1. A method of diagnosing lung, pancreatic, or esophageal cancer, comprising detecting expression of a tumor-associated antigen in a biological sample, wherein the tumor-associated antigen is selected from the group consisting of:
- (i) the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO;
16; and
(ii) the polypeptide encoded by the nucleic acid of SEQ ID NO;
7,wherein detection of the tumor-associated antigen in a biological sample isolated from a patient in an amount greater than an amount of the tumor-associated antigen in a normal biological sample indicates the presence of lung, pancreatic, or esophageal cancer.

Abstract
The invention relates to the identification of genetic products expressed in association with tumors and to coding nucleic acids for the expressed products. An embodiment of the invention also relates to the therapy and diagnosis of disease in which the genetic products are aberrantly expressed in association with tumors, proteins, polypeptides and peptides which are expressed in association with tumors, and to the nucleic acids coding for the polypeptides, peptides and proteins.
