First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An isolated antibody that recognizes and immunologically binds to a polypeptide consisting of SEQ ID NO: 3; SEQ ID NO: 4; SEQ ID NO: 8; SEQ ID NO: 9; SEQ ID NO: 10; or SEQ ID NO: 11, or an amino acid sequence that is at least 95% identical thereto, wherein the antibody is either bound to a solid support or a detectable label. 2. The antibody of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is a monoclonal antibody, is comprised in polyclonal antisera, or is an antibody fragment. 3. The antibody of claim 2 , wherein the antibody is a monoclonal antibody. 4. The antibody of claim 2 , wherein the antibody is comprised in polyclonal antisera. 5. The antibody of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide consists of SEQ ID NO:3. 6. The antibody of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide consists of SEQ ID NO:4. 7. The antibody of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide consists of SEQ ID NO:8. 8. The antibody of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide consists of SEQ ID NO:9. 9. The antibody of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide consists of SEQ ID NO:10. 10. The antibody of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide consists of SEQ ID NO:11. 11. The antibody of claim 1 , wherein the detectable label is a radioactive label, a fluorescent label, a chemiluminescent label, an enzyme label, or a paramagnetic label.
