- 1. A method of detecting a cancer-associated transcript in a cell from a patient, comprising contacting a sample obtained from a patient with a polynucleotide that selectively hybridizes to a nucleic acid sequence as shown in Tables 1A-C.
- 11. An expression vector comprising a nucleic acid sequence as shown in Tables 1A-C.

-
24. A method for identifying a compound that modulates a cancer-associated polypeptide comprising the steps of:
-
a) contacting a compound with a cancer-associated polypeptide, the polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide sequence as shown in Tables 1A-C; and
b) determining the functional effect of the compound upon the polypeptide.
-
-
25. A drug screening assay comprising the steps of
a) administering a test compound to a mammal having a cancer, or a cell isolated therefrom; b) comparing the level of gene expression of a polynucleotide that selectively hybridizes to a sequence as shown in Tables 1A-C in a treated cell or mammal with the level of gene expression of the polynucleotide in a control cell or mammal, wherein a test compound that modulates the level of expression of the polynucleotide is a candidate for the treatment of the cancer.
