ABSTRACT:
A composition useful in a method for diagnosing cancer-associated retinopathy including the steps of acquiring a purified aliquot of 26 kDa protein, and, utilizing the protein, or a unique fragment thereof, to perform a patient-serum assay to identify in a sample of a patient's serum the presence of autoantibodies to the 26 kDa protein autoantigen.
