ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides for the measurement of prostate specific antigen (PSA) from extracts of blood dried on a suitable solid support. PSA in solid support dried blood is stable for more than 100 days at room temperature. The procedure of the present invention can reliably distinguish normal from elevated levels of PSA and that facilitates screening and monitoring to detect disease in large scale mail-in programs to centralized laboratories.
