ABSTRACT:
A factor that indicates fertilization of an ovum before implantation, Preimplantation Factor (PIF), has been found. PIF also provides an early indication of pregnancy, malignancy, and autoimmune diseases. Assays for PIF are described. Detection of PIF in mammalian blood and other fluids is utilized in various diagnostic tests.
