Melanoma-associated antigens as messenger RNA detection markers for melanoma.
Melanoma is heterogeneous for its biological properties and melanoma-associated antigens (MAAs). This diversity is partially observed in the expression of the MAAs involved with the melanin synthesis pathway. We therefore developed a sensitive multimarker reverse transcription-PCR plus Southern blot assay using five MAAs as molecular markers to detect primary and metastatic melanoma cells. Mela...
متن کاملMelanoma-associated retinopathy: a paraneoplastic autoimmune complication.
OBJECTIVES To study 11 patients with melanoma-associated retinopathy (MAR) to clarify the reliability of various methods of diagnostic testing, to determine the underlying antigenic retinal proteins, and to study the clinical histories and types of associated melanomas. METHODS Clinical data were obtained from patients with melanoma who developed marked visual problems. Testing included elect...
متن کاملParaneoplastic antigens as biomarkers for early diagnosis of ovarian cancer
Paraneoplastic syndromes are a group of rare disorders that can be triggered by an abnormal immune response to proteins from tumors of the lung, ovary, lymphatics, or breast. Paraneoplastic clinical syndromes affect < 1% of patients with cancer; however, the frequency of subclinical levels of paraneoplastic autoantibodies in asymptomatic patients with cancer is unknown. Numerous studies have re...
متن کاملCancer-Associated Carbohydrate Antigens as Potential Biomarkers for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common human malignancies. Therefore, developing the early, high-sensitivity diagnostic biomarkers to prevent HCC is urgently needed. Serum a-fetoprotein (AFP), the clinical biomarker in current use, is elevated in only ~60% of patients with HCC; therefore, identification of additional biomarkers is expected to have a significant impact on publi...
متن کاملTumor-associated antigens in human malignant melanoma.
Several studies have now clearly indicated the presence of tumor-associated and tumor-specific antigens in cells of human malignant melanoma. These antigens have been identified by means of several quite different techniques, including the use of antibodies detectable against the antigens, either by means of immunofluorescence, (1-5) cytotoxicity (4, 6, 7) or by extracting the antigen and obtai...
