| abstract |
The present invention provides open reading frames encoding isolated polypeptides, as well as polynucleotides encoding ORFX and antibodies that immunospecifically bind to ORFX or any derivative, variant, mutant, or fragment of the ORFX polypeptides, polynucleotides or antibodies. The invention additionally provides methods in which the ORFX polypeptide, polynucleotide and antibody are used in detection and treatment of a broad range of pathological states, as well as to other uses. |
