  • Methods of treating endometriosis
    Publication number: 20040001823
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for detecting endometriosis in a patient and is an improvement over invasive and expensive surgical procedures. The method employs immunoassays which detect autoantibodies in a serum sample which react with Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen (Tf). Increased levels of autoantibodies in a serum sample from the patient which bind to Tf-like antigen is indicative of endometriosis in the patient. The present invention also provides methods of treating endometriosis in a patient by administering to the patient a Tf-like antigen or an antibody that specifically binds a Tf-like antigen.
