OBJECTIVE To study diagnostic significance of blood serum cancer antigens levels in patients who subsequently develop pulmonary cancer (PC) and gastrointestinal cancer (GIC). METHODS ELISA was used to study expression of tumor antigens (CEA, NSE, CA19-9, CA242, AFP) in the blood serum of 27 PC and 31 GIC patients; 22 patients with lymphatic tumors and 32 patients with pulmonary and gastrointestinal inflammation served control. After removal of the tumor the same antigens including cytokeratines (CK) and differentiated leukocytic markers were studied immunocytochemically in the tumor cells with relevant monoclonal antibodies. RESULTS Sera of patients with verified afterwards cancer contained elevated concentrations of the antigens: NSE and CEA in PC, CA19-9, CA242 in GIC. The expression of these antigens including CK was found also in tumor cells of these patients. Atypical cells of lymphatic tumors had hemopoietic markers in the absence of CK. In inflammation and in lymphatic tumors, tumor antigens levels remained normal. CONCLUSIONS The test for tumor antigens levels in the serum may be used for early (preoperative) diagnosis of cancer, especially in tumors with difficult access or if they are asymptomatic.

D007633 Keratins A class of fibrous proteins or scleroproteins that represents the principal constituent of EPIDERMIS; HAIR; NAILS; horny tissues, and the organic matrix of tooth ENAMEL. Two major conformational groups have been characterized, alpha-keratin, whose peptide backbone forms a coiled-coil alpha helical structure consisting of TYPE I KERATIN and a TYPE II KERATIN, and beta-keratin, whose backbone forms a zigzag or pleated sheet structure. alpha-Keratins have been classified into at least 20 subtypes. In addition multiple isoforms of subtypes have been found which may be due to GENE DUPLICATION.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
