ABSTRACT:
A method of easily detecting the occurrence of colorectal cancer in the absence of occult blood is provided by measuring decay accelerating factor (DAF) molecules which are synthesized by colorectal cancer cells and present in feces. The method includes reacting an anti-DAF antibody with a supernatant of a fecal solution and measuring an amount of the antibody which has bonded to DAF molecules by an antigen-antibody reaction with the DAF molecules in the supernatant.
