleotide positions 1200-1202 (FIG. 19; SEQ ID NO: 29). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 347 amino acids long, has a calculated molecular weight of approximately 39,870 daltons and an estimated pI of approximately 6.76. Analysis of the full-length PRO203 sequence shown in FIG. 20 (SEQ ID NO: 30) evidences the presence of the following: a type II transmembrane domain at about amino acid 64 to about amino acid 87; possible N-glycosylation sites at about amino acid 147 to about amino acid 150, about amino acid 155 to about amino acid 158, and about amino acid 237 to about amino acid 240; sequence identity with heavy-metal-associated domain proteins at about amino acid 23 to about amino acid 45, and sequence identity with D-isomer specific 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase at about amino acid 24 to about amino acid 34. Clone DNA30862-1396 was deposited with the ATCC on Jun. 2, 1998, and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209920.  
     [3563] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length PRO203 polypeptide suggests that it possesses sequence similarity to GST ATPase, thereby indicating that PRO203 may be a novel GST ATPase. More specifically, an analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35) evidenced homology between the PRO203 amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences, AF008124 — 1, CFRCD1GEN — 1, and P_R82566.  
     EXAMPLE 12  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO290  
     [3564] An expressed sequence tag (EST) DNA database (LIFESEQ®, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) was searched and an EST was identified that had homology to beige and FAN. An oligonucleotide probe based upon the identified EST sequence was then synthesized and used to screen human fetal kidney cDNA libraries in an attempt to identify a full-length cDNA clone. The oligonucleotide probe had the following sequence:  
     [3565] 5′ TGACTGCACTACCCCGTGGCAAGCTGTTGAGCCAGCTCAGCTG 3′ (SEQ ID NO: 34).  
     [3566] RNA for construction of cDNA libraries was isolated from human fetal kidney tissue. The cDNA libraries used to isolate the cDNA clones encoding human PRO290 were constructed by standard methods using commercially available reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif. The cDNA was primed with oligo dT containing a NotI site, linked with blunt to SalI hemilinased adaptors, cleaved with NotI, sized appropriately by gel electrophoresis, and cloned in a defined orientation into a suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or pRKD; pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site; see, Holmes et al.,  Science  253:1278-1280 (1991)) in the unique XhoI and NotI.  
     [3567] A cDNA clone was identified and sequenced in entirety. The entire nucleotide sequence of DNA35680-1212 is shown in FIG. 22 (SEQ ID NO: 32). Clone DNA35680-1212 contains a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 293-295, and a stop codon at nucleotide positions 3302-3304 (FIG. 22; SEQ ID NO: 32). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 1003 amino acids long.  
     [3568] It is currently believed that the PRO290 polypeptide is related to FAN and/or beige. Clone DNA35680-1212 has been deposited with ATCC and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209790. It is understood that the deposited clone has the actual correct sequence rather than the representations provided herein. The full-length PRO290 protein shown in FIG. 23 has an estimated molecular weight of about 112,013 daltons and a pI of about 6.4.  
     EXAMPLE 13  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO874  
     [3569] A consensus DNA sequence designated herein as DNA36459 was identified using phrap as described in Example 1 above. Based on the DNA36459 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the coding sequence for PRO874.  
     [3570] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:  
                              forward PCR primer               5′-TCGTGCCCAGGGGCTGATGTGC-3′; and   (SEQ ID NO:37)               reverse PCR primer       5′-GTCTTTACCCAGCCCCGGGATGCG-3′.   (SEQ ID NO:38)          
 
     [3571] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization probe was constructed from the consensus DNA36459 sequence which had the following nucleotide sequence:  
     [3572] Hybridization Probe  
     [3573] 5′-GGCCTAATCCAACGTTCTGTCTTCAATCTGCAAATCTATGGGGTCCTGGG-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 39).  
     [3574] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO874 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers. RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human fetal lung tissue (LIB25).  
     [3575] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above gave the DNA sequence for PRO874 [herein designated as DNA40621-1440] (SEQ ID NO: 35) and the derived protein sequence for PRO874.  
     [3576] The entire nucleotide sequence of DNA40621-1440 is shown in FIG. 24 (SEQ ID NO: 35). Clone DNA40621-1440 contains a single open reading frame ending at the stop codon at nucleotide positions 964-966 (FIG. 24). The predicted polypeptide encoded by DNA40621-1440 is 321 amino acids long (FIG. 25). The PRO874 protein shown in FIG. 25 has an estimated molecular weight of about 36,194 daltons and a pI of about 9.85. Analysis of the PRO874 sequence shown in FIG. 25 (SEQ ID NO: 36) evidenced the presence of the following: a type II transmembrane domain at about amino acids 57-80; additional transmembrane domains at about amino acids 110-126, 215-231, and 254-274; potential N-glycosylation sites at about amino acids 16-19, 27-30, and 289-292; sequence identity with hypothetical YBR002c family proteins at about amino acids 276-287; and sequence identity with ammonium transporter proteins at about amino acids 204-230. Clone DNA40621-1440 was deposited with the ATCC on Jun. 2, 1998, and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209922.  
     [3577] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the PRO874 polypeptide suggests that it is a novel multi-span transmembrane protein. However, an analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35) evidenced sequence identity between the PRO874 amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences: S67049, AF054839 — 1, S73437, S52460, and HIVU80570 — 1.  
     EXAMPLE 14  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO710  
     [3578] A yeast screening assay was employed to identify cDNA clones that encoded potential secreted proteins. Use of this yeast screening assay allowed identification of a single cDNA clone whose sequence (herein designated as DNA38190) is shown in FIG. 28 (SEQ ID NO: 42). Based on the DNA38190 sequence shown in FIG. 28, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO710. In order to screen several libraries for a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification, as per Ausubel et al.,  Current Protocols in Molecular Biology , with the PCR primer pair. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the gene of interest using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the primer pairs.  
     [3579] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:  
                              forward PCR primer               5′-TTCCGCAAAGAGTTCTACGAGGTGG-3′   (SEQ ID NO:43)               reverse PCR primer       5′-ATTGACAACATTGACTGGCCTATGGG-3′   (SEQ ID NO:44)          
 
     [3580] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization probe was constructed from the DNA38190 sequence which had the following nucleotide sequence

     [3582] 5′-GTGGATGCTCTGTGTGCGTGCAAGATCCTTCAGGCCTTGTTCCAGTGTGA-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 45)  
     [3583] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO710 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers.  
     [3584] RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human fetal kidney tissue (LIB227). The cDNA libraries used to isolate the cDNA clones were constructed by standard methods using commercially available reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif. The cDNA was primed with oligo dT containing a NotI site, linked with blunt to SalI hemikinased adaptors, cleaved with NotI, sized appropriately by gel electrophoresis, and cloned in a defined orientation into a suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or pRKD; pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site; see, Holmes et al.,  Science,  253:1278-1280 (1991)) in the unique XhoI and NotI sites.  
     [3585] A full length clone was identified that contained a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 67-69 and ending at the stop codon found at nucleotide positions 1765-1767 (FIG. 26, SEQ ID NO: 40). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 566 amino acids long, has a calculated molecular weight of approximately 65,555 daltons and an estimated pI of approximately 5.44. Analysis of the full-length PRO710 sequence shown in FIG. 27 (SEQ ID NO: 41) evidences the presence of the following: a signal peptide from about amino acid 1 to about amino acid 32, a transmembrane domain from about amino acid 454 to about amino acid 476, an aminoacyl-transfer RNA synthetase class-II signature sequence from about amino acid 6 to about amino acid 26 and potential N-glycosylation sites from about amino acid 111 to about amino acid 114, from about amino acid 146 to about amino acid 149 and from about amino acid 292 to about amino acid 295. Clone DNA44161-1434 has been deposited with ATCC on May 27, 1998 and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209907.  
     [3586] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length PRO710 polypeptide suggests that it possesses significant sequence similarity to the CDC45 protein, thereby indicating that PRO710 may be a novel CDC45 homolog. More specifically, an analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35) evidenced significant homology between the PRO710 amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences, HSAJ3728 — 1, CEF34D10 — 1, S64939, UMU50276 — 1, TRHY_SHEEP, CELT14E8 — 1, RNA1_YEAST, LVU89340 — 1, HSU80736 — 1 and CEZK337 — 2.

     EXAMPLE 17  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO358  
     [3605] Using the method described in Example 1 above, a single EST sequence was identified in the Incyte database, designated herein as INC3115949. Based on the INC3115949 EST sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest and for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO358.  
     [3606] A pair of PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:  
                              forward PCR primer               5′-TCCCACCAGGTATCATAAACTGAA-3′   (SEQ ID NO:58)               reverse PCR primer       5′-TTATAGACAATCTGTTCTCATCAGAGA-3′   (SEQ ID NO:59)          
 
     [3607] A probe was also synthesized: 5′-AAAAAGCATACTTGGAATGGCCCAAGGATAGGTGTAAATG-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 60)  
     [3608] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO358 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers. RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human bone marrow (LIB256). The cDNA libraries used to isolated the cDNA clones were constructed by standard methods using commercially available reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif. The cDNA was primed with oligo dT containing a NotI site, linked with blunt to SalI hemikinased adaptors, cleaved with NotI, sized appropriately by gel electrophoresis, and cloned in a defined orientation into a suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or pRKD; pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site; see, Holmes et al.,  Science,  253:1278-1280 (1991)) in the unique XhoI and NotI sites.  
     [3609] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO358 (FIG. 33, SEQ ID NO: 56) and the derived protein sequence for PRO358 (FIGS.  34 , SEQ ID NO: 57).

Use of this yeast screening assay allowed identification of a single cDNA clone whose sequence (herein designated as DNA39906) is shown in FIG. 39 (SEQ ID NO: 68). Based on the DNA39906 sequence shown in FIG. 39, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO698. In order to screen several libraries for a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification, as per Ausubel et al.,  Current Protocols in Molecular Biology , with the PCR primer pair. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the gene of interest using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the primer pairs.

A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO698 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers. RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human bone marrow tissue (LIB255). The cDNA libraries used to isolate the cDNA clones were constructed by standard methods using commercially available reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif. The cDNA was primed with oligo dT containing a NotI site, linked with blunt to SalI hemikinased adaptors, cleaved with NotI, sized appropriately by gel electrophoresis, and cloned in a defined orientation into a suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or pRKD; pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site; see, Holmes et al.,  Science,  253:1278-1280 (1991)) in the unique XhoI and NotI sites.

     EXAMPLE 20  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO732  
     [3628] A yeast screening assay was employed to identify cDNA clones that encoded potential secreted proteins. Use of this yeast screening assay allowed identification of a single cDNA clone whose sequence herein designated as DNA42580) is shown in FIG. 45 (SEQ ID NO: 77). The DNA42580 sequence was then compared to a variety of known EST sequences to identify homologies. The EST databases employed included public EST databases (e.g., GenBank) and a proprietary EST DNA database (LIFESEQ™, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.). The search was performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et al.,  Methods in Enzymology  266:460-480 (1996)) as a comparison to a 6 frame translation of the EST sequence. Those comparisons resulting in a BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater that did not encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into consensus DNA sequences with the program “phrap” (Phil Green, University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.).  
     [3629] Using the above analysis, a consensus DNA sequence was assembled relative to other EST sequences using phrap. This consensus sequence is herein designated consen01. Proprietary Genentech EST sequences were employed in the consensus assembly and they are herein designated DNA20239 (FIG. 42; SEQ ID NO: 74), DNA38050 (FIG. 43; SEQ ID NO: 75) and DNA40683 (FIG. 44; SEQ ID NO: 76).  
     [3630] Based on the consen01 sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO732. Forward and reverse PCR primers generally range from 20 to 30 nucleotides and are often designed to give a PCR product of about 100-1000 bp in length. The probe sequences are typically 40-55 bp in length. In some cases, additional oligonucleotides are synthesized when the consensus sequence is greater than about 1-1.5 kbp. In order to screen several libraries for a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification, as per Ausubel et al.,  Current Protocols in Molecular Biology , with the PCR primer pair. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the gene of interest using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the primer pairs.

     [3656] Use of the signal sequence algorithm described in Example 3 above allowed identification of an EST cluster sequence from the Incyte database, designated herein as ss.clu12694.init. This EST cluster sequence was then compared to a variety of expressed sequence tag (EST) databases which included public EST databases (e.g., GenBank) and a proprietary EST DNA database (LIFESEQ®, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) to identify existing homologies. The homology search was performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et al.,  Methods in Enzymology  266:460-480 (1996)). Those comparisons resulting in a BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater that did not encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into a consensus DNA sequence with the program “phrap” (Phil Green, University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained therefrom is herein designated DNA48352. Two propietary Genentech EST sequences were employed in the assembly are are herein shown in FIGS.  54  and 55.  
     [3657] In light of an observed sequence homology between the DNA48352 consensus sequence and an EST sequence encompassed within the Merck EST clone no. H86994, the Merck EST clone H86994 was purchased and the cDNA insert was obtained and sequenced. It was found that this insert encoded a full-length protein. The sequence of this cDNA insert is shown in FIG. 52 and is herein designated as DNA49143-1429.

Clone DNA49143-1429 has been deposited with ATCC on Jun. 23, 1998 and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 203013.  
     [3659] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35), using a WU-BLAST-2 sequence alignment analysis of the full-length sequence shown in FIG. 53 (SEQ ID NO: 99), evidenced homology between the PRO535 amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences: S71237, P_R93551, P_R28980, S71238, FKB2_HUMAN, CELC05C8 — 1, S55383, S72485, CELC50F2 — 6 and S75144.

     [3660] A cDNA sequence isolated in the amylase screen described in Example 2 (human fetal lung library) above is herein designated DNA43512 (see FIG. 62; SEQ ID NO: 108). The DNA43512 sequence was then compared to a variety of expressed sequence tag (EST) databases which included public EST databases (e.g., GenBank) and a proprietary EST DNA database (LIFESEQ™, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) to identify existing homologies. The homology search was performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et al.,  Methods in Enzymology  266:460-480 (1996)). Those comparisons resulting in a BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater that did not encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into consensus DNA sequences with the program “phrap” (Phil Green, University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained therefrom is herein designated DNA45625. Proprietary Genentech EST sequences were employed in the assembly and are herein shown in FIGS.  58 - 61 .  
     [3661] Based on the DNA45625 sequence, oligonucleotide probes were generated and used to screen a human fetal lung library (LIB25) prepared as described in paragraph 1 of Example 2 above. The cloning vector was pRK5B (pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site; see, Holmes et al.,  Science,  253:1278-1280 (1991)), and the cDNA size cut was less than 2800 bp.  
     [3662] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:  
                              forward PCR primer               5′-GGGTGGATGGTACTGCTGCATCC-3′   (SEQ ID NO:109)               reverse PCR primer       5′-TGTTGTGCTGTGGGAAATCAGATGTG-3′   (SEQ ID NO:110)          
 
     [3663] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization probe was constructed from the DNA45625 sequence which had the following nucleotide sequence:

     [3665] 5′-GTGTCTGGAGGCTGTGGCCGTTTTGTTTTCTTGGGCTAAAATCGGG-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 111)  
     [3666] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO718 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers.  
     [3667] A full length clone was identified that contained a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 36-38 and ending at the stop codon found at nucleotide positions 607-609 (FIG. 56; SEQ ID NO: 102). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 157 amino acids long, has a calculated molecular weight of approximately 17,400 daltons and an estimated pI of approximately 5.78. Analysis of the full-length PRO718 sequence shown in FIG. 57 (SEQ ID NO: 103) evidences the presence of the following: a type II transmembrane domain from about amino acid 21 to about amino acid 40, and other transmembrane domains at about amino acid 58 to about amino acid 78, about amino acid 95 to about amino acid 114, and about amino acid 127 to about amino acid 147; a cell attachment sequence from about amino acid 79 to about amino acid 81; and a potential N-glycosylation site from about amino acid 53 to about amino acid 56. Clone DNA49647-1398 has been deposited with ATCC on Jun. 2, 1998 and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209919.  
     [3668] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length PRO718 polypeptide suggests that it possesses no significant sequence similarity to any known protein. However, an analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35) evidenced some degree of homology between the PRO718 amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences: AF045606 — 1, AF039906 — 1, SPBC8D2 — 2, S63441, F64728, COX1_TRYBB, F64375, E64173, RPYGJT — 3, MTCY261 — 23.

