     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention concerns nucleic acid sequences which code for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) antigen family peptide sequences. 
     2. Background Information 
     Carcinoembryonic antigen was first described by Gold and Freedman, J. Exp. Med., 121, 439-462, (1965). CEA is characterized as a glycoprotein of approximately 200,000 molecular weight with 50-60% by weight of carbohydrate. CEA is present during normal human fetal development, but only in very low concentration in the normal adult intestinal tract. It is produced and secreted by a number of different tumors. 
     CEA is a clinically useful tumor marker for the management of colorectal cancer patients. CEA can be measured using sensitive immunoassay methods. When presurgical serum levels of CEA are elevated, a postsurgical drop in serum CEA to the normal range typically indicates successful resection of the tumor. Postsurgical CEA levels that do not return to normal often indicated incomplete resection of the tumor or the presence of additional tumor sites in the patient. After returning to normal levels, subsequent rapid rises in serum CEA levels usually indicate the presence of mestastages. Slower postsurgical rises from the normal level are most often interpreted to indicate the presence of new primary tumors not previously detected. Post surgical management of colon cancer patients is thus facilitated by the measurement of CEA. 
     CEA is a member of an antigen family. Because of this, the immunoassay of CEA by presently available methods is complicated by the fact that CEA is but one of several potentially reactive antigens. There have been at least sixteen CEA-like antigens described in the literature. Since some of these appear to be the same antigen described by different investigators, the actual number of different antigens is somewhat less than this number. Nonetheless, there is a complex array of cross-reactive antigens which can potentially interfere with an immunoassay of the CEA released by tumors. It is known that serum levels of CEA-like antigens are elevated in many non-cancerous conditions such an inflammatory liver diseases and also in smokers. It is important that immunoassays used for the monitoring of cancer patient status not be interfered with by these other CEA-like antigens. Conversely, it is important to be able to distinguish the antigens by immunoassays because of the possibility that different tumor types may preferentially express different forms of CEA. If so, then the ability of reliably measure the different forms of CEA can provide the means to diagnose or more successfully treat different forms of cancer. 
     The members of the &#34;CEA family&#34; share some antigenic determinants. These common epitopes are not useful in distinguishing the members of the antigen family and antibodies recognizing them are of little use for measuring tumor-specific CEA levels.

     Nucleotide--A monomeric unit of DNA or RNA containing a sugar moiety (pentose), a phosphate, and a nitrogenous heterocyclic base. The base is linked to the sugar moiety via the glycosidic carbon (1&#39; carbon of the pentose) and that combination of base and sugar is called a nucleoside. The base characterizes the nucleotide. The four DNA bases are adenine (&#34;A&#34;), guanine (&#34;G&#34;), cytosine (&#34;C&#34;), and thymine (&#34;T&#34;). The four RNA bases are A, G, C and uracil (&#34;U&#34;). 
     DNA Sequence--A linear array of nucleotides connected one to the other by phosphodiester bonds between the 3&#39; and 5&#39; carbons of adjacent pentoses. 
     Functional equivalents--It is well known in the art that in a DNA sequence some nucleotides can be replaced without having an influence on the sequence of the expression product. With respect to the peptide this term means that one or more amino acids which have no function in a particular use can be deleted or replaced by another one. 
     Codon--A DNA sequence of three nucleotides (a triplet) which encodes through mRNA an amino acid, a translation start signal or a translation termination signal. For example, the nucleotide triplets TTA, TTG, CTT, CTC, CTA and CTG encode the amino acid leucine (&#34;Leu&#34;), TAG, TAA and TGA are translation stop signals and ATG is a translation start signal. 
     Reading Frame--The grouping of codons during translation of mRNA into amino acid sequences. During translation, the proper reading frame must be maintained. For example, the sequence GCTGGTTGTAAG may be translated in three reading frames or phases, each of which affords a different amino acid sequence ##STR1## 
     Polypeptide--A linear array of amion acids connected one to the other by peptide bonds between the alpha-amino and carboxy groups of adjacent amino acids. 
