Topology of NGEP, a Prostate-Specific Cell:Cell Junction Protein Widely Expressed in Many Cancers of Different Grade Level
1 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
New gene expressed in prostate (NGEP) is a prostate-specific polytopic membrane protein found at high concentrations at cell:cell contact regions. To determine if NGEP is a useful target for antibody-based therapy of prostate cancer, we performed an immunohistochemical analysis of 126 human prostate carcinoma samples using polyclonal anti-NGEP sera and found that 91% of the cancers express NGEP protein. To...
