Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for detecting endometriosis in a patient, and to improve invasive and expensive surgical procedures. SOLUTION: The method employs immunoassays which detect autoantibodies in a serum sample which react with Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen (Tf). Increased levels of autoantibodies in a serum sample from the patient which bind to Tf-like antigen is indicative of endometriosis in the patient. A method of treating endometriosis in a patient comprises administering to the patient a Tf-like antigen or an antibody that specifically binds a Tf-like antigen. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
