Title: The recognition of human bronchogenic carcinomas. Author: Stark M, Stiller-Winkler R, Idel H, Schlipköter HW. Journal: Cancer Detect Prev; 1983; 6(1-2):167-72. PubMed ID: 6883377. Abstract: Xenotransplants of human carcinomas were tested for consistency of the analytical data of tumor markers over several passages in nude mice and nude rats. The binding properties of antibodies against tumor-associated antigens present in sera from tumor-bearing patients were tested with aid of the anticomplement immunofluorescence. The best binding capacity was found when sera from patients with bronchogenic carcinomas reacted on xenotransplants of the digestive tract (70%). Because of the low values for controls as well as for inflammatory diseases, this test may be applicable in the early recognition of lung cancer.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
