The radioimmunoassay of circulating carcinoembryonic antigen of the human digestive system.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A radioimmunoassay has been developed for determining the serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen of the human digestive system in patients with cancer of the colon and rectum. The assay is simple to perform and has a high degree of reproducibility and specificity. The test detects a concentration of 2.5 ng of carcinoembryonic antigen per ml of serum and this has provided the first demonstration of a circulating tumor-specific antigen in the sera of cancer patients.

Correlation of carcinoembryonic antigen content with carboxylesterase activity in benign and malignant human tissues.
SUMMARY Quantitative analyses were made of carcinoembryonic antigen using radioimmunoassay and of carboxylesterase using chemical and immunochemical methods in normal and malignant human digestive tract tissues. Metastatic and primary carcinomatous tissue extracts with high carcinoembry onic antigen activities had increased esterase activities com pared with normal colon, liver, and pancreas. A...
متن کاملAn aptasensor based on electrosynthesized conducting polymers, Cu2O–carbon dots and biosynthesized gold nanoparticles, for monitoring carcinoembryonic antigen
Current work proposes an inimitable composite, with great electrical conductivity and quite enhanced surface area, (including conducting polymers (poly (cathechol)), Cu2O–carbon dots and green synthesized gold nanoparticles) for detecting acute carcinoembryonic antigen. At current work, the electropolymerization was offered instead of enzyme-catalyzed polymerization of poly (catechol). <b...

The aim of this study was to determine reference values of carcinoembryonic antigen and cancer antigen in 32 clinically healthy bitches. The average age of the bitches in each group was as follows: small breeds 3.50 ± 2.30, medium breeds 3.83 ± 3.21, large breeds 6.00 ± 3.22 and giant breeds 2.40 ± 2.43. The average weight in each group was as follows: 1st group 7.94 kg ± 1.84, 2nd group 22.38 ...
متن کاملEvaluation of chimpanzee antiserum to human carcinoembryonic antigen.
An adult chimpanzee (Pan troglodyte) with an endogenous circulating carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level of 60 ng/ml was immunized s.c. with human CEA. After 1 year of immunizations, the anti-human CEA antibody titer had plateaued. This chimpanzee antiserum demonstrated high avidity specific recognition of human CEA and showed ionic strength effects for CEA recognition similar to those previous...

The appearance of anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) activity in the sera of hamsters bearing i.m. heterografts of GW-39, a CEA-producing colonic tumor of human origin, was demonstrated in radioimmunoassay using radioiodinated CEA purified from GW-39. Column chromatography, sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation, and radioimmunoelectrophoresis of pooled sera from tumor-bearing hamsters showed th...
