(57) [Summary]nDisclosed are compositions and methods for the detection and treatment of breast cancer. Provided compounds include nucleotide sequences that are preferentially expressed in breast tumor tissue, as well as polypeptides encoded by such nucleotide sequences. Vaccines and pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds are also provided and can be used, for example, for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. This polypeptide can also be used for the production of antibodies useful for diagnosing and monitoring progression in breast cancer patients. |
