  • Anti-tumor agent assay using PKR
    Patent number: 5670330
    Abstract: A method of screening human tissue for the presence of neoplastic cells, by determining the activity of PKR, P58 of anti-P58 in test cells being screened, and identifying candidate neoplastic cells on the basis of subnormal PKR, P58, or anti-P58 activity. The activities may be determined directly by measuring protein kinase activity or its equivalent, or measured indirectly, by detecting functional mutations in the various proteins. Also disclosed are assay kits for carrying out the screening method.
