Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1982/000525
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A method for determining tumor-associated glucose side chain (TAG) in the body fluid of mammals, a method for diagnosing tumors through the determination, and a kit for diagnosis of tumors. TAG specifically existing in the body fluid of a patient suffering from a tumor is reacted with lectin to form a TAG-lectin combination entity. The amount of the combination entity or of the remaining is measured to ascertain the presence or absence of tumor cells, the degree of cell growth and the vicissitudes of the cells, thus diagnosing a tumor. The use of a kit containing vegetable lectin and, in some cases, a stabilizer and/or a preservative is particularly convenient for determination of TAG.
