Abstract

The present invention provides a kit and method for diagnosing a cancer using a polynucleotide including a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID No: 1 or 3 or a partial sequence thereof, a polypeptide consisting of an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No: 2 or 4 or a partial sequence thereof, or an antibody binding specifically to a polypeptide consisting of an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No: 2 or 4 or a partial sequence thereof. This makes it possible to find a CT antigen useful for testing, diagnosis, or treatment of a digestive system cancer and to develop a novel cancer diagnostic technique using the CT antigen.