     [3704] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification with a PCR primer pair identified above. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO1133 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers. RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human fetal kidney tissue.  
     [3705] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO1133 and the derived protein sequence for PRO1133.  
     [3706] The entire coding sequence of PRO1133 is shown in FIG. 73 (SEQ ID NO: 128). Clone DNA53913-1490 contains a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 266-268 and an apparent stop codon at nucleotide positions 1580-1582 of SEQ ID NO: 128. The predicted polypeptide precursor is 438 amino acids long. The signal peptide is at amino acids 1-18 of SEQ ID NO: 129. EGF-like domain cysteine pattern signatures start at 315 and 385 of SEQ ID NO: 129 as shown in FIG. 74. Clone DNA53913-1490 has been deposited with ATCC and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 203162. The full-length PRO1133 protein shown in FIG. 74 has an estimated molecular weight of about 49,260 daltons and a pI of about 6.15.  
     [3707] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35), using a WU-BLAST-2 sequence alignment analysis of the full-length sequence shown in FIG. 74 (SEQ ID NO: 129), revealed some sequence identity between the PRO1133 amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences (data from the database incorporated herein): AF002717 — 1, LMG1_HUMAN, B54665, UNC6_CAEEL, LML1_CAEEL, LMA5_MOUSE, MMU88353 — 1, LMA1_HUMAN, HSLN2C64 — 1 and AF005258 — 1.  
     EXAMPLE 32  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO784  
     [3708] An initial DNA sequence (SEQ ID NO: 136), referred to herein as DNA44661 and shown in FIG. 77, was identified using a yeast screen, in a human fetal lung cDNA library that preferentially represents the 5′ ends of the primary cDNA clones. DNA44661 was then compared to ESTs from public databases (e.g., GenBank), and a proprietary EST database (LIFESEQ®, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.), using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 [Altschul et al.,  Methods in Enzymology,  266:460-480 (1996)]. The ESTs were then clustered and assembled into a consensus DNA sequence using the computer program “phrap” (Phil Green, University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained is designated herein as “DNA45463”. Based on the DNA45463 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO784 from a human fetal lung cDNA library.  
     [3709] The full length DNA53978-1443 clone shown in FIG. 75 contained a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 37-39 and ending at the stop codon found at nucleotide positions 821-823 (FIG. 75; SEQ ID NO: 134). The predicted polypeptide precursor (FIG. 76, SEQ ID NO: 135) is 228 amino acids long. PRO784 has a calculated molecular weight of approximately 25,735 Daltons and an estimated pI of approximately 5.45. PRO784 has the following features: a signal peptide at about amino acid 1 to about 15; transmembrane domains at about amino acids 68 to about 87 and at about 183 to about 204; potential N-myristoylation sites at about amino acids 15-20, 51-56, 66-60, 163-168, and 206-211; and an RNP-1 protein RNA-binding region at about amino acids 108 to about 117.  
     [3710] Clone DNA53978-1443 was deposited with ATCC on Jun. 16, 1998, and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209983.  
     [3711] Based on a BLAST and FastA sequence alignment analysis (using the ALIGN computer program) of the full-length sequence, PRO784 shows amino acid sequence identity to the following proteins: RNU42209 — 1, MMU91538 — 1, CGU91742 — 1, CELF55A4 — 6, SC22_YEAST, and F48188.  
     EXAMPLE 33  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO783  
     [3712] A yeast screening assay was employed to identify cDNA clones that encoded potential secreted proteins. Use of this yeast screening assay allowed identification of a single cDNA clone, designated herein as DNA45201 (FIG. 80; SEQ ID NO: 139).  
     [3713] The DNA45201 sequence was then used to search expressed sequence tag (EST) databases for the presence of potential homologies. The EST databases included public EST databases (e.g., GenBank) and a proprietary EST DNA database (LIFESEQ™, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.). The search was performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et al.,  Methods in Enzymology  266:460-480 (1996)). Those comparisons resulting in a BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater that did not encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into a consensus DNA sequence with the program “phrap” (Phil Green, Univ. of Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained is herein designated as “consen01”. A proprietary Genentech EST sequence was used in the consensus assembly and is herein designated as DNA14575 (FIG. 81; SEQ ID NO: 140).  
     [3714] Based on the consen01 sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO783. In order to screen several libraries for a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification, as per Ausubel et al.,  Current Protocols in Molecular Biology , with the PCR primer pair. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the gene of interest using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the primer pairs.  
     [3715] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:  
                              forward PCR primer               5′-GACTGTATCTGAGCCCCAGACTGC-3′,   (SEQ ID NO:141)               forward PCR primer       5′-TCAGCAATGAGGTGCTGCTC-3′, and   (SEQ ID NO:142)               reverse PCR primer       5′-TGAGGAAGATGAGGGACAGGTTGG-3′.   (SEQ ID NO:143)          
 
     [3716] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization probe was constructed from the consen01 sequence which had the following nucleotide sequence:  
     [3717] Hybridization Probe  
     [3718] 5 ′-TATGGAAGCACCTGACTACGAAGTGCTATCCGTGCGAGAACAGCTATTCC-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 144).  
     [3719] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification with a PCR primer pair identified above. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO783 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers.  
     [3720] RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human fetal kidney tissue (LIB228). The cDNA libraries used to isolate the cDNA clones were constructed by standard methods using commercially available reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif. The cDNA was primed with oligo dT containing a NotI site, linked with blunt to SalI hemikinased adaptors, cleaved with NotI, sized appropriately by gel electrophoresis, and cloned in a defined orientation into a suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or pRKD; pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site; see, Holmes et al.,  Science,  253:1278-1280 (1991)) in the unique XhoI and NotI sites.  
     [3721] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO783 [herein designated as DNA53996-1442] (SEQ ID NO: 137) and the derived protein sequence for PRO783.

     EXAMPLE 48  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO1135  
     [3792] A consensus DNA sequence was assembled relative to other EST sequences using phrap as described in Example 1 above. This consensus sequence is herein designated DNA52767. Based on the DNA52767 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO1135.  
     [3793] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification with PCR primer pairs prepared based upon the DNA52767 sequence. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO1135 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers. RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human coronary artery smooth muscle tissue (LIB309). The cDNA libraries used to isolate the cDNA clones were constructed by standard methods using commercially available reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif. The cDNA was primed with oligo dT containing a NotI site, linked with blunt to SalI hemikinased adaptors, cleaved with NotI, sized appropriately by gel electrophoresis, and cloned in a defined orientation into a suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or pRKD; pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site; see, Holmes et al.,  Science,  253:1278-1280 (1991)) in the unique XhoI and NotI sites.

The full-length PRO1135 protein shown in FIG. 115 has an estimated molecular weight of about 60,335 daltons and a pI of about 5.26. Analysis of the full-length PRO1135 sequence shown in FIG. 115 (SEQ ID NO: 181) evidences the presence of the following: a signal peptide from about amino acid 1 to about aino acid 21, potential N-glycosylation sited from about amino acid 53 to about amino acid 56, from about amino acid 75 to about amino acid 78, from about amino acid 252 to about amino acid 255 and from about amino acid 413 to about amino acid 416 and an amino acid block having homology to glycosyl hydrolase family 35 proteins from about amino acid 399 to about amino acid 414. Clone DNA56870-1492 has been deposited with ATCC on Jun. 2, 1998 and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209925.  
     [3796] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length PRO1135 polypeptide suggests that it possesses significant sequence similarity to the alpha 1,2-mannosidase protein, thereby indicating that PRO1135 may be a novel mannosidase. More specifically, an analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35) evidenced significant homology between the PRO1135 amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences, DMC86E4 — 5, D86967 — 1, SPAC23A1 — 4, YH04_YEAST, B54408, SSMAN9MAN — 1, CEZC410 — 4, S61631 and MSU14190 — 1.

     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO828  
     [3803] A consensus DNA sequence was identified using the method described in Example 1 above. This consensus sequence is herein designated DNA35717. Based on the DNA35717 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO828.  
     [3804] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:  
                              forward PCR primer               5′-GCAGGACTTCTACGACTTCAAGGC-3′;   (SEQ ID NO:190)       and               reverse PCR primer       5′-AGTCTGGGCCAGGTACTTGAAGGC-3′.   (SEQ ID NO:191)

     [3808] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO828 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers.

     [3937] Use of the signal sequence algorithm described in Example 3 above allowed identification of an EST cluster sequence from the Incyte database, designated 170079. This EST cluster sequence was then compared to a variety of expressed sequence tag (EST) databases which included public EST databases (e.g., GenBank) and a proprietary EST DNA database (Lifeseq®, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) to identify existing homologies. The homology search was performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et al.,  Methods in Enzymology  266:460-480 (1996)). Those comparisons resulting in a BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater that did not encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into a consensus DNA sequence with the program “phrap” (Phil Green, University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained therefrom is herein designated as DNA55721.

It was found that this insert encoded a full-length protein. The sequence of this cDNA insert is shown in FIG. 177 and is herein designated as DNA59205-1421.

More particularly, analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length PRO1069 polypeptide using the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35) evidenced homology between the PRO1069 amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences: CHIF_RAT, A55571, PLM_HUMAN, A40533, ATNG_BOVIN, RIC_MOUSE, PETD_SYNY3, VTB1_XENLA, A05009, and S75086.

This EST cluster sequence was then compared to a variety of expressed sequence tag (EST) databases which included public EST databases (e.g., GenBank) and a proprietary EST DNA database (LIFESEQ®, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) to identify existing homologies. The homology search was performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et al.,  Methods in Enzymology  266:460-480 (1996)). Those comparisons resulting in a BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater that did not encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into a consensus DNA sequence with the program “phrap” (Phil Green, University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained therefrom is herein designated DNA59603.  
     [3980] In light of an observed sequence homology between the DNA59603 sequence and an EST sequence contained within Incyte EST clone no. 1497725, the Incyte EST clone no. 1497725 was purchased and the cDNA insert was obtained and sequenced. It was found that the insert encoded a full-length protein. The sequence of this cDNA insert is shown in FIG. 197 and is herein designated as DNA59603-1419.  
     [3981] The entire nucleotide sequence of DNA59603-1419 is shown in FIG. 197 (SEQ ID NO: 280). Clone DNA59603-1419 contains a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 21-23 and ending at the stop codon at nucleotide positions 612-614 (FIG. 197). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 197 amino acids long (FIG. 198). The full-length PRO1028 protein shown in FIG. 198 has an estimated molecular weight of about 20,832 daltons and a pI of about 8.74. Clone DNA59603-1419 has been deposited with the ATCC. Regarding the sequence, it is understood that the deposited clone contains the correct sequence, and the sequences provided herein are based on known sequencing techniques.  
     [3982] Analyzing the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 281, the putative signal peptide is at about amino acids 1-19 of SEQ ID NO: 281. An N-glycosylation site is at about amino acids 35-38 of SEQ ID NO: 281. A C-type lectin domain is at about amino acids 108-117 of SEQ ID NO: 281, indicating that PRO513 may be related to or be a lectin. The corresponding nucleotides of these amino acid sequences or others can be routinely determined given the sequences provided herein.

     [4021] Upon analyzing SEQ ID NO: 299, the approximate locations of the signal peptide, the transmembrane domains, an N-glycosylation site, an N-myristoylation site, a CUB domain and an amiloride-sensitive sodium channel domain are present. It is believed that PRO1100 may function as a channel. The corresponding nucleic acids for these amino acids and others can be routinely determined given SEQ ID NO: 299..

     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO836  
     [4022] Use of the signal sequence algorithm described in Example 3 above allowed identification of an EST cluster sequence from the Incyte database. This EST cluster sequence was then compared to a variety of expressed sequence tag (EST) databases which included public EST databases (e.g., GenBank) and a proprietary EST DNA database (Lifeseq®, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) to identify existing homologies. The homology search was performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et al.,  Methods in Enzymology  266:460-480 (1996)). Those comparisons resulting in a BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater that did not encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into a consensus DNA sequence with the program “phrap” (Phil Green, University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained is herein designated DNA56453.  
     [4023] In light of an observed sequence homology between the DNA56453 consensus sequence and an EST sequence encompassed within the Incyte EST clone no. 2610075, the Incyte EST clone 2610075 was purchased and the cDNA insert was obtained and sequenced. It was found that this insert encoded a full-length protein. The sequence of this cDNA insert is shown in FIG. 217 and is herein designated as DNA59620-1463.  
     [4024] The entire nucleotide sequence of DNA59620-1463 is shown in FIG. 217 (SEQ ID NO: 300). Clone DNA59620-1463 contains a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 65-67 and ending at the stop codon at nucleotide positions 1448-1450 of SEQ ID NO: 300 (FIG. 217). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 461 amino acids long (FIG. 218). The full-length PRO836 protein shown in FIG. 218 has an estimated molecular weight of about 52,085 daltons and a pI of about 5.36. Analysis of the full-length PRO836 sequence shown in FIG. 218 (SEQ ID NO: 301) evidences the presence of the following: a signal peptide, N-glycosylation sites, N-myristoylation sites, a domain conserved in the YJL126w/YLR351c/yhcX family of proteins, and a region having sequence identity with SLS1. Clone DNA59620-1463 has been deposited with ATCC on Jun. 16, 1998. It is understood that the deposited clone has the actual nucleic acid sequence and that the sequences provided herein are based on known sequencing techniques.  
     [4025] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length PRO836 polypeptide suggests that it possesses some sequence similarity to SLS1, thereby indicating that PRO836 may be involved in protein translocation of the ER. More specifically, an analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35) evidenced some homology between the PRO836 amino acid sequence and at least the following Dayhoff sequences, S58132, SPBC3B9 — 1, S66714, CRU40057 — 1 and IMA_CAEEL.

     [4026] Use of the signal sequence algorithm described in Example 3 above allowed identification of an EST cluster sequence from the Incyte database, designated 11873. This EST cluster sequence was then compared to a variety of expressed sequence tag (EST) databases which included public EST databases (e.g., GenBank) and a proprietary EST DNA database (LIFESEQ®, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) to identify existing homologies. The homology search was performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et al.,  Methods in Enzymology  266:460-480 (1996)).

The consensus sequence obtained therefrom is herein designated DNA56518.  
     [4027] In light of an observed sequence homology between the DNA56518 consensus sequence and an EST sequence encompassed within the Incyte EST clone no. 2679995, the Incyte EST clone 2679995 was purchased and the cDNA insert was obtained and sequenced. It was found that this insert encoded a full-length protein. The sequence of this cDNA insert is shown in FIG. 219 and is herein designated as DNA59625-1498.  
     [4028] Clone DNA59625-1498 contains a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 204-206 and ending at the stop codon at nucleotide positions 945-947 (FIG. 219).

The full-length PRO1141 protein shown in FIG. 220 has an estimated molecular weight of about 26,840 daltons and a pI of about 8.19. Analysis of the full-length PRO1141 sequence shown in FIG. 220 (SEQ ID NO: 303) evidences the presence of the following: a signal peptide from about amino acid 1 to about amino acid 19 and transmembrane domains from about amino acid 38 to about amino acid 57, from about amino acid 67 to about amino acid 83, from about amino acid 117 to about amino acid 139 and from about amino acid 153 to about amino acid 170.

     [4030] A consensus DNA sequence was assembled relative to other EST sequences using phrap as described in Example 1 above. This consensus sequence is designated herein as DNA35934. Based on the DNA35934 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO1132.  
     [4031] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:  
                              forward PCR primer:               5′-TCCTGTGACCACCCCTCTAACACC-3′ and   (SEQ ID NO:310)               reverse PCR primer:       5′-CTGGAACATCTGCTGCCCAGATTC-3′.   (SEQ ID NO:311)          
 
     [4032] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization probe was constructed from the consensus sequence which had the following nucleotide sequence:  
     [4033] 5′-GTCGGATGACAGCAGCAGCCGCATCATCAATGGATCCGACTGCGATATGC-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 312).  
     [4034] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO1132 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers. RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human fetal kidney.  
     [4035] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO1132 and the derived protein sequence for PRO1132.  
     [4036] The entire nucleotide sequence of PRO1132 is shown in FIG. 225 (SEQ ID NO: 308). Clone DNA59767-1489 contains a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 354-356 and a stop codon at nucleotide positions 1233-1235 (FIG. 225; SEQ ID NO: 308). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 293 amino acids long. The signal peptide is at about amino acids 1-22 and the histidine active site is at about amino acids 104-109 of SEQ ID NO: 309. Clone DNA59767-1489 has been deposited with ATCC having the actual sequence rather than representations based on sequencing techniques as presented herein) and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 203108. The full-length PRO1132 protein shown in FIG. 226 has an estimated molecular weight of about 32,020 daltons and a pI of about 8.7.  
     [4037] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35), using a WU-BLAST2 sequence alignment analysis of the full-length sequence shown in FIG. 226 (SEQ ID NO: 309), revealed sequence identity between the PRO1132 amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences: SSU76256 — 1, _W10694, MMAE000663 — 6, AF013988 — 1, U66061 — 8, MMAE000665 — 2, MMAE00066415, MMAE00066414, MMAE000665 — 4 and MMAE00066412.  
     EXAMPLE 100  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human NL7 (PRO1346)  
     [4038] A single EST sequence (#1398422) was found in the LIFESEQ® database as described in Example 1 above. This EST sequence was renamed as DNA45668. Based on the DNA45668 sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for NL7.  
     [4039] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:  
                              forward PCR primer:               5′-CACACGTCCAACCTCAATGGGCAG-3′   (SEQ ID NO:315)               reverse PCR primer:       5′-GACCAGCAGGGCCAAGGACAAGG-3′   (SEQ ID NO:316)          
 
     [4040] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization probe was constructed from the consensus DNA45668 sequence which had the following nucleotide sequence:  
     [4041] Hybridization Probe:  
     [4042] 5′-GTTCTCTGAGATGAAGATCCGGCCGGTCCGGGAGTACCGCTTAG-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 317)  
     [4043] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the NL7 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers. RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from a human fetal kidney library (LIB227).  
     [4044] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above gave the full-length DNA sequence for NL7 (designated herein as DNA59776-1600 [FIG. 227, SEQ ID NO: 313]) and the derived protein sequence for NL7 (PRO1346).  
     [4045] The entire coding sequence of NL7 (PRO1346) is shown in FIG. 227 (SEQ ID NO: 313). Clone DNA59776-1600 contains a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 1-3 and an apparent stop codon at nucleotide positions 1384-1386. The predicted polypeptide precursor is 461 amino acids long. The protein contains an apparent type II transmembrane domain at amino acid positions from about 31 to about 50; fibrinogen beta and gamma chains C-terminal domain signature starting at about amino acid position 409, and a leucine zipper pattern starting at about amino acid positions 140, 147, 154 and 161, respectively. Clone DNA59776-1600 has been deposited with ATCC and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 203128. The full-length NL7 protein shown in FIG. 228 has an estimated molecular weight of about 50,744 daltons and a pI of about 6.38.  
     [4046] Based on a WU-BLAST2 sequence alignment analysis (using the WU-BLAST2 computer program) of the full-length sequence, NL7 shows significant amino acid sequence identity to a human microfibril-associated glycoprotein (1 MFA4-HUMAN); to known TIE-2 ligands and ligand homologues, ficolin, serum lectin and TGF-1 binding protein.

A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO1131 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers.  
     [4054] A full length clone was identified that contained a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 144-146, and a stop signal at nucleotide positions 984-986 (FIG. 229; SEQ ID NO: 318). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 280 amino acids long, has a calculated molecular weight of approximately 31,966 daltons and an estimated pI of approximately 6.26. The transmembrane domain sequence is at about 49-74 of SEQ ID NO: 319 and the region having sequence identity with LDL receptors is about 50-265 of SEQ ID NO: 319. PRO1131 contains potential N-linked glycosylation sites at amino acid positions 95-98 and 169-172 of SEQ ID NO: 319.

