Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002071065
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a diagnostic and/or prognostic reagent comprising a component which selectively binds to anti-prostasome autoantibodies, as well as an immunoassay using said reagent. Furthermore, the invention relates to an in vitro method for diagnosing and/or prognosticating a condition reflecting the prostasome presence in body fluids, comprising a) binding of anti-prostasome autoantibodies with a component which selectively binds to anti-prostasome autoantibodies; and b) detection of said binding. The conditions may be different forms of prostate cancer or prostasome-related diseases or other conditions where anti-prostasome autoantibodies are present in the body.