     Genome--The entire DNA of a cell or a virus. It includes inter alia the structural genes coding for the polypeptides of the cell or virus, as well as its operator, promoter and ribosome binding and interaction sequences, including sequences such as the Shrine-Dalgarno sequences. 
     Structural Gene--A DNA sequence which encodes through its template or messenger RNA (&#34;mRNA&#34;) a sequence of amino acids characteristic of a specific polypeptide. 
     Transcription--The process of producing mRNA rom a structural gene. 
     Translation--The process of producing a polypeptide from mRNA. 
     Expression--The process undergone by a structural gene to produce a polypeptide. It is a combination of transcription and translation. 
     Plasmid--A non-chromosomal double-stranded DNA sequence comprising an intact &#34;replicon&#34; such that the plasmid is replicated in a host cell. When the plasmid is placed within a unicellular organism, the characteristics of that organism may be changed or transformed as a result of the DNA of the plasmid. For example, a plasmid carrying the gene for tetracycline resistance (Tet®) transforms a cell previously sensitive to tetracycline into one which is resistant to it. A cell transformed by a plasmid is called a &#34;transformant&#34;. 
     Phage or Bacteriophage--Bacterial virus, many of which consist of DNA sequences encapsulated in a protein envelope or coat (&#34;capsid protein&#34;). 
     Cloning Vehicle--A palsmid, phage DNA or other DNA sequence which is capable of replicating in a host cell, which is characterized by one or a small number of endonuclease recognition sites at which such DNA sequences may be cut in a determinable fashion without attendant loss of an essential biological function of the DNA, e.g., replication, production of coat proteins or loss of promoter or binding sites, and which contains a marker suitable for use in the identification of transformed cells, e.g., tetracycline resistance or ampicillin resistance. A cloning vehicle is often called a vector. 
     Cloning--The process of obtaining a population of organisms of DNA sequences derived from one such organism or sequence by asexual reproduction. 
     Recombinant DNA Molecule or Hybrid DNA--A molecule consisting of segments of DNA from different genomes which have been joined end-to-end outside of living cells and have the capacity to infect some host cell and be maintained therein. 
     cDNA Expression Vector--A procaroytic cloning vehicle which also contains sequences of nucleotides that facilitate expression of cDNA sequences in eucaroytic cells. These nucleotides include sequences that function as eucaryotic promoter, alternative splice sites and polyadenylation signals. 
     Transformation/Transfection--DNA or RNA is introduced into cells in such a way as to allow gene expression. &#34;Infected&#34; referred to herein concerns the introduction of RNA or DNA by a viral vector into the host. 
     &#34;Injected&#34; referred to herein concerns the microinjection (use of a small syringe) of DNA into a cell. 
     CEA antigen family (CEA gene family)--a set of genes (gene family) and their products (antigen family) that share nucleotide sequences homologous to partial cDNA LV-7 (CEA-(a)) and as a result of theses similarities also share a subset of their antigenic epitopes. Examples of the CEA antigen family include CEA (=CEA-(b)), transmembrane CEA (TMCEA)=CEA-(c) and normal crossreacting antigen NCA (=CEA-(d)).

     A schematic relationship of th transmembrane CEA&#39;s, namely TM-1 (CEA-(c)), TM-2 (CEA-(e)), TM-3 (CEA-(f)) and TM-4 (CEA-(g)) is depicted in FIG. 1: 
     Assuming TM-1 is composed of five sections as depicted in FIG. 1, namely 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18, TM-2 differs from TM-1 in that the 100 amino acid (100 AA) section 14 is deleted and at splice point 20 between sections 12 and 16, surprisingly an extra amino acid, namely Asp occurs. 
