Abstract
Abstract A METHOD IS DISCLOSED FOR DETERMINING POLYMERIC DNA AND THEREWITH THE PRESENCE OF CANCEROUS CELLS. A SAMPLE OF A BIOLOGICAL FLUID, SUCH AS BLOOD SERUM, IRRIGATION FLUIDS, ETC., IS OBTAINED AND FILTERED. A FLUORESCENT STANCE IS ADMIXED WITH THE FILTRATE WHICH IS CAPABLE OF BINDING WITH POLYMERIC DNA, AFTER WHICH THE FLUORESCENT INTENSITY OF THE MIXTURE IS DETERMINED. THE POLYMERIZED DNA CONTENT OF THE SOLUTION IS DIGESTED AND THE FLUORECENT INTENSITY MEASURED A SECOND TIME. THE DIFFERENCE IN THE TWO READING INDICATES QUANTITATIVELY THE POLYMERIZED DNA PRESENT, WHICH HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE AN INDICATION OF THE PRESENCE OF CANCEROUS CELLS.
