Certain cells, including cancer cells such as cells from cancers of the colon, breast, lung, ovary, prostate, pancreas and skin are capable of expressing BCLP. Targeting using BCLP polypeptides, nucleic acids encoding for BCLP polypeptides, anti-BCLP antibodies, peptides and small molecules provides a method of killing or inhibiting the growth of the cancer cells that express the BCLP protein. Methods for the diagnosis and therapy of tumors that express BCLP are described. |
