Patent ID: 8173381

Claim:
An in vitro method for comparing the amount of an 85P1B3 protein comprising a sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:728 or polynucleotide comprising a sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:727 in a test sample and a corresponding normal sample comprising: contacting the sample with an antibody or polynucleotide, respectively, that specifically binds to the 85P1B3 protein or polynucleotide, respectively; and detecting binding of 85P1B3 protein or polynucleotide, respectively, in the sample thereto, wherein the presence of elevated 85P1B3 polynucleotide or protein in the test sample relative to the normal tissue sample provides an indication of growth dysregulation in the test sample, the test and normal tissue samples are selected from the group consisting of serum, blood or urine and tissues of the prostate, testis, kidney, brain, bone, skin, ovary, breast, pancreas, colon, and lung.
