Reagents for Assay Development. Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. More than half of all cancer deaths each year are due to lung, stomach, liver, colorectal and female breast cancers. If recent trends in major cancers continue globally in the future, the burden of cancer will increase by 68% over the next 15 years. The high cancer mortality rates are primarily due to a delayed detection of the disease and differences in the policies on cancer screening between countries.

Respiratory Infections & Diagnosis
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. More than half of all cancer deaths each year are due to lung, stomach, liver, colorectal and female breast cancers. If recent trends in major cancers continue globally in the future, the burden of cancer will increase by 68% over the next 15 years. The high cancer mortality rates are primarily due to a delayed detection of the disease and differences in the policies on cancer screening between countries.
Early detection is the key focus of cancer diagnostics and an early diagnosis makes it possible to cure the disease completely and/or increase survival rates. However, the financial burden associated with the cost of managing and treating cancer is a growing concern. Non-invasive techniques such as serum immunoassays detecting specific tumor markers are highly sought after in order to minimize the costs associated with screening and monitoring the disease. They provide fast, cost-effective, and accurate cancer detection while providing a valuable aid to the clinician and increased comfort to the patient. Cancer biomarkers (also called tumor markers) are proteins produced either by the tumor itself or by the body in response to the presence of cancer. They can be broadly classified into four groups: (1) screening and early detection, (2) diagnostic confirmation, (3) prognosis and prediction of therapeutic response, and (4) monitoring disease and recurrence. Over the past decade, an improved understanding of carcinogenesis and tumor progression has revealed a large number of potential tumor markers. Some markers are associated with only one type of cancer, whereas others are associated with two or more cancer types. No “universal” tumor marker that can detect any type of cancer has been discovered.

Beta 2 Microglobulin (B2M) B2M is a protein involved with MHC class I molecules which is found on the surface of almost all nucleated cells. Elevated levels of B2M are noted in lymphoproliferative disorders, neoplasms (malignant and benign), inflammatory disease, and autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjögren’s disease. For cancer, it is not diagnostic for a specific type, but it has been associated with the amount of cancer present (tumor burden) and can be used as a prognostic tumor marker for some blood cell cancers.

Cadherin-E Cadherin-E is a calcium dependent cell adhesion molecule expressed predominately in epithelial tissues. It plays an important role in the growth and development of cells via the mechanisms of tissue architecture and the maintenance of tissue integrity. It is an important determinant of tumor progression, serving as a suppressor of invasion and metastasis (loss of Cadherin-E function promotes tumor progression).

Cancer Antigen 19-9 (CA19-9)
Cancer Antigen CA72-4 (TAG-72)
Also called sialylated Lewis (a) antigen, CA19-9 is a tumor marker used primarily in the management of pancreatic cancer. CA19-9 is also elevated in many types of gastrointestinal cancer, such as colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. Apart from cancer, elevated levels may also occur in pancreatitis, cirrhosis, and diseases of the bile ducts. Monoclonals • Suitable for IHC • Produced in in vivo M01237M Antibody Pairs • Suitable for use in ELISA • MAbs produced in vivo (unless otherwise noted) CAPTURE DETECTION
CA72-4 is a mucinous glycoprotein used as a tumor marker for gastric carcinoma and ovarian cancer (clinical studies demonstrated diagnostic specificity of more than 95%). Elevated CA72-4 levels in serum and plasma have also been reported in other cancers including carcinomas of the pancreas, stomach, gallbladder, colon, cervix and endometrium. There is a good correlation between serologic CA72-4 levels and tumor stage and size. It has been used as an independent marker for the therapeutic monitoring and follow-up care of ovarian cancer patients, in particular in CA125 negative patients. Antibody Pairs

Cancer Antigen 242 (CA242)
CA242 is related to the sialylated Lewis (a) blood group antigen (Ag-CA19-9) but it is chemically and immunologically distinct. It is used as a tumor marker for the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. It has been demonstrated that the CA242 and CA19-9 epitopes are co-expressed on the same mucins, however the detailed structure of the CA242 epitope has not been established. CA242 is suggested to be more specific than CA19-9 in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and overall there are differences in the relative expression of CA19-9 and CA242 between benign and malignant diseases and between carcinomas of various organs.

CD8 CD8 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that serves as a co-receptor for the T-cell receptor. CD8-positive T-cells represent a major arm of the cell-mediated anti-tumor response and a promising target for developing T-cell-based immunotherapies against lung cancer. The chronic presence of lung tumors induces dysfunctions in CD8-positive T-cells and sensitizes them to activation-induced cell death, which may be associated with poor clinical responses.
