A method was required for the quantification of a novel oncodevelopmental antigen which increases in the serum of pregnant women as well as patients with ovarian cancer. The native antigen is composed of two components having alpha 2 and beta electrophoretic mobilities. An assay method, involving electroimmunodiffusion according to Laurell, was developed for the measurement of the alpha 2 component of the antigen. The method is sufficiently sensitive to determine significant differences in the levels of antigen in the serum of non-pregnant and pregnant subjects, and patients with ovarian cancer. In addition to routine quantitation, the technique will also be an indispensable analytical tool in the purification of the protein.
需要一种方法来定量一种新型的肿瘤发生发展抗原,这种抗原在孕妇以及卵巢癌患者的血清中含量会增加。天然抗原由具有α2和β电泳迁移率的两种成分组成。开发了一种根据劳雷尔方法进行免疫电泳扩散的检测方法,用于测量抗原的α2成分。该方法灵敏度足够高,能够确定非孕妇、孕妇以及卵巢癌患者血清中抗原水平的显著差异。除了常规定量外,该技术在蛋白质纯化过程中也将是一种不可或缺的分析工具。
