DETECTING CANCER WITH ANTI-CXCL13 AND ANTI-CXCR5 ANTIBODIES

摘要

Methods for diagnosing cancer in a subject are disclosed. The method includes detecting the level of expression of one or more cancer markers in a biological sample obtained from the subject; and comparing the level of expression of the one or more cancer markers in the biological sample to a normal level of expression of the one or more cancer markers.

1. A method for detecting the presence of cancer in a subject, comprising:
detecting the level of expression of one or more cancer marker in a biological sample obtained from said subject; and comparing the level of expression of said one or more cancer markers in said biological sample to a normal level of expression of said one or more cancer markers, wherein a higher than normal level of expression of said one or more cancer markers in said biological sample is indicative of the presence of cancer in said subject, wherein said normal level of expression of said one or more cancer markers is a predetermined value or is obtained from a control sample of known normal non-cancerous cells of the same origin or type as said biological sample, and wherein said cancer is carcinoma, and wherein said one or more cancer markers comprises CXCL13 or CXCR5 or both CXCL13 and CXCR5.