     [4060] 5 ′-TGCACTGGTGACCACGAGGGGGTGCACTATAGCCATCTGGAGCTGAG-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 332).  
     [4061] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification with the PCR primer pairs identified above. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO1281 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers. RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated human fetal liver.  
     [4062] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO1281 (designated herein as DNA59820-1549 [FIG. 232, SEQ ID NO: 325]; and the derived protein sequence for PRO1281.  
     [4063] The entire coding sequence of PRO1281 is shown in FIG. 232 (SEQ ID NO: 325).

This cDNA sequence is herein designated DNA45288. The DNA45288 sequence was then compared to various EST databases including public EST databases (e.g., GenBank), and a proprietary EST database (LIFESEQ®, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) to identify homologous EST sequences. The comparison was performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 [Altschul et al.,  Methods in Enzymology,  266:460-480 (1996)].

This consensus sequence is herein designated DNA48609. Oligonucleotide primers based upon the DNA48609 sequence were then synthesized and employed to screen a human fetal kidney cDNA library which resulted in the identification of the DNA59827-1426 clone shown in FIG. 234. The cloning vector was pRK5B (pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site; see, Holmes et al.,  Science,  253:1278-1280 (1991)), and the cDNA size cut was less than 2800 bp.

Those comparisons resulting in a BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater that did not encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into a consensus DNA sequence with the program “phrap” (Phil Green, University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained therefrom is herein designated DNA57959.  
     [4125] In light of an observed sequence homology between the DNA57959 consensus sequence and an EST sequence encompassed within the Merck EST clone no. 685126, the Merck EST clone 685126 was purchased and the cDNA insert was obtained and sequenced. It was found that this insert encoded a full-length protein. The sequence of this cDNA insert is shown in FIG. 259 and is herein designated as DNA60283-1484.  
     [4126] The full length clone shown in FIG. 259 contained a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 126-128 and ending at the stop codon found at nucleotide positions 327-329 (FIG. 259; SEQ ID NO: 364). The predicted polypeptide precursor (FIG. 260, SEQ ID NO: 365) is 67 amino acids long including a signal peptide at about 1-29 of SEQ ID NO: 365. PRO1127 has a calculated molecular weight of approximately 7,528 daltons and an estimated pI of approximately 4.95. Clone DNA60283-1484 was deposited with the ATCC on Jul. 1, 1998 and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 203043. It is understood that the deposited clone has the actual sequence, whereas representations which may have minor sequencing errors are presented herein.

     EXAMPLE 123  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO1287  
     [4157] An expressed sequence tag (EST) DNA database (LIFESEQ®, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) was searched and an EST was identified which showed homology to the fringe protein. This EST sequence was then compared to various EST databases including public EST databases (e.g., GenBank), and a proprietary EST database (LIFESEQ®, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) to identify homologous EST sequences. The comparison was performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 [Altschul et al.,  Methods in Enzymology,  266:460-480 (1996)]. Those comparisons resulting in a BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases, 90) or greater that did not encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into a consensus DNA sequence with the program “phrap” (Phil Green, University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.). This consensus sequence obtained is herein designated DNA40568.  
     [4158] Based on the DNA40568 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO1287. Forward and reverse PCR primers generally range from 20 to 30 nucleotides and are often designed to give a PCR product of about 100-1000 bp in length. The probe sequences are typically 40-55 bp in length. In some cases, additional oligonucleotides are synthesized when the consensus sequence is greater than about 1-1.5 kbp. In order to screen several libraries for a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification, as per Ausubel et al.,  Current Protocols in Molecular Biology,  supra, with the PCR primer pair. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the gene of interest using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the primer pairs.  
     [4159] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:  
                              forward PCR primer               5′-CTCGGGGAAAGGGACTTGATGTTGG-3′   (SEQ ID NO:382)               reverse PCR primer 1       5′-GCGAAGGTGAGCCTCTATCTCGTGCC-3′   (SEQ ID NO:383)               reverse PCR primer 2       5′-CAGCCTACACGTATTGAGG-3′   (SEQ ID NO:384)          
 
     [4160] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization probe was constructed from the consensus DNA40568 sequence which had the following nucleotide sequence  
     [4161] hybridization probe  
     [4162] 5′-CAGTCAGTACAATCCTGGCATAATATACGGCCACCATGATGCAGTCCC-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 385).  
     [4163] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification with the PCR primer pairs identified above. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO1287 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers.  
     [4164] RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human bone marrow tissue. The cDNA libraries used to isolated the cDNA clones were constructed by standard methods using commercially available reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif. The cDNA was primed with oligo dT containing a NotI site, linked with blunt to SalI hemikinased adaptors, cleaved with NotI, sized appropriately by gel electrophoresis, and cloned in a defined orientation into a suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or pRKD; pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site; see, Holmes et al.,  Science,  253:1278-1280 (1991)) in the unique XhoI and NotI sites.  
     [4165] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO1287 (designated herein as DNA61755-1554 [FIG. 275, SEQ ID NO: 380]) and the derived protein sequence for PRO1287.  
     [4166] The entire nucleotide sequence of DNA61755-1554 is shown in FIG. 275 (SEQ ID NO: 380). The full length clone contained a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 655-657 and a stop signal at nucleotide positions 2251-2253 (FIG. 275, SEQ ID NO: 380). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 532 amino acids long, has a calculated molecular weight of approximately 61,351 daltons and an estimated pI of approximately 8.77. Analysis of the full-length PRO1287 sequence shown in FIG. 276 (SEQ ID NO: 381) evidences the presence of the following: a signal peptide from about amino acid 1 to about amino acid 27 and potential N-glycosylation sites from about amino acid 315 to about amino acid 318 and from about amino acid 324 to about amino acid 327. Clone DNA61755-1554 has been deposited with ATCC on Aug. 11, 1998 and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 203112.  
     [4167] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35), using a WU-BLAST2 sequence alignment analysis of the full-length sequence shown in FIG. 276 (SEQ ID NO: 381), evidenced significant homology between the PRO1287 amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences: CET24D1 — 1, EZRI_BOVIN, GGU19889 — 1, CC3_YEAST, S74244, NALS_MOUSE, MOES_PIG, S28660, S44860 and YNA4_CAEEL.

     [4172] A consensus DNA sequence was assembled relative to other EST sequences using phrap as described in Example 1 above. This consensus sequence is designated herein DNA35924. Based on the DNA35924 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO1192.  
     [4173] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:  
                              forward PCR primer:               5′-CCGAGGCCATCTAGAGGCCAGAGC-3′   (SEQ ID NO:390)               reverse PCR primer:       5′-ACAGGCAGAGCCAATGGCCAGAGC-3′.   (SEQ ID NO:391)

     [4191] Use of the signal sequence algorithm described in Example 3 above allowed identification of a single EST cluster sequence from the Incyte database. This EST cluster sequence was then compared to a variety of expressed sequence tag (EST) databases which included public EST databases (e.g., GenBank) and a proprietary EST DNA database (LIFESEQ®, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) to identify existing homologies.

     [4224] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35), using a WU-BLAST2 sequence alignment analysis of the full-length sequence shown in FIG. 296 (SEQ ID NO: 414), evidenced significant homology between the PRO1270 amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences: XLU86699 — 1, S49589, FIBA_PARPA, FIBB_HUMAN, P_R47189, AF004326 — 1, DRTENASCN — 1, AF004327 — 1, P_W01411 and FIBG_BOVIN.

     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO1271  
     [4225] Use of the signal sequence algorithm described in Example 3 above allowed identification of a single EST cluster sequence from the Incyte database. This EST cluster sequence was then compared to a variety of expressed sequence tag (EST) databases which included public EST databases (e.g., GenBank) and a proprietary EST DNA database (LIFESEQ®, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) to identify existing homologies. The homology search was performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et al.,  Methods in Enzymology  266:460-480 (1996)). Those comparisons resulting in a BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater that did not encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into a consensus DNA sequence with the program “phrap” (Phil Green, University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained therefrom is herein designated DNA57955.  
     [4226] In light of an observed sequence homology between the DNA57955 consensus sequence and an EST sequence encompassed within the Merck EST clone no. AA625350, the Merck EST clone AA625350 was purchased and the cDNA insert was obtained and sequenced. It was found that this insert encoded a full-length protein. The sequence of this cDNA insert is shown in FIG. 297 and is herein designated as DNA66309-1538.  
     [4227] Clone DNA66309-1538 contains a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 94-96 and ending at the stop codon at nucleotide positions 718-720 (FIG. 297).

     [4229] A Merck/Wash. U. database was searched and a Merck EST was identified. This sequence was then put in a program which aligns it with other seequences from the Swiss-Prot public database, public EST databases (e.g., GenBank, Merck/Wash. U.), and a proprietary EST database (LIFESEQ®, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.). The search was performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 [Altschul et al.,  Methods in Enzymology,  266:460-480 (1996)] as a comparison of the extracellular domain (ECD) protein sequences to a 6 frame translation of the EST sequences. Those comparisons resulting in a BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases, 90) or greater that did not encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into consensus DNA sequences with the program “phrap” (Phil Green, University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.).  
     [4230] A consensus DNA sequence was assembled relative to other EST sequences using phrap. This consensus sequence is designated herein “DNA67003”.

     EXAMPLE 138  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO1384  
     [4242] A consensus DNA sequence was assembled relative to other EST sequences using phrap as described in Example 1 above. This consensus sequence is herein designated DNA54192. Based on the DNA54192 sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO1384.  
     [4243] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:  
                              forward PCR primer               5′-TGCAGCCCCTGTGACACAAACTGG-3′   (SEQ ID NO:425)               reverse PCR primer       5′-CTGAGATAACCGAGCCATCCTCCCAC-3′   (SEQ ID NO:426)          
 
     [4244] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization probe was constructed from the DNA54192 sequence which had the following nucleotide sequence:

     [4246] 5′-GGAGATAGCTGCTATGGGTTCTTCAGGCACAACTTAACATGGGAAG-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 427)  
     [4247] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO1384 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers. RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human fetal liver.  
     [4248] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO1384 (designated herein as DNA71159-1617 [FIG. 305, SEQ ID NO: 423]; and the derived protein sequence for PRO1384.  
     [4249] The entire coding sequence of PRO1384 is shown in FIG. 305 (SEQ ID NO: 423). Clone DNA71159-1617 contains a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 182-184 and an apparent stop codon at nucleotide positions 869-871. The predicted polypeptide precursor is 229 amino acids long. The full-length PRO1384 protein shown in FIG. 306 has an estimated molecular weight of about 26,650 daltons and a pI of about 8.76. Additional features include a type II transmembrane domain at about amino acids 32-57, and potential N-glycosylation sites at about amino acids 68-71, 120-123, and 134-137.  
     [4250] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35), using a WU-BLAST2 sequence alignment analysis of the full-length sequence shown in FIG. 306 (SEQ ID NO: 424), revealed homology between the PRO1384 amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences: AF054819 — 1, HSAJ1687 — 1, AF009511 — 1, AB010710 — 1, GEN13595, HSAJ673 — 1, GEN13961, AB005900 — 1, LECH_CHICK, AF021349 — 1, and NK13 —RAT.

