QUANTITATION OF URINARY TISSUE FACTOR FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND SCREENING OF CANCER

摘要

We provide a novel technological approach for quantitation of c-terminal fragment of uTF for the purpose of quantitation, diagnosis and population screening of cancer. We provide a rationale for measuring c-terminal fragment, methods for making assays, monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies, together with accepted methods of sample preparation. Taken together these proposals and ideas constitute a novel approach for diagnosis and population screening for cancers using urine from cancer patients. In addition we believe that our approach may be useful in the diagnosis of other pathological conditions.
