A composition called 36P6D5 and its encoded tumor antigen, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic methods, and compositions useful in the management of various cancers expressing 36P6D5 gene products. A method for detecting the presence of a cancer that expresses 36P6D5 protein, the step of determining the level of 36P6D5 protein expressed by cells in a test tissue sample from an individual, and the thus determined Comparing the level to the level of 36P6D5 expressed in the corresponding normal sample, wherein the presence of increased 36P6D5 protein in the test sample relative to the normal sample is indicative of the presence of such cancer in the individual. A method is provided for indicating presence. [Selection figure] None |