     EXAMPLE 139  
     Use of PRO as a Hybridization Probe  
     [4252] The following method describes use of a nucleotide sequence encoding PRO as a hybridization probe.  
     [4253] DNA comprising the coding sequence of full-length or mature PRO as disclosed herein is employed as a probe to screen for homologous DNAs (such as those encoding naturally-occurring variants of PRO) in human tissue cDNA libraries or human tissue genomic libraries.  
     [4254] Hybridization and washing of filters containing either library DNAs is performed under the following high stringency conditions. Hybridization of radiolabeled PRO-derived probe to the filters is performed in a solution of 50% formamide, 5×SSC, 0.1% SDS, 0.1% sodium pyrophosphate, 50 M sodium phosphate, pH 6.8, 2×Denhardt&#39;s solution, and 10% dextran sulfate at 42° C. for 20 hours. Washing of the filters is performed in an aqueous solution of 0.1×SSC and 0.1 % SDS at 42° C.  
     [4255] DNAs having a desired sequence identity with the DNA encoding full-length native sequence PRO can then be identified using standard techniques known in the art.  
     EXAMPLE 140  
     Expression of PRO in  E. coli    
     [4256] This example illustrates preparation of an unglycosylated form of PRO by recombinant expression in  E. coli.    
     [4257] The DNA sequence encoding PRO is initially amplified using selected PCR primers. The primers should contain restriction enzyme sites which correspond to the restriction enzyme sites on the selected expression vector. A variety of expression vectors may be employed. An example of a suitable vector is pBR322 (derived from  E. coli;  see Bolivar et al.,  Gene,  2:95 (1977)) which contains genes for ampicillin and tetracycline resistance. The vector is digested with restriction enzyme and dephosphorylated. The PCR amplified sequences are then ligated into the vector. The vector will preferably include sequences which encode for an antibiotic resistance gene, a trp promoter, a polyhis leader (including the first six STII codons, polyhis sequence, and enterokinase cleavage site), the PRO coding region, lambda transcriptional terminator, and an argU gene.  
     [4258] The ligation mixture is then used to transform a selected  E. coli  strain using the methods described in Sambrook et al., supra. Transformants are identified by their ability to grow on LB plates and antibiotic resistant colonies are then selected. Plasmid DNA can be isolated and confirmed by restriction analysis and DNA sequencing.  
     [4259] Selected clones can be grown overnight in liquid culture medium such as LB broth supplemented with antibiotics. The overnight culture may subsequently be used to inoculate a larger scale culture. The cells are then grown to a desired optical density, during which the expression promoter is turned on.  
     [4260] After culturing the cells for several more hours, the cells can be harvested by centrifugation. The cell pellet obtained by the centrifugation can be solubilized using various agents known in the art, and the solubilized PRO protein can then be purified using a metal chelating column under conditions that allow tight binding of the protein.  
     [4261] PRO may be expressed in  E. coli  in a poly-His tagged form, using the following procedure. The DNA encoding PRO is initially amplified using selected PCR primers. The primers will contain restriction enzyme sites which correspond to the restriction enzyme sites on the selected expression vector, and other useful sequences providing for efficient and reliable translation initiation, rapid purification on a metal chelation column, and proteolytic removal with enterokinase. The PCR-amplified, poly-His tagged sequences are then ligated into an expression vector, which is used to transform an  E. coli  host based on strain 52 (W3110 fuhA(tonA) lon galE rpoHts(htpRts) clpP(lacIq). Transformants are first grown in LB containing 50 mg/ml carbenicillin at 30° C. with shaking until an O.D.600 of 3-5 is reached. Cultures are then diluted 50-100 fold into CRAP media (prepared by mixing 3.57 g (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 , 0.71 g sodium citrate·2H 2 O, 1.07 g KCl, 5.36 g Difco yeast extract, 5.36 g Sheffield hycase SF in 500 mL water, as well as 110 mM MPOS, pH 7.3, 0.55% (w/v) glucose and 7 mM MgSO 4 ) and grown for approximately 20-30 hours at 30° C. with shaking. Samples are removed to verify expression by SDS-PAGE analysis, and the bulk culture is centrifuged to pellet the cells. Cell pellets are frozen until purification and refolding.  
     [4262] E. coli  paste from 0.5 to 1 L fermentations (6-10 g pellets) is resuspended in 10 volumes (w/v) in 7 M guanidine, 20 mM Tris, pH 8 buffer. Solid sodium sulfite and sodium tetrathionate is added to make final concentrations of 0.1M and 0.02 M, respectively, and the solution is stirred overnight at 4° C. This step results in a denatured protein with all cysteine residues blocked by sulfitolization. The solution is centrifuged at 40,000 rpm in a Beckman Ultracentifuge for 30 min. The supernatant is diluted with 3-5 volumes of metal chelate column buffer (6 M guanidine, 20 mM Tris, pH 7.4) and filtered through 0.22 micron filters to clarify. The clarified extract is loaded onto a 5 ml Qiagen Ni-NTA metal chelate column equilibrated in the metal chelate column buffer. The column is washed with additional buffer containing 50 mM imidazole (Calbiochem, Utrol grade), pH 7.4. The protein is eluted with buffer containing 250 mM imidazole. Fractions containing the desired protein are pooled and stored at 4° C. Protein concentration is estimated by its absorbance at 280 nm using the calculated extinction coefficient based on its amino acid sequence.  
     [4263] The proteins are refolded by diluting the sample slowly into freshly prepared refolding buffer consisting of: 20 mM Tris, pH 8.6, 0.3 M NaCl, 2.5 M urea, 5 mM cysteine, 20 mM glycine and 1 mM EDTA. Refolding volumes are chosen so that the final protein concentration is between 50 to 100 micrograms/ml. The refolding solution is stirred gently at 4° C. for 12-36 hours. The refolding reaction is quenched by the addition of TFA to a final concentration of 0.4% (pH of approximately 3). Before further purification of the protein, the solution is filtered through a 0.22 micron filter and acetonitrile is added to 2-10% final concentration. The refolded protein is chromatographed on a Poros R1/H reversed phase column using a mobile buffer of 0.1% TFA with elution with a gradient of acetonitrile from 10 to 80%. Aliquots of fractions with A280 absorbance are analyzed on SDS polyacrylamide gels and fractions containing homogeneous refolded protein are pooled. Generally, the properly refolded species of most proteins are eluted at the lowest concentrations of acetonitrile since those species are the most compact with their hydrophobic interiors shielded from interaction with the reversed phase resin. Aggregated species are usually eluted at higher acetonitrile concentrations. In addition to resolving misfolded forms of proteins from the desired form, the reversed phase step also removes endotoxin from the samples.  
     [4264] Fractions containing the desired folded PRO polypeptide are pooled and the acetonitrile removed using a gentle stream of nitrogen directed at the solution. Proteins are formulated into 20 mM Hepes, pH 6.8 with 0.14 M sodium chloride and 4% mannitol by dialysis or by gel filtration using G25 Superfine (Pharmacia) resins equilibrated in the formulation buffer and sterile filtered.  
     [4265] Many of the PRO polypeptides disclosed herein were successfully expressed as described above.  
     EXAMPLE 141  
     Expression of PRO in Mammalian Cells  
     [4266] This example illustrates preparation of a potentially glycosylated form of PRO by recombinant expression in mammalian cells.  
     [4267] The vector, pRK5 (see EP 307,247, published Mar. 15, 1989), is employed as the expression vector. Optionally, the PRO DNA is ligated into pRK5 with selected restriction enzymes to allow insertion of the PRO DNA using ligation methods such as described in Sambrook et al., supra. The resulting vector is called pRK5-PRO.  
     [4268] In one embodiment, the selected host cells may be 293 cells. Human 293 cells (ATCC CCL 1573) are grown to confluence in tissue culture plates in medium such as DMEM supplemented with fetal calf serum and optionally, nutrient components and/or antibiotics. About 10 μg pRK5-PRO DNA is mixed with about 1 μg DNA encoding the VA RNA gene [Thimmappaya et al.,  Cell,  31:543 (1982)] and dissolved in 500 μl of 1 mM Tris-HCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, 0.227 M CaCl 2 . To this mixture is added, dropwise, 500 μl of 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.35), 280 mM NaCl, 1.5 mM NaPO 4 , and a precipitate is allowed to form for 10 minutes at 25° C. The precipitate is suspended and added to the 293 cells and allowed to settle for about four hours at 37° C. The culture medium is aspirated off and 2 ml of 20% glycerol in PBS is added for 30 seconds. The 293 cells are then washed with serum free medium, fresh medium is added and the cells are incubated for about 5 days.  
     [4269] Approximately 24 hours after the transfections, the culture medium is removed and replaced with culture medium (alone) or culture medium containing 200 μCi/ml  35 S-cysteine and 200 μCi/ml  35 S-methionine. After a 12 hour incubation, the conditioned medium is collected, concentrated on a spin filter, and loaded onto a 15% SDS gel. The processed gel may be dried and exposed to film for a selected period of time to reveal the presence of PRO polypeptide. The cultures containing transfected cells may undergo further incubation (in serum free medium) and the medium is tested in selected bioassays.  
     [4270] In an alternative technique, PRO may be introduced into 293 cells transiently using the dextran sulfate method described by Somparyrac et al.,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.,  12:7575 (1981). 293 cells are grown to maximal density in a spinner flask and 700 μg pRK5-PRO DNA is added. The cells are first concentrated from the spinner flask by centrifugation and washed with PBS. The DNA-dextran precipitate is incubated on the cell pellet for four hours. The cells are treated with 20% glycerol for 90 seconds, washed with tissue culture medium, and re-introduced into the spinner flask containing tissue culture medium, 5 μg/ml bovine insulin and 0.1 μg/ml bovine transferrin. After about four days, the conditioned media is centrifuged and filtered to remove cells and debris. The sample containing expressed PRO can then be concentrated and purified by any selected method, such as dialysis and/or column chromatography.  
     [4271] In another embodiment, PRO can be expressed in CHO cells. The pRK5-PRO can be transfected into CHO cells using known reagents such as CaPO 4  or DEAE-dextran. As described above, the cell cultures can be incubated, and the medium replaced with culture medium (alone) or medium containing a radiolabel such as  35 S-methionine. After determining the presence of PRO polypeptide, the culture medium may be replaced with serum free medium. Preferably, the cultures are incubated for about 6 days, and then the conditioned medium is harvested. The medium containing the expressed PRO can then be concentrated and purified by any selected method.  
     [4272] Epitope-tagged PRO may also be expressed in host CHO cells. The PRO may be subcloned out of the pRK5 vector. The subclone insert can undergo PCR to fuse in frame with a selected epitope tag such as a poly-his tag into a Baculovirus expression vector. The poly-his tagged PRO insert can then be subcloned into a SV40 driven vector containing a selection marker such as DHFR for selection of stable clones. Finally, the CHO cells can be transfected (as described above) with the SV40 driven vector. Labeling may be performed, as described above, to verify expression. The culture medium containing the expressed poly-His tagged PRO can then be concentrated and purified by any selected method, such as by Ni 2+ -chelate affinity chromatography.  
     [4273] PRO may also be expressed in CHO and/or COS cells by a transient expression procedure or in CHO cells by another stable expression procedure.  
     [4274] Stable expression in CHO cells is performed using the following procedure. The proteins are expressed as an IgG construct (immunoadhesin), in which the coding sequences for the soluble forms (e.g. extracellular domains) of the respective proteins are fused to an IgG1 constant region sequence containing the hinge, CH2 and CH2 domains and/or is a poly-His tagged form.  
     [4275] Following PCR amplification, the respective DNAs are subcloned in a CHO expression vector using standard techniques as described in Ausubel et al.,  Current Protocols of Molecular Biology,  Unit 3.16, John Wiley and Sons (1997). CHO expression vectors are constructed to have compatible restriction sites 5′ and 3′ of the DNA of interest to allow the convenient shuttling of cDNA&#39;s. The vector used expression in CHO cells is as described in Lucas et al.,  Nucl. Acids Res.  24:9 (1774-1779 (1996), and uses the SV40 early promoter/enhancer to drive expression of the cDNA of interest and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). DHFR expression permits selection for stable maintenance of the plasmid following transfection.  
     [4276] Twelve micrograms of the desired plasmid DNA is introduced into approximately 10 million CHO cells using commercially available transfection reagents Superfect® (Quiagen), Dosper® or Fugene® (Boehringer Mannheim). The cells are grown as described in Lucas et al., supra. Approximately 3×10 −7  cells are frozen in an ampule for further growth and production as described below.  
     [4277] The ampules containing the plasmid DNA are thawed by placement into water bath and mixed by vortexing. The contents are pipetted into a centrifuge tube containing 10 mLs of media and centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes. The supernatant is aspirated and the cells are resuspended in 10 mL of selective media (0.2 μm filtered PS20 with 5% 0.2 μm diafiltered fetal bovine serum). The cells are then aliquoted into a 100 mL spinner containing 90 mL of selective media. After 1-2 days, the cells are transferred into a 250 mL spinner filled with 150 mL selective growth medium and incubated at 37° C. After another 2-3 days, 250 mL, 500 mL and 2000 mL spinners are seeded with 3×10 5  cells/mL. The cell media is exchanged with fresh media by centrifugation and resuspension in production medium. Although any suitable CHO media may be employed, a production medium described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,122,469, issued Jun. 16, 1992 may actually be used. A 3L production spinner is seeded at 1.2×10 6  cells/mL. On day 0, the cell number pH ie determined. On day 1, the spinner is sampled and sparging with filtered air is commenced. On day 2, the spinner is sampled, the temperature shifted to 33° C., and 30 mL of 500 g/L glucose and 0.6 mL of 10% antifoam (e.g., 35% polydimethylsiloxane emulsion, Dow Corning 365 Medical Grade Emulsion) taken. Throughout the production, the pH is adjusted as necessary to keep it at around 7.2. After 10 days, or until the viability dropped below 70%, the cell culture is harvested by centrifugation and filtering through a 0.22 μm filter. The filtrate was either stored at 4° C. or immediately loaded onto columns for purification.  
     [4278] For the poly-His tagged constructs, the proteins are purified using a Ni-NTA column (Qiagen). Before purification, imidazole is added to the conditioned media to a concentration of 5 mM. The conditioned media is pumped onto a 6 ml Ni-NTA column equilibrated in 20 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, buffer containing 0.3 M NaCl and 5 mM imidazole at a flow rate of 4-5 ml/min. at 4° C. After loading, the column is washed with additional equilibration buffer and the protein eluted with equilibration buffer containing 0.25 M imidazole. The highly purified protein is subsequently desalted into a storage buffer containing 10 mM Hepes, 0.14 M NaCl and 4% mannitol, pH 6.8, with a 25 ml G25 Superfine (Pharmacia) column and stored at −80° C.  
     [4279] Immunoadhesin (Fc-containing) constructs are purified from the conditioned media as follows. The conditioned medium is pumped onto a 5 ml Protein A column (Pharmacia) which had been equilibrated in 20 mM Na phosphate buffer, pH 6.8. After loading, the column is washed extensively with equilibration buffer before elution with 100 mM citric acid, pH 3.5. The eluted protein is immediately neutralized by collecting 1 ml fractions into tubes containing 275 μL of 1 M Tris buffer, pH 9. The highly purified protein is subsequently desalted into storage buffer as described above for the poly-His tagged proteins. The homogeneity is assessed by SDS polyacrylamide gels and by N-terminal amino acid sequencing by Edman degradation.  
     [4280] Many of the PRO polypeptides disclosed herein were successfully expressed as described above.  
     EXAMPLE 142  
     Expression of PRO in Yeast  
     [4281] The following method describes recombinant expression of PRO in yeast.  
     [4282] First, yeast expression vectors are constructed for intracellular production or secretion of PRO from the ADH2/GAPDH promoter. DNA encoding PRO and the promoter is inserted into suitable restriction enzyme sites in the selected plasmid to direct intracellular expression of PRO. For secretion, DNA encoding PRO can be cloned into the selected plasmid, together with DNA encoding the ADH2/GAPDH promoter, a native PRO signal peptide or other mammalian signal peptide, or, for example, a yeast alpha-factor or invertase secretory signal/leader sequence, and linker sequences (if needed) for expression of PRO.  
     [4283] Yeast cells, such as yeast strain AB110, can then be transformed with the expression plasmids described above and cultured in selected fermentation media. The transformed yeast supernatants can be analyzed by precipitation with 10% trichloroacetic acid and separation by SDS-PAGE, followed by staining of the gels with Coomassie Blue stain.  
     [4284] Recombinant PRO can subsequently be isolated and purified by removing the yeast cells from the fermentation medium by centrifugation and then concentrating the medium using selected cartridge filters. The concentrate containing PRO may further be purified using selected column chromatography resins.  
     [4285] Many of the PRO polypeptides disclosed herein were successfully expressed as described above.  
     EXAMPLE 143  
     Expression of PRO in Baculovirus-Infected Insect Cells  
     [4286] The following method describes recombinant expression of PRO in Baculovirus-infected insect cells.  
     [4287] The sequence coding for PRO is fused upstream of an epitope tag contained within a baculovirus expression vector. Such epitope tags include poly-his tags and immunoglobulin tags (like Fc regions of IgG). A variety of plasmids may be employed, including plasmids derived from commercially available plasmids such as pVL1393 (Novagen). Briefly, the sequence encoding PRO or the desired portion of the coding sequence of PRO such as the sequence encoding the extracellular domain of a transmembrane protein or the sequence encoding the mature protein if the protein is extracellular is amplified by PCR with primers complementary to the 5′ and 3′ regions. The 5′ primer may incorporate flanking (selected) restriction enzyme sites. The product is then digested with those selected restriction enzymes and subcloned into the expression vector.  
     [4288] Recombinant baculovirus is generated by co-transfecting the above plasmid and BaculoGold™ virus DNA (Pharmingen) into  Spodoptera frugiperda  (“Sf9”) cells (ATCC CRL 1711) using lipofectin (commercially available from GIBCO-BRL). After 4-5 days of incubation at 28° C., the released viruses are harvested and used for further amplifications. Viral infection and protein expression are performed as described by O&#39;Reilley et al.,  Baculovirus expression vectors: A Laboratory Manual,  Oxford: Oxford University Press (1994).  
     [4289] Expressed poly-his tagged PRO can then be purified, for example, by Ni 2+ -chelate affinity chromatography as follows. Extracts are prepared from recombinant virus-infected Sf9 cells as described by Rupert et al.,  Nature,  362:175-179 (1993). Briefly, Sf9 cells are washed, resuspended in sonication buffer (25 mL Hepes, pH 7.9; 12.5 mM MgCl 2 ; 0.1 mM EDTA; 10% glycerol; 0.1 % NP-40; 0.4 M KCl), and sonicated twice for 20 seconds on ice. The sonicates are cleared by centrifugation, and the supernatant is diluted 50-fold in loading buffer (50 mM phosphate, 300 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, pH 7.8) and filtered through a 0.45 μm filter. A Ni 2+ -NTA agarose column (commercially available from Qiagen) is prepared with a bed volume of 5 mL, washed with 25 mL of water and equilibrated with 25 mL of loading buffer. The filtered cell extract is loaded onto the column at 0.5 mL per minute. The column is washed to baseline A 280  with loading buffer, at which point fraction collection is started. Next, the column is washed with a secondary wash buffer (50 mM phosphate; 300 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, pH 6.0), which elutes nonspecifically bound protein. After reaching A 280  baseline again, the column is developed with a 0 to 500 mM Imidazole gradient in the secondary wash buffer. One mL fractions are collected and analyzed by SDS-PAGE and silver staining or Western blot with Ni 2+ -NTA-conjugated to alkaline phosphatase (Qiagen). Fractions containing the eluted His 10 -tagged PRO are pooled and dialyzed against loading buffer.  
     [4290] Alternatively, purification of the IgG tagged (or Fe tagged) PRO can be performed using known chromatography techniques, including for instance, Protein A or protein G column chromatography.  
     [4291] Many of the PRO polypeptides disclosed herein were successfully expressed as described above.  
     EXAMPLE 144  
     Preparation of Antibodies that Bind PRO  
     [4292] This example illustrates preparation of monoclonal antibodies which can specifically bind PRO.  
     [4293] Techniques for producing the monoclonal antibodies are known in the art and are described, for instance, in Goding, supra. Immunogens that may be employed include purified PRO, fusion proteins containing PRO, and cells expressing recombinant PRO on the cell surface. Selection of the immunogen can be made by the skilled artisan without undue experimentation.  
     [4294] Mice, such as Balb/c, are immunized with the PRO immunogen emulsified in complete Freund&#39;s adjuvant and injected subcutaneously or intraperitoneally in an amount from 1-100 micrograms. Alternatively, the immunogen is emulsified in MPL-TDM adjuvant (Ribi Immunochemical Research, Hamilton, Mont.) and injected into the animal&#39;s hind foot pads. The immunized mice are then boosted 10 to 12 days later with additional immunogen emulsified in the selected adjuvant. Thereafter, for several weeks, the mice may also be boosted with additional immunization injections. Serum samples may be periodically obtained from the mice by retro-orbital bleeding for testing in ELISA assays to detect anti-PRO antibodies.  
     [4295] After a suitable antibody titer has been detected, the animals “positive” for antibodies can be injected with a final intravenous injection of PRO. Three to four days later, the mice are sacrificed and the spleen cells are harvested. The spleen cells are then fused (using 35% polyethylene glycol) to a selected murine myeloma cell line such as P3X63AgU.1, available from ATCC, No. CRL 1597. The fusions generate hybridoma cells which can then be plated in 96 well tissue culture plates containing HAT (hypoxanthine, aminopterin, and thymidine) medium to inhibit proliferation of non-fused cells, myeloma hybrids, and spleen cell hybrids.  
     [4296] The hybridoma cells will be screened in an ELISA for reactivity against PRO. Determination of “positive” hybridoma cells secreting the desired monoclonal antibodies against PRO is within the skill in the art.  
     [4297] The positive hybridoma cells can be injected intraperitoneally into syngeneic Balb/c mice to produce ascites containing the anti-PRO monoclonal antibodies. Alternatively, the hybridoma cells can be grown in tissue culture flasks or roller bottles. Purification of the monoclonal antibodies produced in the ascites can be accomplished using ammonium sulfate precipitation, followed by gel exclusion chromatography. Alternatively, affinity chromatography based upon binding of antibody to protein A or protein G can be employed.  
     EXAMPLE 145  
     Purification of PRO Polypeptides Using Specific Antibodies  
     [4298] Native or recombinant PRO polypeptides may be purified by a variety of standard techniques in the art of protein purification. For example, pro-PRO polypeptide, mature PRO polypeptide, or pre-PRO polypeptide is purified by immunoaffinity chromatography using antibodies specific for the PRO polypeptide of interest. In general, an immunoaffinity column is constructed by covalently coupling the anti-PRO polypeptide antibody to an activated chromatographic resin.  
     [4299] Polyclonal immunoglobulins are prepared from immune sera either by precipitation with ammonium sulfate or by purification on immobilized Protein A (Pharmacia LKB Biotechnology, Piscataway, N.J.). Likewise, monoclonal antibodies are prepared from mouse ascites fluid by ammonium sulfate precipitation or chromatography on immobilized Protein A. Partially purified immunoglobulin is covalently attached to a chromatographic resin such as CnBr-activated SEPHAROSE™ (Pharmacia LKB Biotechnology). The antibody is coupled to the resin, the resin is blocked, and the derivative resin is washed according to the manufacturer&#39;s instructions.  
     [4300] Such an immunoaffinity column is utilized in the purification of PRO polypeptide by preparing a fraction from cells containing PRO polypeptide in a soluble form. This preparation is derived by solubilization of the whole cell or of a subcellular fraction obtained via differential centrifugation by the addition of detergent or by other methods well known in the art. Alternatively, soluble PRO polypeptide containing a signal sequence may be secreted in useful quantity into the medium in which the cells are grown.  
     [4301] A soluble PRO polypeptide-containing preparation is passed over the immunoaffinity column, and the column is washed under conditions that allow the preferential absorbance of PRO polypeptide (e.g., high ionic strength buffers in the presence of detergent). Then, the column is eluted under conditions that disrupt antibody/PRO polypeptide binding (e.g., a low pH buffer such as approximately pH 2-3, or a high concentration of a chaotrope such as urea or thiocyanate ion), and PRO polypeptide is collected.  
     EXAMPLE 146  
     Drug Screening  
     [4302] This invention is particularly useful for screening compounds by using PRO polypeptides or binding fragment thereof in any of a variety of drug screening techniques. The PRO polypeptide or fragment employed in such a test may either be free in solution, affixed to a solid support, borne on a cell surface, or located intracellularly. One method of drug screening utilizes eukaryotic or prokaryotic host cells which are stably transformed with recombinant nucleic acids expressing the PRO polypeptide or fragment. Drugs are screened against such transformed cells in competitive binding assays. Such cells, either in viable or fixed form, can be used for standard binding assays. One may measure, for example, the formation of complexes between PRO polypeptide or a fragment and the agent being tested. Alternatively, one can examine the diminution in complex formation between the PRO polypeptide and its target cell or target receptors caused by the agent being tested.  
     [4303] Thus, the present invention provides methods of screening for drugs or any other agents which can affect a PRO polypeptide-associated disease or disorder. These methods comprise contacting such an agent with an PRO polypeptide or fragment thereof and assaying (1) for the presence of a complex between the agent and the PRO polypeptide or fragment, or (ii) for the presence of a complex between the PRO polypeptide or fragment and the cell, by methods well known in the art. In such competitive binding assays, the PRO polypeptide or fragment is typically labeled. After suitable incubation, free PRO polypeptide or fragment is separated from that present in bound form, and the amount of free or uncomplexed label is a measure of the ability of the particular agent to bind to PRO polypeptide or to interfere with the PRO polypeptide/cell complex.  
     [4304] Another technique for drug screening provides high throughput screening for compounds having suitable binding affinity to a polypeptide and is described in detail in WO 84/03564, published on Sep. 13, 1984. Briefly stated, large numbers of different small peptide test compounds are synthesized on a solid substrate, such as plastic pins or some other surface. As applied to a PRO polypeptide, the peptide test compounds are reacted with PRO polypeptide and washed. Bound PRO polypeptide is detected by methods well known in the art. Purified PRO polypeptide can also be coated directly onto plates for use in the aforementioned drug screening techniques. In addition, non-neutralizing antibodies can be used to capture the peptide and immobilize it on the solid support.  
     [4305] This invention also contemplates the use of competitive drug screening assays in which neutralizing antibodies capable of binding PRO polypeptide specifically compete with a test compound for binding to PRO polypeptide or fragments thereof. In this manner, the antibodies can be used to detect the presence of any peptide which shares one or more antigenic determinants with PRO polypeptide.  
     EXAMPLE 147  
     Rational Drug Design  
     [4306] The goal of rational drug design is to produce structural analogs of biologically active polypeptide of interest (i.e., a PRO polypeptide) or of small molecules with which they interact, e.g., agonists, antagonists, or inhibitors. Any of these examples can be used to fashion drugs which are more active or stable forms of the PRO polypeptide or which enhance or interfere with the function of the PRO polypeptide in vivo (c.f., Hodgson,  Bio/Technology,  9: 19-21 (1991)).  
     [4307] In one approach, the three-dimensional structure of the PRO polypeptide, or of an PRO polypeptide-inhibitor complex, is determined by x-ray crystallography, by computer modeling or, most typically, by a combination of the two approaches. Both the shape and charges of the PRO polypeptide must be ascertained to elucidate the structure and to determine active site(s) of the molecule. Less often, useful information regarding the structure of the PRO polypeptide may be gained by modeling based on the structure of homologous proteins. In both cases, relevant structural information is used to design analogous PRO polypeptide-like molecules or to identify efficient inhibitors. Useful examples of rational drug design may include molecules which have improved activity or stability as shown by Braxton and Wells,  Biochemistry,  31:7796-7801 (1992) or which act as inhibitors, agonists, or antagonists of native peptides as shown by Athauda et al.,  J. Biochem.,  113:742-746 (1993).  
     [4308] It is also possible to isolate a target-specific antibody, selected by functional assay, as described above, and then to solve its crystal structure. This approach, in principle, yields a pharmacore upon which subsequent drug design can be based. It is possible to bypass protein crystallography altogether by generating anti-idiotypic antibodies (anti-ids) to a functional, pharmacologically active antibody. As a mirror image of a mirror image, the binding site of the anti-ids would be expected to be an analog of the original receptor. The anti-id could then be used to identify and isolate peptides from banks of chemically or biologically produced peptides. The isolated peptides would then act as the pharmacore.  
     [4309] By virtue of the present invention, sufficient amounts of the PRO polypeptide may be made available to perform such analytical studies as X-ray crystallography. In addition, knowledge of the PRO polypeptide amino acid sequence provided herein will provide guidance to those employing computer modeling techniques in place of or in addition to x-ray crystallography.  
     EXAMPLE 148  
     Stimulation of Heart Neonatal Hypertrophy (Assay 1)  
     [4310] This assay is designed to measure the ability of PRO polypeptides to stimulate hypertrophy of neonatal heart. PRO polypeptides testing positive in this assay are expected to be useful for the therapeutic treatment of various cardiac insufficiency disorders.  
     [4311] Cardiac myocytes from 1-day old Harlan Sprague Dawley rats were obtained. Cells (180 μl at 7.5×10 4 /ml, serum &lt;0.1%, freshly isolated) are added on day 1 to 96-well plates previously coated with DMEM/F12+4% FCS. Test samples containing the test PRO polypeptide or growth medium only (hegative control) (20 μl/well) are added directly to the wells on day 1. PGF (20 μl/well) is then added on day 2 at final concentration of 10 −6  M. The cells are then stained on day 4 and visually scored on day 5, wherein cells showing no increase in size as compared to negative controls are scored 0.0, cells showing a small to moderate increase in size as compared to negative controls are scored 1.0 and cells showing a large increase in size as compared to negative controls are scored 2.0. A positive result in the assay is a score of 1.0 or greater.  
     [4312] The following polypeptides tested positive in this assay: PRO1312.  
     EXAMPLE 149  
     Stimulation of Endothelial Cell Proliferation (Assay 8)  
     [4313] This assay is designed to determine whether PRO polypeptides of the present invention show the ability to stimulate adrenal cortical capillary endothelial cell (ACE) growth. PRO polypeptides testing positive in this assay would be expected to be useful for the therapeutic treatment of conditions or disorders where angiogenesis would be beneficial including, for example, wound healing, and the like (as would agonists of these PRO polypeptides). Antagonists of the PRO polypeptides testing positive in this assay would be expected to be useful for the therapeutic treatment of cancerous tumors.  
     [4314] Bovine adrenal cortical capillary endothelial (ACE) cells (from primary culture, maximum of 12-14 passages) were plated in 96-well plates at 500 cells/well per 100 microliter. Assay media included low glucose DMEM, 10% calf serum, 2 mM glutamine, and 1×penicillin/streptomycin/fungizone. Control wells included the following: (1) no ACE cells added; (2) ACE cells alone; (3) ACE cells plus VEGF (5 ng/ml); and (4) ACE cells plus FGF (5ng/ml). The control or test sample, (in 100 microliter volumes), was then added to the wells (at dilutions of 1%, 0.1% and 0.01%, respectively). The cell cultures were incubated for 6-7 days at 37° C./5% CO 2 . After the incubation, the media in the wells was aspirated, and the cells were washed 1×with PBS. An acid phosphatase reaction mixture (100 microliter; 0.1M sodium acetate, pH 5.5, 0.1% Triton X-100, 10 mM p-nitrophenyl phosphate) was then added to each well. After a 2 hour incubation at 37° C., the reaction was stopped by addition of 10 microliters 1N NaOH. Optical density (OD) was measured on a microplate reader at 405 nm.  
     [4315] The activity of a PRO polypeptide was calculated as the fold increase in proliferation (as determined by the acid phosphatase activity, OD 405 nm) relative to (1) cell only background, and (2) relative to maximum stimulation by VEGF. VEGF (at 3-10 ng/ml) and FGF (at 1-5 ng/ml) were employed as an activity reference for maximum stimulation. Results of the assay were considered “positive” if the observed stimulation was ≧50% increase over background. VEGF (5 ng/ml) control at 1% dilution gave 1.24 fold stimulation; FGF (5 ng/ml) control at 1% dilution gave 1.46 fold stimulation.  
     [4316] The following PRO polypeptides tested positive in this assay: PRO 1154 and PRO1186.  
     EXAMPLE 150  
     Inhibition of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Stimulated Proliferation of Endothelial Cell Growth (Assay 9)  
     [4317] The ability of various PRO polypeptides to inhibit VEGF stimulated proliferation of endothelial cells was tested. Polypeptides testing positive in this assay are useful for inhibiting endothelial cell growth in mammals where such an effect would be beneficial, e.g., for inhibiting tumor growth.  
     [4318] Specifically, bovine adrenal cortical capillary endothelial cells (ACE) (from primary culture, maximum of 12-14 passages) were plated in 96-well plates at 500 cells/well per 100 microliter. Assay media included low glucose DMEM, 10% calf serum, 2 mM glutamine, and 1×penicillin/streptomycin/fungizone. Control wells included the following: (1) no ACE cells added; (2) ACE cells alone; (3) ACE cells plus 5 ng/ml FGF; (4) ACE cells plus 3 ng/ml VEGF; (5) ACE cells plus 3 ng/ml VEGF plus 1 ng/ml TGF-beta; and (6) ACE cells plus 3 ng/ml VEGF plus 5 ng/ml LIF. The test samples, poly-his tagged PRO polypeptides (in 100 microliter volumes), were then added to the wells (at dilutions of 1%, 0.1% and 0.01%, respectively). The cell cultures were incubated for 6-7 days at 37° C./5% CO 2 . After the incubation, the media in the wells was aspirated, and the cells were washed 1× with PBS. An acid phosphatase reaction mixture (100 microliter; 0.1M sodium acetate, pH 5.5, 0.1% Triton X-100, 10 mM p-nitrophenyl phosphate) was then added to each well. After a 2 hour incubation at 37° C., the reaction was stopped by addition of 10 microliters 1N NaOH. Optical density (OD) was measured on a microplate reader at 405 nm.  
     [4319] The activity of PRO polypeptides was calculated as the percent inhibition of VEGF (3 ng/ml) stimulated proliferation (as determined by measuring acid phosphatase activity at OD 405 nm) relative to the cells without stimulation. TGF-beta was employed as an activity reference at 1 ng/ml, since TGF-beta blocks 70-90% of VEGF-stimulated ACE cell proliferation. The results are indicative of the utility of the PRO polypeptides in cancer therapy and specifically in inhibiting tumor angiogenesis. Numerical values (relative inhibition) are determined by calculating the percent inhibition of VEGF stimulated proliferation by the PRO polypeptides relative to cells without stimulation and then dividing that percentage into the percent inhibition obtained by TGF-β at 1 ng/ml which is known to block 70-90% of VEGF stimulated cell proliferation. The results are considered positive if the PRO polypeptide exhibits 30% or greater inhibition of VEGF stimulation of endothelial cell growth (relative inhibition 30% or greater).  
     [4320] The following polypeptide tested positive in this assay: PRO812.  
     EXAMPLE 151  
     Stimulatory Activity in Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction (MLR) Assay (Assay 24)  
     [4321] This example shows that certain polypeptides of the invention are active as a stimulator of the proliferation of stimulated T-lymphocytes. Compounds which stimulate proliferation of lymphocytes are useful therapeutically where enhancement of an immune response is beneficial. A therapeutic agent may take the form of antagonists of the polypeptide of the invention, for example, murine-human chimeric, humanized or human antibodies against the polypeptide.  
     [4322] The basic protocol for this assay is described in Current Protocols in Immunology, unit 3.12; edited by J E Coligan, A M Kruisbeek, D H Marglies, E M Shevach, W Strober, National Insitutes of Health, Published by John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc.  
     [4323] More specifically, in one assay variant, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) are isolated from mammalian individuals, for example a human volunteer, by leukopheresis (one donor will supply stimulator PBMCs, the other donor will supply responder PBMCs). If desired, the cells are frozen in fetal bovine serum and DMSO after isolation. Frozen cells may be thawed overnight in assay media (37° C., 5% CO 2 ) and then washed and resuspended to 3×10 6  cells/ml of assay media (RPMI; 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 1% glutamine, 1% HEPES, 1% non-essential amino acids, 1% pyruvate). The stimulator PBMCs are prepared by irradiating the cells (about 3000 Rads).  
     [4324] The assay is prepared by plating in triplicate wells a mixture of:  
     [4325] 100:1 of test sample diluted to 1% or to 0.1%,  
     [4326] 50:1 of irradiated stimulator cells, and  
     [4327] 50:1 of responder PBMC cells.  
     [4328] 100 microliters of cell culture media or 100 microliter of CD4-IgG is used as the control. The wells are then incubated at 37° C., 5% CO 2  for 4 days. On day 5, each well is pulsed with tritiated thymidine (1.0 mC/well; Amersham). After 6 hours the cells are washed 3 times and then the uptake of the label is evaluated.  
     [4329] In another variant of this assay, PBMCs are isolated from the spleens of Balb/c mice and C57B6 mice. The cells are teased from freshly harvested spleens in assay media (RPMI; 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 1% glutamine, 1% HEPES, 1% non-essential amino acids, 1% pyruvate) and the PBMCs are isolated by overlaying these cells over Lympholyte M (Organon Teknika), centrifuging at 2000 rpm for 20 minutes, collecting and washing the mononuclear cell layer in assay media and resuspending the cells to 1×10 7  cells/ml of assay media. The assay is then conducted as described above.  
     [4330] Positive increases over control are considered positive with increases of greater than or equal to 180% being preferred. However, any value greater than control indicates a stimulatory effect for the test protein.  
     [4331] The following PRO polypeptides tested positive in this assay: PRO826, PRO1068, PRO1184, PRO1346 and PRO1375.  
     EXAMPLE 152  
     Retinal Neuron Survival (Assay 52)  
     [4332] This example demonstrates that certain PRO polypeptides have efficacy in enhancing the survival of retinal neuron cells and, therefore, are useful for the therapeutic treatment of retinal disorders or injuries including, for example, treating sight loss in mammals due to retinitis pigmentosum, AMD, etc.  
     [4333] Sprague Dawley rat pups at postnatal day 7 (mixed population: glia and retinal neuronal types) are killed by decapitation following CO 2  anesthesia and the eyes are removed under sterile conditions. The neural retina is dissected away from the pigment epithelium and other ocular tissue and then dissociated into a single cell suspension using 0.25% trypsin in Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ -free PBS. The retinas are incubated at 37° C for 7-10 minutes after which the trypsin is inactivated by adding 1 ml soybean trypsin inhibitor. The cells are plated at 100,000 cells per well in 96 well plates in DMEM/F12 supplemented with N2 and with or without the specific test PRO polypeptide. Cells for all experiments are grown at 37° C. in a water saturated atmosphere of 5% CO 2 . After 2-3 days in culture, cells are stained with calcein AM then fixed using 4% paraformaldehyde and stained with DAPI for determination of total cell count. The total cells (fluorescent) are quantified at 20× objective magnification using CCD camera and NIH image software for MacIntosh. Fields in the well are chosen at random.  
     [4334] The effect of various concentration of PRO polypeptides are reported herein where percent survival is calculated by dividing the total number of calcein AM positive cells at 2-3 days in culture by the total number of DAPI-labeled cells at 2-3 days in culture. Anything above 30% survival is considered positive.  
     [4335] The following PRO polypeptides tested positive in this assay using polypeptide concentrations within the range of 0.01% to 1.0% in the assay: PRO828, PRO826, PRO1068 and PRO1132.

