ABSTRACT:
The existence and status of cancers in humans can be detected by assaying for viral related proteins in plasma samples. Suitable viral related proteins include the enzyme RNA-dependent DNA polymerase (reverse transcriptase) or an extracellular tumor associated protein which is of viral origin. The aforesaid enzyme and tumor associated protein are immunologically cross-reactive with antibodies to Mason-Pfizer Monkey Virus (MPMV) and murine mammary tumor virus (MMTV) which thereby provide a convenient source of reagents for the instant method.
