Abstract
A set of contiguous and partially overlapping RNA sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as LU103 and transcribed from lung tissue is described. A fully sequenced clone representing the longest continuous sequence of LU103 is also disclosed. These sequences are useful for detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, preventing or treating, or determining the predisposition of an individual to diseases and conditions of the lung such as lung cancer.
