ABSTRACT:
Methods and compositions useful in the detection of human cancer cells and malignant tumors are provided. Certain human autocrine motility factor receptors or proteins (gp78-hAMFR) have been identified which are useful in the detection of human cancer cells and malignant tumors. Methods and assay kits for the detection of human cancer, human cancer cells, and tumors, are provided wherein antibodies or other probes are used which recognize gp78-hAMFR expression. These methods and assay readily distinguish between non-malignant and malignant cancer cells and tumors and can be used to gauge metastatic potential.
