ABSTRACT:
NADH oxidase is shown to be a target for a variety of uses in diagnosis and therapy. Particularly, the NADH oxidase associated with neoplastic cells is immunologically and biologically different from NADH oxidase associated with normal cells. Thus, the presence of tumor cells in patients can be monitored by monitoring the NADH oxidase of serum. In addition, use of the NADH oxidase associated with tumor cells provides opportunities for assays for screening drugs which are specific for neoplastic cells and can serve as anticancer drugs or growth inhibitors.