     Rod Photoreceptor Cell Survival (Assay 56)  
     [4336] This assay shows that certain polypeptides of the invention act to enhance the survival/proliferation of rod photoreceptor cells and, therefore, are useful for the therapeutic treatment of retinal disorders or injuries including, for example, treating sight loss in mammals due to retinitis pigmentosum, AMD, etc.  
     [4337] Sprague Dawley rat pups at 7 day postnatal (mixed population: glia and retinal neuronal cell types) are killed by decapitation following CO 2  anesthesis and the eyes are removed under sterile conditions. The neural retina is dissected away form the pigment epithelium and other ocular tissue and then dissociated into a single cell suspension using 0.25% trypsin in Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ -free PBS. The retinas are incubated at 37° C. for 7-10 minutes after which the trypsin is inactivated by adding 1 ml soybean trypsin inhibitor. The cells are plated at 100,000 cells per well in 96 well plates in DMEM/F12 supplemented with N 2 . Cells for all experiments are grown at 37° C. in a water saturated atmosphere of 5% CO 2 . After 2-3 days in culture, cells are fixed using 4% paraformaldehyde, and then stained using CellTracker Green CMFDA. Rho 4D2 (ascites or IgG 1:100), a monoclonal antibody directed towards the visual pigment rhodopsin is used to detect rod photoreceptor cells by indirect immunofluorescence. The results are calculated as % survival: total number of calcein−rhodopsin positive cells at 2-3 days in culture, divided by the total number of rhodopsin positive cells at time 2-3 days in culture. The total cells (fluorescent) are quantified at 20×objective magnification using a CCD camera and NIH image software for MacIntosh. Fields in the well are chosen at random.

     Induction of c-fos in Endothelial Cells (Assay 34)  
     [4339] This assay is designed to determine whether PRO polypeptides show the ability to induce c-fos in endothelial cells. PRO polypeptides testing positive in this assay would be expected to be useful for the therapeutic treatment of conditions or disorders where angiogenesis would be beneficial including, for example, wound healing, and the like (as would agonists of these PRO polypeptides). Antagonists of the PRO polypeptides testing positive in this assay would be expected to be useful for the therapeutic treatment of cancerous tumors.  
     [4340] Human venous umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC, Cell Systems) in growth media (50% Ham&#39;s F12 w/o GHT: low glucose, and 50% DMEM without glycine: with NaHCO3, 1% glutamine, 10 mM HEPES, 10% FBS, 10 ng/ml bFGF) were plated on 96-well microtiter plates at a cell density of 1×10 4  cells/well. The day after plating, the cells were starved by removing the growth media and treating the cells with 100 μl/well test samples and controls (positive control=growth media; negative control=Protein 32 buffer=10 mM HEPES, 140 mM NaCl, 4% (w/v) mannitol, pH 6.8). The cells were incubated for 30 minutes at 37° C., in 5% CO 2 . The samples were removed, and the first part of the bDNA kit protocol (Chiron Diagnostics, cat. #6005-037) was followed, where each capitalized reagent/buffer listed below was available from the kit.  
     [4341] Briefly, the amounts of the TM Lysis Buffer and Probes needed for the tests were calculated based on information provided by the manufacturer. The appropriate amounts of thawed Probes were added to the TM Lysis Buffer. The Capture Hybridization Buffer was warmed to room temperature. The bDNA strips were set up in the metal strip holders, and 100 μl of Capture Hybridization Buffer was added to each b-DNA well needed, followed by incubation for at least 30 minutes. The test plates with the cells were removed from the incubator, and the media was gently removed using the vacuum manifold. 100 μl of Lysis Hybridization Buffer with Probes were quickly pipetted into each well of the microtiter plates. The plates were then incubated at 55° C. for 15 minutes. Upon removal from the incubator, the plates were placed on the vortex mixer with the microtiter adapter head and vortexed on the #2 setting for one minute. 80 μl of the lysate was removed and added to the bDNA wells containing the Capture Hybridization Buffer, and pipetted up and down to mix. The plates were incubated at 53° C. for at least 16 hours.  
     [4342] On the next day, the second part of the bDNA kit protocol was followed. Specifically, the plates were removed from the incubator and placed on the bench to cool for 10 minutes. The volumes of additions needed were calculated based upon information provided by the manufacturer. An Amplifier Working Solution was prepared by making a 1:100 dilution of the Amplifier Concentrate (20 fm/μl) in AL Hybridization Buffer. The hybridization mixture was removed from the plates and washed twice with Wash A. 50 μl of Amplifier Working Solution was added to each well and the wells were incubated at 53° C. for 30 minutes. The plates were then removed from the incubator and allowed to cool for 10 minutes. The Label Probe Working Solution was prepared by making a 1:100 dilution of Label Concentrate (40 pmoles/μl) in AL Hybridization Buffer. After the 10-minute cool-down period, the amplifier hybridization mixture was removed and the plates were washed twice with Wash A. 50 μl of Label Probe Working Solution was added to each well and the wells were incubated at 53° C. for 15 minutes. After cooling for 10 minutes, the Substrate was warmed to room temperature. Upon addition of 3 μl of Substrate Enhancer to each ml of Substrate needed for the assay, the plates were allowed to cool for 10 minutes, the label hybridization mixture was removed, and the plates were washed twice with Wash A and three times with Wash D. 50 μl of the Substrate Solution with Enhancer was added to each well. The plates were incubated for 30 minutes at 37° C. and RLU was read in an appropriate luminometer.  
     [4343] The replicates were averaged and the coefficient of variation was determined. The measure of activity of the fold increase over the negative control (Protein 32/HEPES buffer described above) value was indicated by chemiluminescence units (RLU). The results are considered positive if the PRO polypeptide exhibits at least a two-fold value over the negative buffer control. Negative control=1.00 RLU at 1.00% dilution. Positive control=8.39 RLU at 1.00% dilution.  
     [4344] The following PRO polypeptides tested positive in this assay: PRO535, PRO826, PRO819, PRO1126, PRO1160 and PRO1387.

