Abstract
The present invention provides polynucleotides, as well as polypeptides encoded thereby, that are differentially expressed in breast cancer cells. These polynucleotides are useful in a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic methods. The present invention further provides methods of reducing growth of breast cancer cells. These methods are useful for treating breast cancer.

9. A method for detecting a cancerous cell, said method comprising:
- detecting a level of DKFZp566I133 or fragment thereof in a test sample obtained from a cell of a subject,
comparing the level of DKFZp566I133 to a control level of DKFZp5661133, wherein the presence of a cancerous cell is indicated by detection of said level and comparison to a control level of DKFZp566I133. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

21. A method for identifying an agent that modulates a biological activity of a gene product differentially expressed in a cancerous cell as compared to a normal cell, said method comprising:
- contacting a candidate agent with a DKFZp566I133; and
detecting modulation of a biological activity of DKFZp566I133 relative to a level of biological activity of DKFZp566I133 in the absence of the candidate agent. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
