The present invention relates to nucleic acids and polypeptides associatedwith lung cancer. The invention is more specifically related to the nucleicacids and the polypeptides transcribed thereof, the expression of which issignificantly altered in association with lung cancer. The invention relatesto a series of differentially spliced transcripts of the gene disclosedherein, that are associated with tumors of the respiratory tract. Furthermorethe present invention provides a method for early diagnosis, prognosis andmonitoring of the disease course and for therapy and vaccination of cellproliferative disorders such as e.g. lung tumors.