     TM-3 is the same as TM-1 except that section 18 is truncated at splice point 22, i.e., a section of 70 amino acids is deleted and results in a new section made up of subsections 24+26. Surprisingly, however, six new amino acids (section 26) occur. Another example of formation of a novel amino acid sequence resulting from a deletion of nucleic acid sequence is for platelet derived growth factor-A. 
     TM-4 is the same as TM-2 up until the end of subsection 24. 
     Subsection 24 is contained in section 18 of TM-1 and TM-2, but is not depicted in FIG. 1 for TM-1 and TM-2. 
     Some CEA epitopes are unique. These are the epitopes which have been useful for distinguishing the various CEA-like antigens immunologically. Peptide epitopes are defined by the linear amino acid sequence of the antigen and/or features resulting from protein folding. The information required for protein folding is encoded in the primary amino acid sequence. Therefore, antigenic differences ultimately result from differences in the primary structure of the different CEA molecules. The differences residing in the CEA protein in the CEA species can thus be determined by determining the primary amino acid sequences. This can be most readily accomplished by cloning and sequencing each of the genes for CEA. To determine which gene products will be most useful for cancer diagnosis, unique probes can be selected from each gene and expression of each gene can be determined in different tumor types by nucleic acid hybridization techniques. The present invention provides a tool with which to identify potential genes coding for different members of the CEA family and to determine the theoretical primary amino acid sequences for them. Using the method of automated peptide synthesis, peptides can then be synthesized corresponding to unique sequences in these antigens. With these peptides, antibodies to these sequences can be produced which, in the intact CEA molecule, might not be recognized by the animal being immunized. Having accomplished this, advantage can then be taken of the differences in these antigens to generate specific immunoassays for the measurement of each antigen. 
     A wide variety of host/cloning vehicle combinations may be employed in cloning the double-stranded nucleic acid prepared in accordance with this invention. For example, useful cloning vehicles may consist of segments of chromosomal, non-chromosomal and synthetic DNA sequences, such as various known derivatives of SV40 and known bacterial plasmids, e.g., plasmids from E. coli including col E1, pCR1, pBR322, pMB89 and their derivatives, wider host range plasmids, e.g., RP4, and phage DNAs, e.g., the numerous derivatives of phage, e.g., NM989, and other DNA phages, e.g., M13 and Filamenteous single-stranded DNA phages and vectors derived from combinations of plasmids and phage DNAs such as plasmids which have been modified to employ phage DNA or other expression control sequences or yeast plasmids such as the 2 μplasmid or derivatives thereof. Useful hosts may include bacterial hosts such as strains of E. coli, such as E. coli HB 101, E. coli X1776, E. coli X2282, E. coli MRC1 and strains of Pseudomonas, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus stearothermophilus and other E. coli, bacilli, yeasts and other fungi, animal or plant hosts such as animal (including human) or plant cells in culture or other hosts. Of course, not all host/vector combinations may be equally efficient. The particular selection of host/cloning vehicle combination may be made by those of skill in the art after due consideration of the principles set forth without departing from the scope of this invention. 
     Furthermore, within each specific cloning vehicle, various sites may be selected for insertion of the nucleic acid according to the present invention. These sites are usually designated by the restriction endonuclease which cuts them. For example, in pBR322 the Pstl site is located in the gene for beta-lactamase, between the nucleotide triplets that code for amino acids 181 and 182 of that protein. One of the two HindII endonuclease recognition sites is between the triplets coding for amino acids 101 and 102 and one of the several Taq sites at the triplet coding for amino acid 45 of beta-lactamase in pBR322. In similar fashion, the EcoRI site and the PVUII site in this plasmid lie outside of any coding region, the EcoRl site being located between the genes coding for resistance to tetracycline and ampicillin, respectively. These sites are well recognized by those of skill in the art. It is, of course, to be understood that a cloning vehicle useful in this invention need not have a restriction endonuclease site for insertion of the chosen DNA fragment. Instead, the vehicle could be cut and joined to the fragment by alternative means. 
