The invention provides isolated anti-ovarian, pancreatic, lung or breast
cancer antigen (Pro104) antibodies that bind to Pro 104 on a mammalian
cell in vivo. The invention also encompasses compositions comprising an
anti-Pro104 antibody and a carrier. These compositions can be provided in
an article of manufacture or a kit. Another aspect of the invention is an
isolated nucleic acid encoding an anti-Pro 104 antibody, as well as an
expression vector comprising the isolated'l nucleic acid. Also provided
are cells that produce the anti-Pro 104 antibodies. The invention
encompasses a method of producing the anti-Pro 104 antibodies. Other
aspects of the invention are a method of killing a Pro 104-expressing
cancer cell, comprising contacting the cancer cell with an antiPro104
antibody and a method of alleviating or treating a Pro 104-expressing
cancer in a mammal, comprising administering a therapeutically effective
amount of the anti-Pro 104 antibody to the mammal.
