<p>The invention is a method that allows the detection of cancer cells in a cell or tissue sample. One step in the invention is the determination of whether there are cells in the S- or G2-phases of the cell cycle in the sample that contain 'cyclin E-type-protein'. The method is based on a determination of the level of 'cyclin E-type-protein' in the individual cells in the sample together with a determination of the level of a 'post G1-substance', i.e. a substance present exclusively in S and/or G2 cells. The sample can be assumed to contain cancer cells if 'cyclin E-type-protein' is found in cells in S and/or G2. A high percentage of cells containing 'cyclin E-type-protein' in S and/or G2 is an indication that the tumour cells are highly malignant.</p> |