     [4345] This example shows that one or more of the polypeptides of the invention are active as inhibitors of the proliferation of stimulated T-lymphocytes. Compounds which inhibit proliferation of lymphocytes are useful therapeutically where suppression of an immune response is beneficial.  
     [4346] The basic protocol for this assay is described in Current Protocols in Immunology, unit 3.12; edited by J E Coligan, A M Kruisbeek, D H Marglies, E M Shevach, W Strober, National Insitutes of Health, Published by John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc.  
     [4347] More specifically, in one assay variant, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) are isolated from mammalian individuals, for example a human volunteer, by leukopheresis (one donor will supply stimulator PBMCs, the other donor will supply responder PBMCs). If desired, the cells are frozen in fetal bovine serum and DMSO after isolation. Frozen cells may be thawed overnight in assay media (37° C., 5% CO 2 ) and then washed and resuspended to 3×10 6  cells/ml of assay media (RPMI; 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 1% glutamine, 1% HEPES, 1% non-essential amino acids, 1% pyruvate). The stimulator PBMCs are prepared by irradiating the cells (about 3000 Rads).  
     [4348] The assay is prepared by plating in triplicate wells a mixture of:  
     [4349] 100:1 of test sample diluted to 1% or to 0.1%,  
     [4350] 50:1 of irradiated stimulator cells, and  
     [4351] 50:1 of responder PBMC cells.  
     [4352] 100 microliters of cell culture media or 100 microliter of CD4-IgG is used as the control. The wells are then incubated at 37° C., 5% CO 2  for 4 days. On day 5, each well is pulsed with tritiated thymidine (1.0 mC/well; Amersham). After 6 hours the cells are washed 3 times and then the uptake of the label is evaluated.  
     [4353] In another variant of this assay, PBMCs are isolated from the spleens of Balb/c mice and C57B6 mice. The cells are teased from freshly harvested spleens in assay media (RPMI; 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 1% glutamine, 1% HEPES, 1% non-essential amino acids, 1% pyruvate) and the PBMCs are isolated by overlaying these cells over Lympholyte M (Organon Teknika), centrifuging at 2000 rpm for 20 minutes, collecting and washing the mononuclear cell layer in assay media and resuspending the cells to 1×10 7  cells/ml of assay media. The assay is then conducted as described above.  
     [4354] Any decreases below control is considered to be a positive result for an inhibitory compound, with decreases of less than or equal to 80% being preferred. However, any value less than control indicates an inhibitory effect for the test protein.  
     [4355] The following polypeptide tested positive in this assay: PRO1114, PRO836, PRO1159, PRO 1312, PRO1192, PRO1195 and PRO1387.

     Mouse Kidney Mesangial Cell Proliferation Assay (Assay 92)  
     [4356] This assay shows that certain polypeptides of the invention act to induce proliferation of mammalian kidney mesangial cells and, therefore, are useful for treating kidney disorders associated with decreased mesangial cell function such as Berger disease or other nephropathies associated with Schönlein-Henoch purpura, celiac disease, dermatitis herpetiformis or Crohn disease. The assay is performed as follows. On day one, mouse kidney mesangial cells are plated on a 96 well plate in growth media (3:1 mixture of Dulbecco&#39;s modified Eagle&#39;s medium and Ham&#39;s F12 medium, 95% fetal bovine serum, 5% supplemented with 14 mM HEPES) and grown overnight. On day 2, PRO polypeptides are diluted at 2 concentrations (1% and 0.1%) in serum-free medium and added to the cells. Control samples are serum-free medium alone. On day 4, 20 μl of the Cell Titer 96 Aqueous one solution reagent (Progema) was added to each well and the colormetric reaction was allowed to proceed for 2 hours. The absorbance (OD) is then measured at 490 nm. A positive in the assay is anything that gives an absorbance reading which is at least 15% above the control reading.  
     [4357] The following polypeptide tested positive in this assay: PRO819, PRO813 and PRO1066.

     Pericyte c-Fos Induction (Assay 93)  
     [4358] This assay shows that certain polypeptides of the invention act to induce the expression of c-fos in pericyte cells and, therefore, are useful not only as diagnostic markers for particular types of pericyte-associated tumors but also for giving rise to antagonists which would be expected to be useful for the therapeutic treatment of pericyte-associated tumors. Specifically, on day 1, pericytes are received from VEC Technologies and all but 5 ml of media is removed from flask. On day 2, the pericytes are trypsinized, washed, spun and then plated onto 96 well plates. On day 7, the media is removed and the pericytes are treated with 100 μl of PRO polypeptide test samples and controls (positive control=DME+5% serum+/−PDGF at 500 ng/ml; negative control=protein 32). Replicates are averaged and SD/CV are determined. Fold increase over Protein 32 (buffer control) value indicated by chemiluminescence units (RLU) luminometer reading verses frequency is plotted on a histogram. Two-fold above Protein 32 value is considered positive for the assay. ASY Matrix: Growth media=low glucose DMEM=20% FBS+1×pen strep+1×fungizone. Assay Media=low glucose DMEM+5% FBS.

     Detection of PRO Polypeptides that Affect Glucose or FFA Uptake by Primary Rat Adipocytes (Assay 94)  
     [4360] This assay is designed to determine whether PRO polypeptides show the ability to affect glucose or FFA uptake by adipocyte cells. PRO polypeptides testing positive in this assay would be expected to be useful for the therapeutic treatment of disorders where either the stimulation or inhibition of glucose uptake by adipocytes would be beneficial including, for example, obesity, diabetes or hyper- or hypo-insulinemia.  
     [4361] In a 96 well format, PRO polypeptides to be assayed are added to primary rat adipocytes, and allowed to incubate overnight. Samples are taken at 4 and 16 hours and assayed for glycerol, glucose and FFA uptake. After the 16 hour incubation, insulin is added to the media and allowed to incubate for 4 hours. At this time, a sample is taken and glycerol, glucose and FFA uptake is measured. Media containing insulin without the PRO polypeptide is used as a positive reference control. As the PRO polypeptide being tested may either stimulate or inhibit glucose and FFA uptake, results are scored as positive in the assay if greater than 1.5 times or less than 0.5 times the insulin control.  
     [4362] The following PRO polypeptides tested positive as stimulators of glucose and/or FFA uptake in this assay: PRO1114, PRO1007, PRO1066, PRO848, PRO1182, PRO1198, PRO1192, PRO1271, PRO1375 and PRO1387.

     Chondrocyte Re-differentiation Assay (Assay 110)  
     [4364] This assay shows that certain polypeptides of the invention act to induce redifferentiation of chondrocytes, therefore, are expected to be useful for the treatment of various bone and/or cartilage disorders such as, for example, sports injuries and arthritis. The assay is performed as follows. Porcine chondrocytes are isolated by overnight collagenase digestion of articulary cartilage of metacarpophalangeal joints of 4-6 month old female pigs. The isolated cells are then seeded at 25,000 cells/cm 2  in Ham F-12 containing 10% FBS and 4 μg/ml gentamycin. The culture media is changed every third day and the cells are then seeded in 96 well plates at 5,000 cells/well in 100 μl of the same media without serum and 100 μl of the test PRO polypeptide, 5 nM staurosporin (positive control) or medium alone (negative control) is added to give a final volume of 200 μl/well. After 5 days of incubation at 37° C., a picture of each well is taken and the differentiation state of the chondrocytes is determined. A positive result in the assay occurs when the redifferentiation of the chondrocytes is determined to be more similar to the positive control than the negative control.  
     [4365] The following polypeptide tested positive in this assay: PRO1282, PRO1310, PRO619, PRO943, PRO820, PRO1080, PRO1016, PRO1007, PRO1056, PRO791, PRO1111, PRO1184, PRO1360, PRO1309, PRO1107, PRO1132, PRO1131, PRO848, PRO1181, PRO1186, PRO1159, PRO1312, PRO1192 and PRO1384.

     [4366] This assay is designed to determine whether PRO polypeptides of the present invention show the ability to induce the proliferation and/or redifferentiation of chondrocytes in culture. PRO polypeptides testing positive in this assay would be expected to be useful for the therapeutic treatment of various bone and/or cartilage disorders such as, for example, sports injuries and arthritis.  
     [4367] Porcine chondrocytes are isolated by overnight collagenase digestion of articular cartilage of the metacarpophalangeal joint of 4-6 month old female pigs. The isolated cells are then seeded at 25,000 cells/cm 2  in Ham F-12 containing 10% FBS and 4 μg/ml gentamycin. The culture media is changed every third day and the cells are reseeded to 25,000 cells/cm 2  every five days. On day 12, the cells are seeded in 96 well plates at 5,000 cells/well in 100 μl of the same media without serum and 100 μl of either serum-free medium (negative control), staurosporin (final concentration of 5 nM; positive control) or the test PRO polypeptide are added to give a final volume of 200 μl/well. After 5 days at 37° C., 20 μl of Alamar blue is added to each well and the plates are incubated for an additional 3 hours at 37° C. The fluorescence is then measured in each well (Ex:530 nm; Em: 590 nm). The fluorescence of a plate containing 200 μl of the serum-free medium is measured to obtain the background. A positive result in the assay is obtained when the fluorescence of the PRO polypeptide treated sample is more like that of the positive control than the negative control.

     Induction of Pancreatic β-Cell Precursor Proliferation (Assay 117)  
     [4369] This assay shows that certain polypeptides of the invention act to induce an increase in the number of pancreatic β-cell precursor cells and, therefore, are useful for treating various insulin deficient states in mammals, including diabetes mellitus. The assay is performed as follows. The assay uses a primary culture of mouse fetal pancreatic cells and the primary readout is an alteration in the expression of markers that represent either β-cell precursors or mature β-cells. Marker expression is measured by real time quantitative PCR (RTQ-PCR); wherein the marker being evaluated is a transcription factor called Pdx1.  
     [4370] The pancreata are dissected from E14 embryos (CD1 mice). The pancreata are then digested with collagenase/dispase in F12/DMEM at 37° C. for 40 to 60 minutes (collagenase/dispase, 1.37 mg/ml, Boehringer Mannheim, #1097113). The digestion is then neutralized with an equal volume of 5% BSA and the cells are washed once with RPMI1640. At day 1, the cells are seeded into 12-well tissue culture plates (pre-coated with laminin, 20μg/ml in PBS, Boehringer Mannheim, #124317). Cells from pancreata from 1-2 embryos are distributed per well. The culture medium for this primary cuture is 14F/1640. At day 2, the media is removed and the attached cells washed with RPMI/1640. Two mls of mininal media are added in addition to the protein to be tested. At day 4, the media is removed and RNA prepared from the cells and marker expression analyzed by real time quantitative RT-PCR. A protein is considered to be active in the assay if it increases the expression of the relevant β-cell marker as compared to untreated controls.

Then fresh media with the PRO polypeptide and +/−insulin are added to the wells. The sample media is then monitored to determine glucose and FFA uptake by the skeletal muscle cells. The insulin will stimulate glucose and FFA uptake by the skeletal muscle, and insulin in media without the PRO polypeptide is used as a positive control, and a limit for scoring. As the PRO polypeptide being tested may either stimulate or inhibit glucose and FFA uptake, results are scored as positive in the assay if greater than 1.5 times or less than 0.5 times the insulin control.

Molecules testing positive in this assay are expected to be useful for therapeutically treating various mammalian hemoglobin-associated disorders such as the various thalassemias. The assay is performed as follows. Erythroblastic cells are plated in standard growth medium at 1000 cells/well in a 96 well format.

     EXAMPLE 165  
     Skin Vascular Permeability Assay (Assay 64)  
     [4424] This assay shows that certain polypeptides of the invention stimulate an immune response and induce inflammation by inducing mononuclear cell, eosinophil and PMN infiltration at the site of injection of the animal. Compounds which stimulate an immune response are useful therapeutically where stimulation of an immune response is beneficial. This skin vascular permeability assay is conducted as follows. Hairless guinea pigs weighing 350 grams or more are anesthetized with ketamine (75-80 mg/Kg) and 5 mg/Kg xylazine intramuscularly (IM). A sample of purified polypeptide of the invention or a conditioned media test sample is injected intradermally onto the backs of the test animals with 100 μl per injection site. It is possible to have about 10-30, preferably about 16-24, injection sites per animal. One μl of Evans blue dye (1% in physiologic buffered saline) is injected intracardially. Blemishes at the injection sites are then measured (mm diameter) at 1 hr and 6 hr post injection. Animals were sacrificed at 6 hrs after injection. Each skin injection site is biopsied and fixed in formalin. The skins are then prepared for histopathologic evaluation. Each site is evaluated for inflammatory cell infiltration into the skin. Sites with visible inflammatory cell inflammation are scored as positive. Inflammatory cells may be neutrophilic, eosinophilic, monocytic or lymphocytic. At least a minimal perivascular infiltrate at the injection site is scored as positve, no infiltrate at the site of injection is scored as negative.  
     [4425] The following polypeptide tested positive in this assay: PRO1007, PRO1358 and PRO1375.  
     EXAMPLE 166  
     Induction of Endothelial Cell Apoptosis (ELISA) (Assay 109)  
     [4426] The ability of PRO polypeptides to induce apoptosis in endothelial cells was tested in human venous umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC, Cell Systems) using a 96-well format, in 0% serum media supplemented with 100 ng/ml VEGF, 0.1% BSA, 1×penn/strep. A positive result in this assay indicates the usefulness of the polypeptide for therapeutically treating any of a variety of conditions associated with undesired endothelial cell growth including, for example, the inhibition of tumor growth. The 96-well plates used were manufactured by Falcon (No. 3072). Coating of 96 well plates were prepared by allowing gelatinization to occur for &gt;30 minutes with 100 μl of 0.2% gelatin in PBS solution. The gelatin mix was aspirated thoroughly before plating HUVEC cells at a final concentration of 2×10 4  cells/ml in 10% serum containing medium—100 μl volume per well. The cells were grown for 24 hours before adding test samples containing the PRO polypeptide of interest.  
     [4427] To all wells, 100 μl of 0% serum media (Cell Systems) complemented with 100 ng/ml VEGF, 0.1% BSA, 1×penn/strep was added. Test samples containing PRO polypeptides were added in triplicate at dilutions of 1%, 0.33% and 0.11%. Wells without cells were used as a blank and wells with cells only were used as a negative control. As a positive control, 1:3 serial dilutions of 50 μl of a 3×stock of staurosporine were used. The cells were incubated for 24 to 35 hours prior to ELISA.  
     [4428] ELISA was used to determine levels of apoptosis preparing solutions according to the Boehringer Manual [Boehringer, Cell Death Detection ELISA plus, Cat No. 1 920 685]. Sample preparations: 96 well plates were spun down at 1 krpm for 10 minutes (200 g); the supernatant was removed by fast inversion, placing the plate upside down on a paper towel to remove residual liquid. To each well, 200 μl of 1×Lysis buffer was added and incubation allowed at room temperature for 30 minutes without shaking. The plates were spun down for 10 minutes at 1 krpm, and 20 μl of the lysate (cytoplasmic fraction) was transferred into streptavidin coated MTP. 80 μl of immunoreagent mix was added to the 20 μl lystate in each well. The MTP was covered with adhesive foil and incubated at room tempearature for 2 hours by placing it on an orbital shaker (200 rpm). After two hours, the supernatant was removed by suction and the wells rinsed three times with 250 μl of 1× incubation buffer per well (removed by suction). Substrate solution was added (100 μl) into each well and incubated on an orbital shaker at room temperature at 250 rpm until color development was sufficient for a photometric analysis (approx. after 10-20 minutes). A 96 well reader was used to read the plates at 405 nm, reference wavelength, 492 nm. The levels obtained for PIN 32 (control buffer) was set to 100%. Samples with levels &gt;130% were considered positive for induction of apoptosis.  
     [4429] The following PRO polypeptides tested positive in this assay: PRO844.  
     EXAMPLE 167  
     Guinea Pig Vascular Leak (Assay 32)  
     [4430] This assay is designed to determine whether PRO polypeptides of the present invention show the ability to induce vascular permeability. Polypeptides testing positive in this assay are expected to be useful for the therapeutic treatment of conditions which would benefit from enhanced vascular permeability including, for example, conditions which may benefit from enhanced local immune system cell infiltration.  
     [4431] Hairless guinea pigs weighing 350 grams or more were anesthetized with Ketamine (75-80 mg/kg) and 5 mg/kg Xylazine intramuscularly. Test samples containing the PRO polypeptide or a physiological buffer without the test polypeptide are injected into skin on the back of the test animals with 100 μl per injection site intradermally. There were approximately 16-24 injection sites per animal. One ml of Evans blue dye (1% in PBS) is then injected intracardially. Skin vascular permeability responses to the compounds (i.e., blemishes at the injection sites of injection) are visually scored by measuring the diameter (in mm) of blue-colored leaks from the site of injection at 1, 6 and 24 hours post administration of the test materials. The mm diameter of blueness at the site of injection is observed and recorded as well as the severity of the vascular leakage. Blemishes of at least 5 mm in diameter are considered positive for the assay when testing purified proteins, being indicative of the ability to induce vascular leakage or permeability. A response greater than 7 mm diameter is considered positive for conditioned media samples. Human VEGF at 0.1 μg/100 μl is used as a positive control, inducing a response of 4-8 mm diameter.  
     [4432] The following PRO polypeptides tested positive in this assay:PRO1155.  
     EXAMPLE 168  
     Mouse Mesengial Cell Inhibition Assay (Assay 114)  
     [4433] This assay is designed to determine whether PRO polypeptides of the present invention show the ability to inhibit the proliferation of mouse mesengial cells in culture. PRO polypeptides testing positive in this assay would be expected to be useful for the therapeutic treatment of such diseases or conditions where inhibition of mesengial cell proliferation would be beneficial such as, for example, cystic renal dysplasia, polycystic kidney disease, or other kidney disease assoiciated with abnormal mesengial cell proliferation, renal tumors, and the like.  
     [4434] On day 1, mouse mesengial cells are plated on a 96 well plate in growth medium (a 3:1 mixture of Dulbecco&#39;s modified Eagle&#39;s medium and Ham&#39;s F12 medium, 95%; fetal bovine serum, 5%; supplemented with 14 mM HEPES) and then are allowed to grow overnight. On day 2, the PRO polypeptide is diluted at 2 different concentrations (1%, 0.1%) in serum-free medium and is added to the cells. The negative control is growth medium without added PRO polypeptide. After the cells are allowed to incubate for 48 hours, 20 μl of the Cell Titer 96 Aqueous one solution reagent (Promega) is added to each well and the colormetric reaction is allowed to proceed for 2 hours. The absorbance (OD) is then measured at 490 nm. A positive in the assay is an absorbance reading which is at least 10% above the negative control.  
     [4435] The following PRO polypeptides tested positive in this assay: PRO1192 and PRO1195.  
     EXAMPLE 169  
     In Vitro Antitumor Assay (Assay 161)  
     [4436] The antiproliferative activity of various PRO polypeptides was determined in the investigational, disease-oriented in vitro anti-cancer drug discovery assay of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), using a sulforhodamine B (SRB) dye binding assay essentially as described by Skehan et al.,  J. Natl. Cancer Inst.  82:1107-1112 (1990). The 60 tumor cell lines employed in this study (“the NCI panel”), as well as conditions for their maintenance and culture in vitro have been described by Monks et al.,  J. Natl. Cancer Inst.  83:757-766 (1991). The purpose of this screen is to initially evaluate the cytotoxic and/or cytostatic activity of the test compounds against different types of tumors (Monks et al., supra; Boyd,  Cancer: Princ. Pract. Oncol. Update  3(10):1-12 [1989]).  
     [4437] Cells from approximately 60 human tumor cell lines were harvested with trypsin/EDTA (Gibco), washed once, resuspended in IMEM and their viability was determined. The cell suspensions were added by pipet (100 μL volume) into separate 96-well microtiter plates. The cell density for the 6-day incubation was less than for the 2-day incubation to prevent overgrowth. Inoculates were allowed a preincubation period of 24 hours at 37° C. for stabilization. Dilutions at twice the intended test concentration were added at time zero in 100 μL aliquots to the microtiter plate wells (1:2 dilution). Test compounds were evaluated at five half-log dilutions (1000 to 100,000-fold). Incubations took place for two days and six days in a 5% CO 2  atmosphere and 100% humidity.  
     [4438] After incubation, the medium was removed and the cells were fixed in 0.1 ml of 10% trichloroacetic acid at 40° C. The plates were rinsed five times with deionized water, dried, stained for 30 minutes with 0.1 ml of 0.4% sulforhodamine B dye (Sigma) dissolved in 1% acetic acid, rinsed four times with 1% acetic acid to remove unbound dye, dried, and the stain was extracted for five minutes with 0.1 ml of 10 mM Tris base [tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane], pH 10.5. The absorbance (OD) of sulforhodamine B at 492 nm was measured using a computer-interfaced, 96-well microtiter plate reader.  
     [4439] A test sample is considered positive if it shows at least 50% growth inhibitory effect at one or more concentrations. The results are shown in the following table, where the abbreviations are as follows:

