Image: Staining with the monoclonal antibody TAB-004 is so specific for most cases of mammary carcinoma, immunoreactivity in the tumor can be appreciated even without the microscope. OncoTAb’s blood test may be a useful supplemental test with mammography for women with dense breast tissue (Photo courtesy of OncoTab).

Blood Test Enables Earlier Detection of Breast Cancer

Extensive mammographic density may make breast cancer more difficult to detect by mammography and thus increases the risk of the development of cancer between mammographic screening tests.  More...

Image: Schematics of the magnetic particle quantification (MPQ) platform:  the antigen is the test protein (e.g., PSA). MP is the magnetic nanoparticle; the upside down Y is the antibody to the test protein. The test antibodies (the blue Ys) capture the test protein, and the control antibodies (the yellow Ys) capture the antibodies with the nanoparticles (Photo courtesy of Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology).

Biosensor Test System Developed Using Magnetic Nanoparticles

A new biosensor test system based on magnetic nanoparticles has been developed and it is designed to provide highly accurate measurements of the concentration of protein molecules in various samples, including opaque solutions or strongly colored liquids.  More...
