Abstract

In order to aid in the detection of malignant diseases the sample of a body fluid is incubated with at least two receptors R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 in which a signal change is produced by binding of at least the receptors R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 to the substance to be detected in the sample solution and in which one of the two receptors contains a monoclonal antibody which binds to the amino acid sequence 311 to 335 of cytokeratin 19 and the other receptor contains a monoclonal antibody which binds to the amino acid sequence 346 to 359 of cytokeratin 19 and the signal change in the sample caused by the binding is determined.