     [4442] The results of these assays demonstrate that the positive testing PRO polypeptides are useful for inhibiting neoplastic growth in a number of different tumor cell types and may be used therapeutically therefor.. Antibodies against these PRO polypeptides are useful for affinity purification of these useful polypeptides. Nucleic acids encoding these PRO polypeptides are useful for the recombinant preparation of these polypeptides.  
     EXAMPLE 170  
     Gene Amplification in Tumors  
     [4443] This example shows that certain PRO polypeptide-encoding genes are amplified in the genome of certain human lung, colon and/or breast cancers and/or cell lines. Amplification is associated with overexpression of the gene product, indicating that the polypeptides are useful targets for therapeutic intervention in certain cancers such as colon, lung, breast and other cancers and diagnostic determination of the presence of those cancers. Therapeutic agents may take the form of antagonists of the PRO polypeptide, for example, murine-human chimeric, humanized or human antibodies against a PRO polypeptide.  
     [4444] The starting material for the screen was genomic DNA isolated from a variety cancers. The DNA is quantitated precisely, e.g., fluorometrically. As a negative control, DNA was isolated from the cells of ten normal healthy individuals which was pooled and used as assay controls for the gene copy in healthy individuals (not shown). The 5′ nuclease assay (for example, TaqMan™) and real-time quantitative PCR (for example, ABI Prizm 7700 Sequence Detection System™ (Perkin Elmer, Applied Biosystems Division, Foster City, Calif.)), were used to find genes potentially amplified in certain cancers. The results were used to determine whether the DNA encoding the PRO polypeptide is over-represented in any of the primary lung or colon cancers or cancer cell lines or breast cancer cell lines that were screened. The primary lung cancers were obtained from individuals with tumors of the type and stage as indicated in Table 8. An explanation of the abbreviations used for the designation of the primary tumors listed in Table 8 and the primary tumors and cell lines referred to throughout this example are given below.  
     [4445] The results of the TaqMan™ are reported in delta (Δ) Ct units. One unit corresponds to 1 PCR cycle or approximately a 2-fold amplification relative to normal, two units corresponds to 4-fold, 3 units to 8-fold amplification and so on. Quantitation was obtained using primers and a TaqMan™ fluorescent probe derived from the PRO polypeptide-encoding gene. Regions of the PRO polypeptide-encoding gene which are most likely to contain unique nucleic acid sequences and which are least likely to have spliced out introns are preferred for the primer and probe derivation, e.g., 3′-untranslated regions. The sequences for the primers and probes (forward, reverse and probe) used for the PRO polypeptide gene amplification analysis were as follows:

     [4446] The 5′ nuclease assay reaction is a fluorescent PCR-based technique which makes use of the 5′ exonuclease activity of Taq DNA polymerase enzyme to monitor amplification in real time. Two oligonucleotide primers (forward [.f] and reverse [.r]) are used to generate an amplicon typical of a PCR reaction. A third oligonucleotide, or probe (.p), is designed to detect nucleotide sequence located between the two PCR primers. The probe is non-extendible by Taq DNA polymerase enzyme, and is labeled with a reporter fluorescent dye and a quencher fluorescent dye. Any laser-induced emission from the reporter dye is quenched by the quenching dye when the two dyes are located close together as they are on the probe. During the amplification reaction, the Taq DNA polymerase enzyme cleaves the probe in a template-dependent manner. The resultant probe fragments disassociate in solution, and signal from the released reporter dye is free from the quenching effect of the second fluorophore. One molecule of reporter dye is liberated for each new molecule synthesized, and detection of the unquenched reporter dye provides the basis for quantitative interpretation of the data.  
     [4447] The 5′ nuclease procedure is run on a real-time quantitative PCR device such as the ABI Prism 7700TM Sequence Detection. The system consists of a thermocycler, laser, charge-coupled device (CCD) camera and computer. The system amplifies samples in a 96-well format on a thermocycler. During amplification, laser-induced fluorescent signal is collected in real-time through fiber optics cables for all 96 wells, and detected at the CCD. The system includes software for running the instrument and for analyzing the data.  
     [4448] 5′ Nuclease assay data are initially expressed as Ct, or the threshold cycle. This is defined as the cycle at which the reporter signal accumulates above the background level of fluorescence. The ΔCt values are used as quantitative measurement of the relative number of starting copies of a particular target sequence in a nucleic acid sample when comparing cancer DNA results to normal human DNA results.

     [4450] DNA Preparation:  
     [4451] DNA was prepared from cultured cell lines, primary tumors, normal human blood. The isolation was performed using purification kit, buffer set and protease and all from Quiagen, according to the manufacturer&#39;s instructions and the description below.  
     [4452] Cell culture lysis:  
     [4453] Cells were washed and trypsinized at a concentration of 7.5×10 8  per tip and pelleted by centrifuging at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes at 4° C., followed by washing again with ½ volume of PBS recentrifugation. The pellets were washed a third time, the suspended cells collected and washed 2× with PBS. The cells were then suspended into 10 ml PBS. Buffer C1 was equilibrated at 4° C. Qiagen protease #19155 was diluted into 6.25 ml cold dd H 2 O to a final concentration of 20 mg/ml and equilibrated at 4° C. 10 ml of G2 Buffer was prepared by diluting Qiagen RNAse A stock (100 mg/ml) to a final concentration of 200 μg/ml.  
     [4454] Buffer C1 (10 ml, 4° C.) and ddH2O (40 ml, 4° C.) were then added to the 10 ml of cell suspension, mixed by inverting and incubated on ice for 10 minutes. The cell nuclei were pelleted by centrifuging in a Beckman swinging bucket rotor at 2500 rpm at 4° C. for 15 minutes. The supernatant was discarded and the nuclei were suspended with a vortex into 2 ml Buffer C1 (at 4° C.) and 6 ml ddH 2 O, followed by a second 4° C. centrifugation at 2500 rpm for 15 minutes. The nuclei were then resuspended into the residual buffer using 200 μl per tip. G2 buffer (10 ml) was added to the suspended nuclei while gentle vortexing was applied. Upon completion of buffer addition, vigorous vortexing was applied for 30 seconds. Quiagen protease (200 μl, prepared as indicated above) was added and incubated at 50° C. for 60 minutes. The incubation and centrifugation was repeated until the lysates were clear (e.g., incubating additional 30-60 minutes, pelleting at 3000×g for 10 min., 4° C.).  
     [4455] Solid human tumor sample preparation and lysis:  
     [4456] Tumor samples were weighed and placed into 50 ml conical tubes and held on ice. Processing was limited to no more than 250 mg tissue per preparation (1 tip/preparation). The protease solution was freshly prepared by diluting into 6.25 ml cold ddH 2 O to a final concentration of 20 mg/nil and stored at 4° C. G2 buffer (20 ml) was prepared by diluting DNAse A to a final concentration of 200 mg/ml (from 100 mg/ml stock). The tumor tissue was homogenated in 19 ml G2 buffer for 60 seconds using the large tip of the polytron in a laminar-flow TC hood in order to avoid inhalation of aerosols, and held at room temperature. Between samples, the polytron was cleaned by spinning at 2×30 seconds each in 2L ddH 2 O, followed by G2 buffer (50 ml). If tissue was still present on the generator tip, the apparatus was disassembled and cleaned.  
     [4457] Quiagen protease (prepared as indicated above, 1.0 ml) was added, followed by vortexing and incubation at 50° C. for 3 hours. The incubation and centrifugation was repeated until the lysates were clear (e.g., incubating additional 30-60 minutes, pelleting at 3000×g for 10 min., 4° C.).  
     [4458] Human blood preparation and lysis:  
     [4459] Blood was drawn from healthy volunteers using standard infectious agent protocols and citrated into 10 ml samples per tip. Quiagen protease was freshly prepared by dilution into 6.25 ml cold ddH 2 O to a final concentration of 20 mg/ml and stored at 4° C. G2 buffer was prepared by diluting RNAse A to a final concentration of 200 μg/ml from 100 mg/ml stock. The blood (10 ml) was placed into a 50 ml conical tube and 10 ml C1 buffer and 30 ml ddH 2 O (both previously equilibrated to 4° C.) were added, and the components mixed by inverting and held on ice for 10 minutes. The nuclei were pelleted with a Beckman swinging bucket rotor at 2500 rpm, 4° C. for 15 minutes and the supernatant discarded. With a vortex, the nuclei were suspended into 2 ml C1 buffer (4° C) and 6 ml ddH 2 O (4° C.). Vortexing was repeated until the pellet was white. The nuclei were then suspended into the residual buffer using a 200 μl tip. G2 buffer (10 ml) were added to the suspended nuclei while gently vortexing, followed by vigorous vortexing for 30 seconds. Quiagen protease was added (200 μl) and incubated at 50° C. for 60 minutes. The incubation and centrifugation was repeated until the lysates were clear (e.g., incubating additional 30-60 minutes, pelleting at 3000×g for 10 min., 4° C.).  
     [4460] Purification of cleared lysates:  
     [4461] (1) Isolation of genomic DNA:  
     [4462] Genomic DNA was equilibrated (I sample per maxi tip preparation) with 10 ml QBT buffer. QF elution buffer was equilibrated at 50° C. The samples were vortexed for 30 seconds, then loaded onto equilibrated tips and drained by gravity. The tips were washed with 2×15 ml QC buffer. The DNA was eluted into 30 ml silanized, autoclaved 30 ml Corex tubes with 15 ml QF buffer (50° C.). Isopropanol (10.5 ml) was added to each sample, the tubes covered with parafin and mixed by repeated inversion until the DNA precipitated. Samples were pelleted by centrifugation in the SS-34 rotor at 15,000 rpm for 10 minutes at 4° C. The pellet location was marked, the supernatant discarded, and 10 ml 70% ethanol (4° C.) was added. Samples were pelleted again by centrifugation on the SS-34 rotor at 10,000 rpm for 10 minutes at 4° C. The pellet location was marked and the supernatant discarded. The tubes were then placed on their side in a drying rack and dried 10 minutes at 37° C., taking care not to overdry the samples.  
     [4463] After drying, the pellets were dissolved into 1.0 ml TE (pH 8.5) and placed at 50° C. for 1-2 hours. Samples were held overnight at 4° C. as dissolution continued. The DNA solution was then transferred to 1.5 ml tubes with a 26 gauge needle on a tuberculin syringe. The transfer was repeated 5× in order to shear the DNA. Samples were then placed at 50° C. for 1-2 hours.  
     [4464] (2) Quantitation of genomic DNA and preparation for gene amplification assay:  
     [4465] The DNA levels in each tube were quantified by standard A 260 , A 280  spectrophotometry on a 1:20 dilution (5 μl DNA+95 μl ddH 2 O) using the 0.1 ml quartz cuvetts in the Beckman DU640 spectrophotometer. A 260 /A 280  ratios were in the range of 1.8-1.9. Each DNA samples was then diluted further to approximately 200 ng/ml in TE (pH 8.5). If the original material was highly concentrated (about 700 ng/μl), the material was placed at 50° C. for several hours until resuspended.  
     [4466] Fluorometric DNA quantitation was then performed on the diluted material (20-600 ng/ml) using the manufacturer&#39;s guidelines as modified below. This was accomplished by allowing a Hoeffer DyNA Quant 200 fluorometer to warm-up for about 15 minutes. The Hoechst dye working solution (#H33258, 10 μl, prepared within 12 hours of use) was diluted into 100 ml 1×TNE buffer. A 2 ml cuvette was filled with the fluorometer solution, placed into the machine, and the machine was zeroed. pGEM 3Zf(+) (2 μl, lot #360851026) was added to 2 ml of fluorometer solution and calibrated at 200 units. An additional 2 μl of pGEM 3Zf(+) DNA was then tested and the reading confirmed at 400+/−10 units. Each sample was then read at least in triplicate. When 3 samples were found to be within 10% of each other, their average was taken and this value was used as the quantification value.  
     [4467] The fluorometricly determined concentration was then used to dilute each sample to 10 ng/μl in ddH 2 O. This was done simultaneously on all template samples for a single TaqMan plate assay, and with enough material to run 500-1000 assays. The samples were tested in triplicate with Taqman™ primers and probe both B-actin and GAPDH on a single plate with normal human DNA and no-template controls. The diluted samples were used provided that the CT value of normal human DNA subtracted from test DNA was +/−1 Ct. The diluted, lot-qualified genomic DNA was stored in 1.0 ml aliquots at −80° C. Aliquots which were subsequently to be used in the gene amplification assay were stored at 4° C. Each 1 ml aliquot is enough for 8-9 plates or 64 tests.

