Immunoassay for detecting cells producing intestinal mucin antigen

摘要

In vitro detection of cancer or other cells which produce mucin antigens, comprises treating a physiological fluid sample so as to detect the presence of SIMA (small intestine mucin antigen) and/or LIMA (large intestine mucin antigen). The method esp. comprises the detection of binding between the antigen and labelled specific antibodies or their fragments. Also new are test kits for the pocess.
