Claim:
A method for detecting the presence of a polypeptide in a protein sample, comprising a) contacting a protein sample to be screened with an antibody that selectively binds to a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:4, SEQ ID NO:6, SEQ ID NO:8, SEQ ID NO:10, SEQ ID NO:12, SEQ ID NO:14, SEQ ID NO:16, SEQ ID NO:18, SEQ ID NO:20, SEQ ID NO:22, and SEQ ID NO:24 under conditions that promote antibody-antigen complex formation; and b) detecting the formation of antibody-antigen complexes, wherein the presence of the antibody-antigen complex indicates the presence of a polypeptide comprising a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:4, SEQ ID NO:6, SEQ ID NO:8, SEQ ID NO:10, SEQ ID NO:12, SEQ ID NO:14, SEQ ID NO:16, SEQ ID NO:18, SEQ ID NO:20, SEQ ID NO:22, and SEQ ID NO:24.
