titleOfInvention | Use of prostate tumor inducing gene for detection of cancer cells |
abstract | This invention provides a method for detecting cancer cells in a sample comprising detection of the expression of a Prostate Tumor Inducing Gene in the sample, wherein a positive detection of the expression indicates the presence of cancer cells in the sample. In an embodiment, the expression is performed by measuring the level of PTI mRNA. The mRNA is measured by reverse transcription - polymerase chain reaction using at least a pair of appropriate primers. It is well known in the art that once the sequence of the Prostate Tumor Inducing Gene is determined, appropriate pair of primers may be selected. This invention also provides the above method, wherein the expression is performed by measuring the level of PTI protein. The level of PTI protein is measured by steps of: a) contacting the sample with antibody capable of specifically recognizing PTI-1 protein under conditions permitting formation of complexes between the PTI-1 protein and the antibody; and b) measuring the complex formed, thereby measuring the level of PTI-1 protein expressed in the cancer cells. |
