Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a compound and a method for the treatment and diagnosis of cancer such as breast cancer. SOLUTION: The compound may comprise one or more breast tumor proteins, immunogenic portions thereof, or polynucleotides that encode the portions. Alternatively, a therapeutic composition may comprise an antigen presenting cell that expresses the breast tumor protein, or a T cell that is specific for cells expressing the protein. The composition may be used, for example, for the prevention and treatment of diseases such as the breast cancer. There is also provided a diagnostic method based on a step of detecting the breast tumor protein, or mRNA encoding the protein. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
