    Inventors: John F. R. Robertson, Andrea Murray, Caroline Chapman, Anthony Barnes
  • Patent number: 9696319
    Abstract: A method of determining the immune response of a mammal to circulating tumor marker proteins is described in which a sample of bodily fluid, for example plasma or serum, is contacted with a panel of two or more distinct tumor marker antigen. The presence of complexes between the tumor marker antigens and any autoantibodies to the antigens present in the sample are detected and provide an indication of an immune response to a circulating tumor marker protein. The method is useful for the diagnosis of cancer, particularly for identifying new or recurrent cancer in an otherwise assymptomatic patient.

  • Patent number: 8927223
    Abstract: The application generally relates to the field of diagnostic or prognostic assays and in particular relates to assays for the detection of antibodies in a sample comprising patient bodily fluid, wherein such antibodies are used as biological markers of a disease state or disease susceptibility. The assay is based on cross-titration of both the patient bodily fluid to be tested for the antibody and an antigen used to detect the antibody by specific binding.
    Type: Grant
