Circulating secretory component in breast neoplasms. 1987

D Kvale, and T O Rognum, and E Thorud, and S D Fosså, and J S Rø, and P Brandtzaeg

The serum concentrations of IgAp and IgMr associated secretory component (SIgA and SIgM) of 98 patients with neoplasms of the breast were measured. Of the 56 patients with carcinomas, 11 had increased concentrations of circulating SIgM, which was almost twice as sensitive as SIgA as a marker for carcinoma. Concentrations of circulating SIgA and SIgM were independent of expression of secretory component, IgA, and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA); histological tumour grade; and tumour cell DNA ploidy, whereas a weak correlation between SIgA and SIgM and circulating CEA was seen. The three patients who had liver metastases indicated had particularly high concentrations of circulating SIgA and SIgM, whereas no difference was generally seen between patients with malignancy and those with benign tumours.

D002272 Carcinoembryonic Antigen A glycoprotein that is secreted into the luminal surface of the epithelia in the gastrointestinal tract. It is found in the feces and pancreaticobiliary secretions and is used to monitor the response to colon cancer treatment.

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.