     [4472] Because amplification of the various DNAs described above occurs in various cancerous tumors and tumor cell lines derived from various human tissues, these molecules likely play a significant role in tumor formation and/or growth. As a result, amplification and/or enhanced expression of these molecules can serve as a diagnostic for detecting the presence of tumor in an individual and antagonists (e.g., antibodies) directed against the proteins encoded by the above described DNA molecules would be expected to have utility in cancer therapy.  
     EXAMPLE 171  
     Identification of Receptor/Ligand Interactions  
     [4473] In this assay, various PRO polypeptides are tested for ability to bind to a panel of potential receptor molecules for the purpose of identifying receptor/ligand interactions. The identification of a ligand for a known receptor, a receptor for a known ligand or a novel receptor/ligand pair is useful for a variety of indications including, for example, targeting bioactive molecules (linked to the ligand or receptor) to a cell known to express the receptor or ligand, use of the receptor or ligand as a reagent to detect the presence of the ligand or receptor in a composition suspected of containing the same, wherein the composition may comprise cells suspected of expressing the ligand or receptor, modulating the growth of or another biological or immunological activity of a cell known to express or respond to the receptor or ligand, modulating the immune response of cells or toward cells that express the receptor or ligand, allowing the preparaion of agonists, antagonists and/or antibodies directed against the receptor or ligand which will modulate the growth of or a biological or immunological activity of a cell expressing the receptor or ligand, and various other indications which will be readily apparent to the ordinarily skilled artisan.  
     [4474] The assay is performed as follows. A PRO polypeptide of the present invention suspected of being a ligand for a receptor is expressed as a fusion protein containing the Fc domain of human IgG (an immunoadhesin). Receptor-ligand binding is detected by allowing interaction of the immunoadhesin polypeptide with cells (e.g. Cos cells) expressing candidate PRO polypeptide receptors and visualization of bound immunoadhesin with fluorescent reagents directed toward the Fc fusion domain and examination by microscope. Cells expressing candidate receptors are produced by transient transfection, in parallel, of defined subsets of a library of cDNA expression vectors encoding PRO polypeptides that may function as receptor molecules. Cells are then incubated for 1 hour in the presence of the PRO polypeptide immunoadhesin being tested for possible receptor binding. The cells are then washed and fixed with paraformaldehyde. The cells are then incubated with fluorescent conjugated antibody directed against the Fc portion of the PRO polypeptide immunoadhesin (e.g. FITC conjugated goat anti-human-Fc antibody). The cells are then washed again and examined by microscope. A positive interaction is judged by the presence of fluorescent labeling of cells transfected with cDNA encoding a particular PRO polypeptide receptor or pool of receptors and an absence of similar fluorescent labeling of similarly prepared cells that have been transfected with other cDNA or pools of cDNA. If a defined pool of cDNA expression vectors is judged to be positive for interaction with a PRO polypeptide immunoadhesin, the individual cDNA species that comprise the pool are tested individually (the pool is “broken down”) to determine the specific cDNA that encodes a receptor able to interact with the PRO polypeptide immunoadhesin.  
     [4475] In another embodiment of this assay, an epitope-tagged potential ligand PRO polypeptide (e.g. 8 histidine “His” tag) is allowed to interact with a panel of potential receptor PRO polypeptide molecules that have been expressed as fusions with the Fc domain of human IgG (immunoadhesins). Following a 1 hour co-incubation with the epitope tagged PRO polypeptide, the candidate receptors are each immunoprecipitated with protein A beads and the beads are washed. Potential ligand interaction is determined by western blot analysis of the immunoprecipitated complexes with antibody directed towards the epitope tag. An interaction is judged to occur if a band of the anticipated molecular weight of the epitope tagged protein is observed in the western blot analysis with a candidate receptor, but is not observed to occur with the other members of the panel of potential receptors.  
     [4476] Using these assays, the following receptor/ligand interactions have been herein identified:  
     [4477] (1) PRO943 binds to FHF1, PRO183 (FHF2), PRO184 (FHF3) and PRO185 (FHF4) and vice versa.  
     [4478] (2) PRO331 binds to PRO1133 and vice versa.  
     [4479] (3) PRO363 binds to PRO1387 and vice versa.  
     [4480] (4) PRO5723 binds to PRO1387 and vice versa.  
     [4481] (5) PRO1114 binds to PRO3301 and PRO9940 and vice versa.  
     [4482] (6) PRO9828 appears to be a novel fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) ligand in that it binds to the known FGF receptors FGFR1, FGFR2IIIC, FGFR3IIIC and FGFR4. PRO9828 and agonists, therefore, will find use for activating the biological activities normally activated by FGF molecules including, for example, cell growth and proliferation. Antagonists of PRO9828 will find use in blocking the biological activities mediated through the FGF receptor.  
     [4483] (7) PRO1181 binds to PRO7170, PRO361 and PRO846.  
     EXAMPLE 172  
     Tissue Expression Distribution  
     [4484] Oligonucleotide probes were constructed from the PRO polypeptide-encoding nucleotide sequences shown in the figures for use in quantitative PCR amplification reactions. The oligonucleotide probes were chosen so as to give an approximately 200-600 base pair amplified fragment from the 3′ end of its associated template in a standard PCR reaction. The oligonucleotide probes were employed in standard quantitative PCR amplification reactions with cDNA libraries isolated from different human adult and/or fetal tissue sources and analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis so as to obtain a quantitative determination of the level of expression of the PRO polypeptide-encoding nucleic acids in the various tissues tested. Knowledge of the expression pattern or the differential expression of the PRO polypeptide-encoding nucleic acids in various different human tissue types provides a diagnostic marker useful for tissue typing, with or without other tissue-specific markers, for determining the primary tissue source of a metastatic tumor, disease diagnosis, and the like. These assays provided the following results.

     EXAMPLE 173  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO846  
     [4485] A consensus sequence was obtained relative to a variety of EST sequences as described in Example 1 above, wherein the consensus sequence obtained is herein designated DNA39949. Based on the DNA39949 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO846.  
     [4486] Forward and reverse PCR primers were synthesized:  
                              forward PCR primer               5′-CCCTGCAGTGCACCTACAGGGAAG-3′   (SEQ ID NO:518)               reverse PCR primer       5′-CTGTCTTCCCCTGCTTGGCTGTGG-3′   (SEQ ID NO:519)          
 
     [4487] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization probe was constructed from the consensus DNA39949 sequence which had the following nucleotide sequence  
     [4488] hybridization probe  
     [4489] 5′-GGTGCAGGAAGGGTGGGATCCTCTTCTCTCGCTGCTCTGGCCACATC-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 520)  
     [4490] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification with one of the PCR primer pairs identified above. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO846 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers. RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human fetal kidney tissue (LIB227).  
     [4491] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO846 [herein designated as DNA44196-1353] (SEQ ID NO: 516) and the derived protein sequence for PRO846.  
     [4492] The entire nucleotide sequence of UNQ422 (DNA44196-1353) is shown in FIG. 329 (SEQ ID NO: 516). Clone UNQ422 (DNA44196-1353) contains a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 25-27 and ending at the stop codon at nucleotide positions 1021-1023 (FIG. 329). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 332 amino acids long (FIG. 330). The full-length PRO846 protein shown in FIG. 330 has an estimated molecular weight of about 36,143 daltons and a pI of about 5.89. Important regions of the amino acid sequence of PRO846 include the signal peptide, the transmembrane domain, an N-glycosylation site, a sequence typical of fibrinogen beta and gamma chains C-terminal domain, and a sequence typical of Ig like V-type domain as shown in FIG. 330. Clone UNQ422 (DNA44196-1353) has been deposited with ATCC and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209847.  
     EXAMPLE 174  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO363  
     [4493] A consensus sequence was obtained relative to a variety of EST sequences as described in Example 1 above, wherein the consensus sequence obtained is herein designated DNA42828. Based on the DNA42828 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO363.  
     [4494] A pair of PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:  
                              forward PCR primer (42828.f1)               5′-CCAGTGCACAGCAGGCAACGAAGC-3′   (SEQ ID NO:521)               reverse PCR primer (42828.r1)       5′-ACTAGGCTGTATGCCTGGGTGGGC-3′   (SEQ ID NO:522)          
 
     [4495] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization probe was constructed from the consensus DNA42828 sequence which had the following nucleotide sequence  
     [4496] hybridization probe (42828.p1)  
     [4497] 5′-GTATGTACAAAGCATCGGCATGGTTGCAGGAGCAGTGACAGGC-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 523)  
     [4498] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification with the PCR primer pair identified above. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO363 gene using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the PCR primers. RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human fetal kidney tissue (LIB227).  
     [4499] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO363 [herein designated as UNQ318 (DNA45419-1252)] (SEQ ID NO: 500) and the derived protein sequence for PRO363.  
     [4500] The entire nucleotide sequence of UNQ318 (DNA45419-1252) is shown in FIG. 313 (SEQ ID NO: 500). Clone UNQ318 (DNA45419-1252) contains a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 190-192 and ending at the stop codon at nucleotide positions 1309-1311 (FIG. 313). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 373 amino acids long (FIG. 314). The full-length PRO363 protein shown in FIG. 314 has an estimated molecular weight of about 41,281 daltons and a pI of about 8.33. A transmembrane domain exists at amino acids 221 to 254 of the amino acid sequence shown in FIG. 314 (SEQ ID NO: 501). The PRO363 polypeptide also possesses at least two myelin P0 protein domains from about amino acids 15 to 56 and from about amino acids 87 to 116. Clone UNQ318 (DNA45419-1252) has been deposited with ATCC on Feb. 5, 1998 and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 209616.  
     [4501] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length PRO363 polypeptide suggests that it possesses significant sequence similarity to the cell surface protein HCAR, thereby indicating that PRO363 may be a novel HCAR homolog. More specifically, an analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35) evidenced significant homology between the PRO363 amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences, HS46KDA — 1, HSU90716 — 1, MMCARH — 1, MMCARHOM — 1, MMU90715 — 1, A33_HUMAN, P_W14146, P_W14158, A42632 and B42632.  
     EXAMPLE 175  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding a Human PRO9828  
     [4502] A consensus DNA sequence was assembled relative to other nucleic sequences using phrap as described in Example 1 above. This consensus sequence is herein designated DNA139814. Based on the DNA139814 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for PRO9828. Forward and reverse PCR primers generally range from 20 to 30 nucleotides and are often designed to give a PCR product of about 100-1000 bp in length. The probe sequences are typically 40-55 bp in length. In some cases, additional oligonucleotides are synthesized when the consensus sequence is greater than about 1-1.5 kbp. in order to screen several libraries for a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification, as per Ausubel et al.,  Current Protocols in Molecular Biology,  supra, with the PCR primer pair. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the gene of interest using the probe oligonucleotide and one of the primer pairs.  
     [4503] PCR primers (forward and reverse) were synthesized:  
                              5′-AATCTCAGCACCAGCCACTCAGAGCA-3′   (SEQ ID NO:524)                   5′-GTTAAAGAGGGTGCCCTTCCAGCGA-3′   (SEQ ID NO:525)               5′-TATCCCAATGCCTCCCCACTGCTC-3′   (SEQ ID NO:526)               5′-GATGAACTTGGCGAAGGGGCGGCA-3′   (SEQ ID NO:527)          
 
     [4504] RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human fetal liver tissue. The cDNA libraries used to isolate the cDNA clones were constructed by standard methods using commercially available reagents such as those from Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif. The cDNA was primed with oligo dT containing a NotI site, linked with blunt to SalI hemikinased adaptors, cleaved with NotI, sized appropriately by gel electrophoresis, and cloned in a defined orientation into a suitable cloning vector (such as pRKB or pRKD; pRK5B is a precursor of pRK5D that does not contain the SfiI site; see, Holmes et al.,  Science,  253:1278-1280 (1991)) in the unique XhoI and NotI sites.  
     [4505] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above gave the full-length DNA sequence for a full-length PRO9828 polypeptide (designated herein as DNA142238-2768 [FIG. 323, SEQ ID NO: 510]) and the derived protein sequence for that PRO9828 polypeptide.  
     [4506] The full length clone identified above contained a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 232-234 and a stop signal at nucleotide positions 985-987 (FIG. 323, SEQ ID NO: 510). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 251 amino acids long, has a calculated molecular weight of approximately 27,954 daltons and an estimated pI of approximately 9.22. Analysis of the full-length PRO9828 sequence shown in FIG. 324 (SEQ ID NO: 511) evidences the presence of a variety of important polypeptide domains as shown in FIG. 324, wherein the locations given for those important polypeptide domains are approximate as described above. Chromosome mapping evidences that the PRO9828-encoding nucleic acid maps to chromosome 12p13 in humans. Clone DNA142238-2768 has been deposited with ATCC on Oct. 5, 1999 and is assigned ATCC deposit no. 819-PTA.  
     [4507] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35), using the ALIGN-2 sequence alignment analysis of the full-length sequence shown in FIG. 324 (SEQ ID NO: 511), evidenced sequence identity between the PRO9828 amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences: P_Y08581, AB018122 — 1, FGF3_HUMAN, P_R70824, S54407, P_R80780, P_Y23761, P_W92312, OMFGF6 — 1 and P_R80871.  
     EXAMPLE 176  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding a Human PRO7170  
     [4508] DNA108722-2743 was identified by applying a proprietary signal sequence finding algorithm developed by Genentech, Inc. (South San Francisco, Calif.) upon ESTs as well as clustered and assembled EST fragments from public (e.g., Genbank) and/or private (LIFESEQ®, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Palo Alto, Calif.) databases. The signal sequence algorithm computes a secretion signal score based on the character of the DNA nucleotides surrounding the first and optionally the second methionine codon(s) (ATG) at the 5′-end of the sequence or sequence fragment under consideration. The nucleotides following the first ATG must code for at least 35 unambiguous amino acids without any stop codons. If the first ATG has the required amino acids, the second is not examined. If neither meets the requirement, the candidate sequence is not scored. In order to determine whether the EST sequence contains an authentic signal sequence, the DNA and corresponding amino acid sequences surrounding the ATG codon are scored using a set of seven sensors (evaluation parameters) known to be associated with secretion signals.  
     [4509] Use of the above described signal sequence algorithm allowed identification of an EST cluster sequence from the LIFESEQ® database, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, designated herein as CLU57836. This EST cluster sequence was then compared to a variety of expressed sequence tag (EST) databases which included public EST databases (e.g., Genbank) and a proprietary EST DNA database (LIFESEQ®, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif.) to identify existing homologies. The homology search was performed using the computer program BLAST or BLAST2 (Altshul et al.,  Methods in Enzymology  266:460-480 (1996)). Those comparisons resulting in a BLAST score of 70 (or in some cases 90) or greater that did not encode known proteins were clustered and assembled into a consensus DNA sequence with the program “phrap” (Phil Green, University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.). The consensus sequence obtained therefrom is herein designated DNA58756.  
     [4510] In light of an observed sequence homology between the DNA58756 sequence and an EST sequence encompassed within clone no. 2251462 from the LIFESEQ® database, Incyte Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, Calif., clone no. 2251462 was purchased and the cDNA insert was obtained and sequenced. It was found herein that that cDNA insert encoded a full-length protein. The sequence of this cDNA insert is shown in FIG. 325 and is herein designated as DNA108722-2743.  
     [4511] Clone DNA108722-2743 contains a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 60-62 and ending at the stop codon at nucleotide positions 1506-1508 (FIG. 325). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 482 amino acids long (FIG. 326). The full-length PRO7170 protein shown in FIG. 326 has an estimated molecular weight of about 49,060 daltons and a pI of about 4.74. Analysis of the full-length PRO7170 sequence shown in FIG. 326 (SEQ ID NO: 513) evidences the presence of a variety of important polypeptide domains as shown in FIG. 326, wherein the locations given for those important polypeptide domains are approximate as described above. Clone DNA108722-2743 has been deposited with ATCC on Aug. 17, 1999 and is assigned ATCC Deposit No. 552-PTA.  
     [4512] An analysis of the Dayhoff database (version 35.45 SwissProt 35), using the ALIGN-2 sequence alignment analysis of the full-length sequence shown in FIG. 326 (SEQ ID NO: 513), evidenced sequence identity between the PRO7170 amino acid sequence and the following Dayhoff sequences: P_Y12291, I47141, D88733 — 1, DMC56G7 — 1, P_Y11606, HWP1_CANAL, HSMUC5BEX — 1, HSU78550 — 1, HSU70136 — 1, and SGS3_DROME.  
     EXAMPLE 177  
     Isolation of cDNA Clones Encoding Human PRO361  
     [4513] A consensus DNA sequence was assembled relative to other EST sequences using phrap as described in Example 1 above. This consensus sequence is herein designated DNA40654. Based on the DNA40654 consensus sequence, oligonucleotides were synthesized: 1) to identify by PCR a cDNA library that contained the sequence of interest, and 2) for use as probes to isolate a clone of the full-length coding sequence for PR0361.  
     [4514] Forward and reverse PCR primers were synthesized as follows:  
                                  forward PCR primer   5′-AGGGAGGATTATCCTTGACCTTTGAAGACC-3′   (SEQ ID NO:528)                   forward PCR primer   5′-GAAGCAAGTGCCCAGCTC-3′   (SEQ ID NO:529)               forward PCR primer   5′-CGGGTCCCTGCTCTTTGG-3′   (SEQ ID NO:530)               reverse PCR primer   5′-CACCGTAGCTGGGAGCGCACTCAC-3′   (SEQ ID NO:531)               reverse PCR primer   5′-AGTGTAAGTCAAGCTCCC-3′   (SEQ ID NO:532)          
 
     [4515] Additionally, a synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization probe was constructed from the consensus DNA40654 sequence which had the following nucleotide sequence  
     [4516] hybridization probe  
     [4517] 5′- GCTTCCTGACACTAAGGCTGTCTGCTAGTCAGAATTGCCTCAAAAAGAG-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 533)  
     [4518] In order to screen several libraries for a source of a full-length clone, DNA from the libraries was screened by PCR amplification with one of the PCR primer pairs identified above. A positive library was then used to isolate clones encoding the PRO361 gene using the probe oligonucleotide. RNA for construction of the cDNA libraries was isolated from human fetal kidney tissue.  
     [4519] DNA sequencing of the clones isolated as described above gave the full-length DNA sequence for PRO361 [herein designated as DNA45410-1250] (SEQ ID NO: 514) and the derived protein sequence for PRO361.  
     [4520] The entire nucleotide sequence of DNA45410-1250 is shown in FIG. 327 (SEQ ID NO: 514). Clone DNA45410-1250 contains a single open reading frame with an apparent translational initiation site at nucleotide positions 226-228 and ending at the stop codon at nucleotide positions 1519-1521 (FIG. 327). The predicted polypeptide precursor is 431 amino acids long (FIG. 328). The full-length PRO361 protein shown in FIG. 328 has an estimated molecular weight of about 46,810 daltons and a pI of about 6.45. In addition, regions of interest including the transmembrane domain (amino acids 380-409) and sequences typical of the arginase family of proteins (amino acids 3-14 and 39-57) are designated in FIG. 328. Clone DNA45410-1250 has been deposited with ATCC and is assigned ATCC deposit no. ATCC 209621.  
     [4521] Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the full-length PRO361 polypeptide suggests that portions of it possess significant homology to the mucin and/or chitinase proteins, thereby indicating that PRO361 may be a novel mucin and/or chitinase protein.