     The vector or cloning vehicle and in particular the site chosen therein for attachment of a selected nucleic acid fragment to form a recombinant nucleic acid molecule is determined by a variety of factors, e.g., the number of sites susceptible to a particular restriction enzyme, the size of the protein to be expressed, the susceptibility of the desired protein to proteolytic degradation by host cell enzymes, the contamination of the protein to be expressed by host cell proteins difficult to remove during purification, the expression characteristics, such as the location of start and stop codons relative to the vector sequences, and other factors recognized by those of skill in the art. The choice of a vector and an insertion site for a particular gene is determined by a balance of these factors, not all sections being equally effective for a given case. 
     Methods of inserting nucleic acid sequences into cloning vehicles to form recombinant nucleic acid molecules include, for example; da-dT tailing, direct ligation, synthetic linkers, exonuclease and polymerase-linked repair reactions followed by ligation, or extension of the nucleic acid strand with an appropriate polymerase and an appropriate single-stranded template followed by ligation. 
     It should also be understood that the nucleotide sequences or nucleic acid fragments inserted at the selected site of the cloning vehicle may include nucleotides which are not part of the actual structural gene for the desired polypeptide or mature protein or may include only a fragment of the complete structural gene for the desired protein or mature protein. 
     The cloning vehicle or vector containing the foreign gene is employed to transform an appropriate host so as to permit that host to replicate the foreign gene and to express the protein coded by the foreign gene or portion thereof. The selection of an appropriate host is also controlled by a number of factors recognized by the art. These include, for example, the compatibility with the chosen vector, the toxicity of proteins encoded by the hybrid plasmid, the ease of recovery of the desired protein, the expression characteristics, biosafety and costs. A balance of these factors must be struck with the understanding that not all hosts may be equally effective for expression of a particular recombinant DNA molecule. 
     The level of production of a protein is governed by two major factors: the number of copies of its gene within the cell and the efficiency with which these gene copies are transcribed and translated. Efficiency of transcription and translation (which together comprise expression) is in turn dependent upon nucleotide sequences, normally situated ahead of the desired coding sequence. These nucleotide sequences or expression control sequences define inter alia, the location at which RNA polymerase interacts to initiate transcription (the promoter sequence) and at which ribosomes bind and interact with the mRNA (the product of transcription) to initiate translation. Not all such expression control sequences function with equal efficiency. It is thus of advantage to separate the specific coding sequences for the desired protein from their adjacent nucleotide sequences and fuse them instead to other known expression control sequences so as to favor higher levels of expression. This having been achieved, the newly engineered nucleic acid, e.g., DNA, fragment may be inserted into a multicopy plasmid or a bacteriophage derivative in order to increase the number of gene copies within the cell and thereby further improve the yield of expressed protein. 
     Several expression control sequences may be employed as described above. These include the operator, promoter and ribosome binding and interaction sequences (including sequences such as the Shine-Dalgarno sequences) of the lactose operon of E. coli (&#34;the lac system&#34;), the corresponding sequences of the tryptophan synthetase system of E. coli (&#34;the trp system&#34;), the major operator and promoter regions of phase λ(O L  P L  and O R  P&#39; R ), the control region of Filamenteous singlestranded DNA phages, or other sequences which control the expression of genes of prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells and their viruses. Therefore, to improve the production of a particular polypeptide in an appropriate host, the gene coding for that polypeptide may be selected and remove from a recombinant nucleic acid molecule containing it and reinserted into a recombinant nucleic acid molecule closer or in a more appropriate relationship to its former expression control sequence or under the control of one of the above described expression control sequences. Such methods are known in the art. 
     As used herein &#34;relationship&#34; may encompass many factors, e.g., the distance separating the expression enhancing and promoting regions of the recombinant nucleic acid molecule and the inserted nucleic acid sequence, the transcription and translation characteristics of the inserted nucleic acid sequence or other sequences in the vector itself, the particular nucleotide sequence of the inserted nucleic acid sequence and other sequences of the vector and the particular characteristics of the expression enhancing and promoting regions of the vector. 
