Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9822825A2] This invention provides a method of detecting a subject having ovarian or breast cancer, comprising the following steps: a) obtaining a whole blood sample from the subject; b) incubating the whole blood sample in a culture in the presence of a media containing a mitogen with or without antigen, so as to induce polyclonal and specific activation of lymphocytic cells leading to antibody production; c) exposing the resultant culture of step b) to a specific tumor antigen, thereby allowing an antigen-antibody immune complex to form; d) detecting the antigen-antibody immune complex of step c); wherein the presence of tumor antigen associated antibody is indicative of the subject having the cancer.
