    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polypeptide comprising a component A with at least three tumor necrosis factor (TNF) homology domains of TNF-ligand family members (THD) in which C-terminal and N-terminal reference points are defined by consensus sequences and which are connected through short stretches of additional C-terminal and/or N-terminal amino acids of the THD or variants thereof, and a component B comprising a dimerization domain. Further, the present invention relates to a polypeptide comprising at least three THDs in which C-terminal and N-terminal reference points are defined by consensus sequences and which are connected through short stretches of additional C-terminal and/or N-terminal amino acids of the THD or variants thereof. Further, the invention relates to a nucleic acid comprising said polypeptides, a vector comprising said nucleic acid and a pharmaceutical composition comprising said polypeptides, or said nucleic acids or said vector. Further, the present invention relates to said polypeptides, said nucleic acid or said vector for the use as a medicament or for the use in the diagnosis, prophylaxis or treatment of hyperproliferative disorders and inflammatory disorders.

    Abstract: An isolated truncated desmoglein 4 (DSG4) polypeptide splice variant of the invention is characterized by an amino acid sequence that lacks a region encoded before exon 9 or beyond exon 10 of the DSG4 gene having the polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 75. Also disclosed is a method of diagnosing a cancer, or monitoring the course thereof, in a patient. The method comprises detecting in a tissue sample of a patient the expression of a tumor-associated antigen comprising the extracellular domain of a DSG4 polypeptide encoded by a DSG4 gene having the polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 75, or a truncated DSG4 polypeptide splice variant characterized by an amino acid sequence that lacks a region encoded before exon 9 or beyond exon 10 of the DSG4 gene.

    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for de-differentiating somatic cells into stem-like cells without generating embryos or fetuses. More specifically, the present invention provides methods for effecting the de-differentiation of somatic cells to cells having stem cell characteristics, in particular pluripotency, by introducing RNA encoding factors inducing the de-differentiation of somatic cells into the somatic cells and culturing the somatic cells allowing the cells to de-differentiate.

    Abstract: The present invention provides agents with tumor-inhibiting activity, and which are selective for cells expressing or abnormally expressing a tumor-associated antigen. Said tumor-associated antigen has a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of: (a) a nucleotide sequence selected from the specific sequences set forth herein, or a 6-50 contiguous nucleotide residue portion thereof; (b) a nucleotide sequence of a nucleic acid which hybridizes with a nucleic acid having the nucleotide sequence of (a) under stringent conditions; (c) a nucleotide sequence which is degenerate with respect to the nucleotide sequence of (a) or (b); and (d) a nucleotide sequence which is complementary to the nucleotide sequence of (a), (b) or (c). Pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising the agents are also provided, as well as methods treating, diagnosing or monitoring a disease characterized by expression or abnormal expression of the tumor-associated antigen.