     Further increases in the cellular yield of the desired products depend upon an increase in the number of genes that can be utilized in the cell. This is achieved, for illustration purposes, by insertion of recombinant nucleic acid molecules engineered into the temperature bacteriophage λ(NM989), most simply by digestion of the plasmid with a restrictive enzyme, to give a linear molecule which is then mixed with a restricted phage λ cloning vehicle (e.g., of the type described by N. E. Murray et al, &#34;Lambdoid Phages That Simplify the Recovery of In Vitro Recombinants&#34;, Molec. Gen. Genet., 150, pp. 53-61 (1977) and N. E. Murray et al. &#34;Molecular Cloning of the DNA Ligase Gene From Bacteriophage T4&#34;, J. Mol. Biol., 132, pp. 493-505 (1979)) and the recombinant DNA molecule recircularized by incubation with DNA ligase. The desired recombinant phage is then selected as before and used to lysogenize a host strain of E. coli. 
     Particularly useful λ cloning vehicles contain a temperature-sensitive mutation in the repression gene cl and suppressible mutations in gene S, the product of which is necessary for lysis of the host cell, and gene E, the product of which is major capsid protein of the virus. With this system, the lysogenic cells are grown at 32° C. and then heated to 45° C. to induce excision of the prophage. Prolonged growth at 37° C. leads to high levels of production of the protein, which is retained within the cells, since these are not lysed by phage gene products in the normal way, and since the phage gene insert is not encapsulated it remains available for further transcription. Artificial lysis of the cells then releases the desired product in high yield. 
     In addition, it should be understood that the yield of polypeptides prepared in accordance with this invention may also be improved by substituting different codons for some or all of the codons of the present DNA sequences, these substituted codons coding for amino acids identical to those coded for the codons replaced. 
     Finally, the activity of the polypeptides produced by the recombinant nucleic acid molecules of this invention may be improved by fragmenting, modifying or derivatizing the nucleic acid sequences or polypeptides of this invention by well-known means, without departing from the scope of this invention. 
     The polypeptides of the present invention include the following: 
     (1) the polypeptides expressed by the above described cells, 
     (2) polypeptides prepared by synthetic means, 
     (3) fragments of polypeptides (1) or (2) above, such fragments produced by synthesis of amino acids or by digestion or cleavage. 
     Regarding the synthetic peptides according to the invention, chemical synthesis of peptides is described in the following publications: S. B. H. Kent, Biomedical Polymers, eds. Goldberg, E. P. and Nakajima, A. (Academic Press, New York), 213-242, (1980); A. R. Mitchell, S. B. H. Kent, M. Engelhard and R. B. Merrifield, J. Org. Chem., 43, 2845-2852, (1978); J. P. Tam, T. -W. Wong, M. Riemen, F. -S. Tjoeng and R. B. Merrifield, Tet. Letters, 4033-4036, (1979); S. Mojsov, A. R. Mitchell and R. B. Merrifield, J. Org. Chem., 45, 555-560, (1980); J. P. Tam, R. D. DiMarchi and R. B. Merrifield, Tet. Letters, 2851-2854, (1981); and S. B. H. Kent, M. Riemen, M. Le Doux and R. B. Merrifield, Proceedings of the IV International Symposium on Methods of Protein Sequence Analysis, (Brookhaven Press, Brookhave, N.Y.), in press, 1981. 
