METHOD FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC OF CANCER AND ENZYME-LINKED IMMUNOASSAY (ELISA) KIT FOR ITS APPLICATION

摘要

The invention relates to the field of medical diagnostics, immunology and oncology, in particular to the new tumor markers, useful in the early diagnosis of cancer and methods for cancer diagnostics. A new antigen for ELISA to detect antibodies associated with malignancies, namely, mature human plasminogen or human plasminogen fragments containing kringles. We propose a method of diagnosing cancer at an early stage by detecting autoantibodies of type IgA, IgG, IgM to human plasminogen or its fragments in a samples of human blood plasma or sera.
