Is Earlier Detection of Cancers Such as Glioma Possible?
Oncolab, Inc.’s AMAS® Test is a commercially available blood test that may allow early detection of a wide range of human cancers. It detects a circulating, cancer-specific antibody, the Anti-malignin antibody, in human serum. Oncolab has been granted additional patent claims covering advances in its antibody and antigen detection techniques, as well as potential vaccine applications of the technology. Boston, MA (PRWEB) May 21, 2008 — Oncolab, Inc.’s AMAS® Test is a commercially available blood test that may allow early detection of a wide range of human cancers. It detects a circulating, cancer-specific antibody, the Anti-malignin antibody, in human serum. Anti-malignin is a normal antibody in humans which has been found to increase with age, as the risk of cancer increases. During the early stages of cancer, Anti-malignin antibody increases markedly in concentration. Determining the concentration of this antibody is the basis for the AMAS Test for early detection of cancer. This te