     In the Merrifield phase procedure, the appropriate sequence of L-amino acids ia guilt up from the carboxyl terminal amino acid to the amino terminal amino acid. Starting with the appropriate carboxyl terminal amino acid attached to a polystyrene (or other appropriate) resin via chemical linkage to a chloromethyl group, benzhydrylamine group, or other reactive group of the resin, amino acids are added by one using the following procedure. The peptide-resin is: 
     (a) washed with methylene chloride; 
     (b) neutralized by making for 10 minutes at room temperature with 5% (v/v) diisopropylethylamine (or other hindered base) in methylene chloride; 
     (c) washed with methylene chloride; 
     (d) an amount of amino acid equal to six times the molar amount of the growing peptide chain is activated by combining it with one-half as many moles of a carbodiimide (e.g., dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, or diisopropylcarbodiimide) for ten minutes at 0° C., to form the symmetric anhydride of the amino acid. The amino acid used should be provided originally as the N-alpha-tert.-butyloxycarbonyl derivative, with side chains protected with benzyl esters (e.g., aspartic or glutamic acids), benzyl ethers (e.g., serine, threonine, cysteine or tyrosine), benzyloxycarbonyl groups (e.g., lysine) or other protecting groups commonly used in peptide synthesis; 
     (e) the activated amino acid is reacted with the peptide-resin for two hours at room temperature, resulting in addition of the new amino acid to the end of the growing peptide chain; 
     (f) the peptide-resin is washed with methylene chloride; 
     (g) the N-alpha-(tert.-butyloxycarbonyl) group is removed from the most recently added amino acid by reacting with 30 to 65%, preferably 50% (v/v) trifluoroacetic acid in methylene chloride for 10 to 30 minutes at room temperature; 
     (h) the peptide-resin is washed with methylene chloride; 
     (i) steps (a) through (h) are separated until the required peptide sequence has been constructed. 
     The peptide is then removed from the resin and simultaneously the side-chain protecting groups are removed, by reaction with anhydrous hydrofluoric acid containing 10% v/v of anisole or other suitable (aromatic) scavenger. Subsequently, the peptide can be purified by gel filtration, ion exchange, high pressure liquid chromatography, or other suitable means. 
     In some cases, chemical synthesis can be carried out without the solid phase resin, in which case the synthetic reactions are performed entirely in solution. The reactions are similar and well known in the art, and the final product is essentially identical. 
     Digestion of the polypeptide can be accomplished by using proteolytic enzymes, especially those enzymes whose substrate specificity results in cleavage of the polypeptide at sites immediately adjacent to the desired sequence of amino acids. 
     Cleavage of the polypeptide can be accomplished by chemical means. Particular bonds between amino acids can be cleaved by reaction with specific reagents. Examples include the following: bonds involving methionine are cleaved by cyanogen bromide; asparaginyl-glycine bonds are cleaved by hydroxylamine. 
     The present invention has the following advantages: 
     (1) The nucleic acids coding for TM-1, Tm-2 and TM-3 can be used as probes to isolate other members of the CEA gene family. 
     (2) The nucleic acids coding for TM-1, TM-2 and TM-3 can be used to derive oligonucleotide probes to determine the expresssion of TM-1, TM-2, TM-3 and other CEA genes in various tumor types. 
     (3) TM-1, TM-2, TM-3 and TM-4 nucleotide sequences can be used to predict the primary amino acid sequence of the protein for production of synthetic peptides. 
     (4) Synthetic peptides derived from the above sequences can be used to produce a sequence-specific antibodies. 
     (5) Immunoassays for each member of the CEA antigen family can be produced with these sequence-specific antibodies and synthetic peptides. 
     (6) The aforementioned immunoassays can be used as diagnostics for different types of cancer if it is determined that different members of the CEA family are clinically useful markers for different types of cancer. 
     Peptides according to the present invention can be labelled by conventional means using radioactive moieties (e.g.,  125  I), enzymes, dyes and fluorescent compounds, just to name a few. 
