Thanks, .

Very interesting item. Here's another - this one with some

information specific to lymphoma. I expect the utility of such

auto-antibody markers will be highly specific to the type and

subtype of the cancer.

Tumor-associated Antigen Arrays for the Serological Diagnosis of

Cancer*

" The recognition that human tumors stimulate the production of

autoantibodies against autologous cellular proteins called

tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) has opened the door to the

possibility that autoantibodies could be exploited as

serological tools for the early diagnosis and management of

cancer. "
