Patent ID: 7968689

Claim:
An isolated antibody or fragment thereof that binds specifically to an isolated HSDEK49 polypeptide selected from the group consisting of: (a) a polypeptide consisting of amino acid residues 1 to 399 of SEQ ID NO:1373; (b) a polypeptide consisting of amino acid residues 2 to 399 of SEQ ID NO:1373; (c) a polypeptide consisting of amino acid residues 20 to 399 of SEQ ID NO:1373; (d) a polypeptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of the full-length polypeptide, which amino acid sequence is encoded by the cDNA contained in ATCC™ Deposit No:209603, which was deposited on Jan. 29, 1998; (e) a polypeptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of the HSDEK49 polypeptide, excluding the N-terminal methionine residue, which amino acid sequence is encoded by a polynucleotide contained within the cDNA contained in ATCC™ Deposit No:209603, which was deposited on Jan. 29, 1998; (f) a polypeptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of the HSDEK49 polypeptide, excluding the leader sequence of the polypeptide, which amino acid sequence is encoded by a polynucleotide contained within the cDNA contained in ATCC™ Deposit No:209603, which was deposited on Jan. 29, 1998; (g) an extracellular domain of the polypeptide consisting of amino acid residues 1 to 399 of SEQ ID NO:1373; and (h) an extracellular domain of the polypeptide, which amino acid sequence is encoded by a polynucleotide, which is contained in the cDNA contained in ATCC™ Deposit No:209603, which was deposited on Jan. 29, 1998.