     Several possible configurations for immunoassays according to the present invention can be used. The readout systems capable of being employed in these assays are numerous and non-limiting examples of such systems include fluorescent and colorimetric enzyme systems, radioisotopic labelling and detection and chemiluminescent systems. Two examples of immunoassay methods are as follows: 
     (1) An enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA) using an antibody preparation according to the present invention (including Fab or F(ab)&#39; fragments derived therefrom) to a solid phase (such as a microtiter plate or latex beads) is attached a purified antibody of a specificity other than that which is conjugated to the enzyme. This solid phase antibody is contacted with the sample containing CEA antigen family members. After washing, the solid phase antibody-antigen complex is contacted with the conjugated anti-peptide antibody (or conjugated fragment). After washing away unbound conjugate, color or fluorescence is developed by adding a chromogenic or fluorogenic substrate for the enzyme. The amount of color or fluorescence developed is proportional to the amount of antigen in the sample. 
     (2) A competitive fluorometric immunoassay using fluorescently labelled peptide or synthetic peptides of the sequences for TM-2, TM-2, TM-3 and TM-4. In this example, the purified peptide expressed by cells or synthetic peptides thereof are fluorescently labelled. To a solid phase is attached a purified antibody. This solid phase is then contacted with sample containing CEA antigen family members to which has been added fluorescent peptide probe. After binding, excess probe is washed away the amount of bound probe is quantitated. The amount of bound fluorescent probe will be inversely proportional to the amount of antigen in the sample. 
     In the nucleic acid hybridization method according to the present invention, the nucleic acid probe is conjugated with a label, for example, an enzyme, a florophore, a radiostope, a chemiluminescent compound, etc. In the most general case, the probe would be contacted with the sample and the presence of any hybridizable nucleic acid sequence would be detected by developing in the presence of a chromogenic enzyme substrate, detection of the fluorophore by epifluorescence, by autoradiography of the radioisotopically labelled probe or by chemiluminescence. The detection of hybridizable RNA sequences can be accomplished by (1) a dot blot methodology or (2) an in situ hybridization methodology. Methods of these last two techniques are described by D. Gillespie and J. Bresser, &#34;mRNA Immobilization in NaI: Quick Blots&#34;, Biotechniques, 184-192, November/December 1983 and J. Lawrence and R. Singer, &#34;Intracellular Localization of Messenger RNAs for Cytosketal Proteins&#34;, Cell, 45, 407-415, May 9, 1986, respectively. The readout systems can be the same as described above, e.g., enzyme labelling, radiolabelling, etc. 
     As stated above, the invention also relates to the use in medicine of the aforementioned complex of the invention. 
     The invention further provides a pharmaceutical composition containing as an active ingredient a complex of the invention in the form of a sterile and/or physiologically isotonic aqueous solution. 
     For parenteral administration, solutions and emulsions containing as an active ingredient the complex of the invention should be sterile and, if appropriate, blood-isotonic. 
     It is envisaged that the active complex will be administered perorally, parenterally (for example, intramuscularly, intraperitoneally, or intravenously), rectally or locally.

     RNA Preparation 
     Messenger RNA was prepared by the proteinase K extraction method of J. Favolaro, R. Treisman and R. Kamen, Methods in Enzymology, 65, 718, Academic Press, Inc. (1980), followed by olido dT cellulose chromatography to yield poly A+ RNA (3&#39;-polyadenylated eukaryotic RNA containing most mRNA sequences that can be translated into polypeptides). To obtain approximately 100 μg of poly A+ RNA, approximately ×10 8  cells of transfectant 23.411 (ATCC No. CRL 9731, deposited with the ATCC on Jun. 1, 1988), that expresses TM-1, TM-2, TM-3 and TM-4, Kamarck et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., USA, 84, 5350-5354, August 1987, were harvested from roller bottles after late logarithmic growth. Cells were lysed by homogenization in an ice-cold solution of 140 mM NaCl, 1.5 mM MgCl 2 , 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 0.5% NP40, 4 mM dithiothreitol and 20 units of placental ribonuclease inhibitor/ml. sodium deoxycholate was then added to 0.2 %. Cytoplasm and nuclei were separated by centrifugation of the homogenate at 12,000×g for 20 minutes. The cytoplasmic fraction was mixed with an equal volume of 0.2 M Tris-HCl, pH 7.8, 25 mM EDTA, 0.3 M NaCl, 2% sodium dodecyl sulfate and 400 μg/ml of proteinase K, incubated for 1 hour at 37° C., then extracted once with an equal volume of phenol/chloroform (1:1/v:v) solution. Nucleic acids were obtained by ethanol precipitation of the separated aqueous phase. Total RNA was enriched by passage in 0.5 M NaCl, 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.8, 0.1% sarcosyl through an oligo dT(12-18) cellulose column. After washing, bound RNA was eluted in the same solution without sodium chloride.

