ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method of screening for gastrointestinal cancer in a mammal comprising: (a) contacting a body fluid taken from the mammal with N3; (b) measuring the amount of antibody to N3 in the body fluid; and (c) determining if the amount of antibody measured in step (b) is higher than the amount of antibody to N3 normally present in the same type of body fluid taken from mammals of the same species that do not have cancer. The invention also provides kits for screening for gastrointestinal cancer in a mammal by measuring the mammal's level of antibodies to N3.
