Abstract
An improved, more convenient, more sensitive test for detection of certain malignancies in human and animal subjects is disclosed. Sera from test subjects is mixed with labeled DNA in the presence of an enzyme-conjugated resin. Sera from normal and cancerous subjects react differently with the resin, permitting a diagnosis of the subject.
