ABSTRACT:
A method for diagnosing prostate cancer in a mammal is described. Serum from a mammal is provided. PSA is added to this serum, and the amount of ACT-PSA complex formed is measured. It is determined if the mammal has prostate cancer based on the amount of ACT-PSA complex that is formed. An isolated prostate cancer specific form of ACT which is capable of forming a stable complex with PSA is also described.
