Abstract
A method and kit for detecting the presence of tumor cells in an animal by detecting expression of VEGF-B186, determining an increased expression of VEGF-B186, or by determining an increased expression of VEGF-B186 relative to expression of VEGF-B167. The kit comprises a receptacle adapted to receive a sample and a means for detecting expression of VEGF-B186 from the sample. Also, a method for screening for anti-tumor agents.
