Disclosed are genes whose expression is increased in hepatocellular carcinoma, and polypeptides encoded by these genes. Vectors, transformants, and methods for making recombinant polypeptides. Probes and primers for these genes, and antibodies to this polypeptide. Use of such probes, primers, and antibodies as reagents for detecting hepatocellular carcinoma, and a method for detecting hepatocellular carcinoma. Antisense nucleotide sequences for these genes. These sequences are used to inhibit the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma. [Selection figure] None |
