The present invention provides novel polypeptides, termed MBSPX polypeptides , as well as polynucleotides encoding MBSPX polypeptides and antibodies that immunospecifically bind to an MBSPX or a derivative, variant, mutant, or fragment of an MBSPX polypeptide, polynucleotide or antibody. The invention additionally provides methods in which the MBSPX polypeptide, polynucleotide and antibody are used in detection and treatment of a broad range of pathological states, as well as to other uses.