The RNA component of the cDNA/mRNA hybrids was replaced with the second complementary strand by treatment with RTNase H, E. coli DNA polymerase I and E. coli DNA ligase at 12° C. and 22° C. for 1.5 hours each. Molecular ends were polished by treatment with T4 DNA polymerase. cDNA was phenol/chloroform extracted and purified over a &#34;SEPHADEX G-50&#34; spun column prepared in 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.8, 1 mM EDTA (TE).

The nucleic acid and translated sequence for cDNA in HT-6 not complete at the 5&#39; end of its coding region, but the nucleotide sequence and restriction map of the HT-6 inset indicates that it is related to nucleic acid sequences of cDNA clones coding for CEA-(c) and CEA-(e). The nucleotide sequence of HT-6 insert differs from these clones at only nucleotide position 1463 to 1515 and 1676 to 2429 of the CEA-(c) cDNA. It is inferred from this result that the pcHT-6 insert is a partial coding sequence for CEA-(f) and the presumed nucleic acid and translated sequence of CEA-(f) is given hereinabove (TM-3 (CEA-(f)).

Phage from individual plaques are amplified and titered, and these are used to prepare small quantities of recombinant phage DNA. 
     Example 3e 
     DNA Manipulation 
     Phage DNA is prepared according to T. Maniatis, E. Fritsch and J. Sambrook, Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor, (1982). DNA segments are isolated from low melting agarose gels and inserted for subcloning into Bluescript plasmid vectors (Stratagene, San Diego, Calif., U.S.A.). DNA sequencing is performed by the dideoxy termination method of F. Sanger, S. Nicklen and A. Coulson, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., U.S.A., 74, 5463-5467, (1977). The nucleotide and translated sequence for a cDNA coding for CEA-(g) is given hereinabove (TM-4 (CEA-(g)). 
     EXAMPLE 4 
     Screening of KG-1 cDNA Library with  32  P-labelled CEA Probe, LV7 (CEA-(A)) 
     A segment of cDNA coding for a portion of carcinoembryonic antigen [LV7 or CEA-(a)] was radiolabelled by random priming and used to detect homologous sequences on filter replicas of a commercial cDNA library prepared from KG-1 cells in bacteriophage vector λgt11 (Clontech Laboratories, Inc., Palo Alto, Calif., U.S.A.). Hybridizations were performed at 68° C. in 2×SSSPE (1×SSPE--0.15 M NaCl, 0.01 M sodium phosphate and 1 mM EDTA, pH 7), 5×Denhardt&#39;s solution and 100 μg of denatured salmon sperm DNA per ml, and post-hybridization washes were in 0.2×SSC, 0.25% sodium dodecyl sulfate. 
     Positive phage were picked, rescreened to homogeneity, and amplified for production of DNA. cDNA inserts were excised from phage DNA with EcoRI enconuclease and subcloned into the EcoRI site of the plasmid vector pBluescript KS. DNA sequencing on double-stranded DNA was by the method of Sanger et al, supra. The sequences of two different inserts from the KG-1 cDNA library are shown below: ##STR11## which has been designated SEQ ID No:8 and SEQ ID No:16 for the translated polypeptide. ##STR12## which has been designated SEQ ID No:9 and SEQ ID No:17 for the translated polypeptide. 
     It will be appreciated that the instant specification and claims are set forth by way of illustration and not limitation and that various modifications and changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
