The present invention provides novel isolated NOVX polynucleotides and polypeptides encoded by the NOVX polynucleotides. Also provided are the antibodies that immunospecifically bind to a NOVX polypeptide or any derivative, variant, mutant or fragment of the NOVX polypeptide, polynucleotide or antibody. The invention additionally provides methods in which the NOVX polypeptide, polynucleotide and antibody are utilized in the detection and treatment of a broad range of pathological states, as well as to other uses. L'invention concerne des polynucléotides NOVX isolés ainsi que des polypeptides codés par ces polynucléotides NOVX. Elle concerne aussi les anticorps qui se lient de manière immunospécifique à un polypeptide NOVX, ainsi que tout dérivé, variant, mutant ou fragment de ces polypeptides, polynucléotides ou de ces anticorps. Elle concerne également des méthodes dans lesquelles ces polypeptides, polynucléotides et anticorps sont utilisés pour la détection et le traitement d'un large domaine d'états pathologiques, ainsi que pour d'autres utilisations.
