Patent ID: 6955885

Claim:
An isolated antibody or fragment thereof that specifically binds to a protein selected from the group consisting of: (a) a protein whose amino acid sequence consists of the amino acid sequence of the full-length polypeptide encoded by the human cDNA clone contained in ATCC Deposit Number 75831; (b) a protein whose amino acid sequence consists of the amino acid sequence of the full-length polypeptide encoded by the human cDNA clone contained in ATCC Deposit Number 75831, excluding the N-terminal methionine residue; (c) a protein whose amino acid sequence consists of the amino acid sequence of the mature form of the polypeptide encoded by the human cDNA clone contained in ATCC Deposit Number 75831; (d) a protein whose amino acid sequence consists of the amino acid sequence of a portion of the full-length polypeptide encoded by the human cDNA clone contained in ATCC Deposit Number 75831, wherein said portion is at least 30 contiguous amino acid residues in length; and (e) a protein whose amino acid sequence consists of the amino acid sequence of a portion of the full-length polypeptide encoded by the human cDNA clone contained in ATCC Deposit Number 75831, wherein said portion is at least 50 contiguous amino acid residues in length.
