## Abstract ## Introduction The neural cell adhesion molecule (N‐CAM) plays important roles in neural migration, synaptogenesis and CNS development. Change of N‐CAM fragments in CSF of schizophrenic patients was reported previously, and we aimed to detect difference in circulating N‐CAM in the ser

In normal human tissue high concentrations of the neuropeptide head activator are found in the hypothalamus, in the retina, and in the gastro-intestinal tract. Up to 100-fold elevated levels of head activator over neighbouring tissue were found in tumors of the brain, especially in tumors of neural
Background. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is distinguished from other histologic types of lung cancer by possessing a variety of neuroendocrine properties. Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) is the most frequently elevated tumor marker for patients with SCLC at diagnosis. To assess the value of neural ce
The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is a tumourrelated antigen found on the surface of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). NCAM exists in several molecular forms, including a soluble isoform. We have measured serum levels of NCAM using an enzyme immunoassay with 2 anltibodies, NCC-LU-246 and NCC-LU-
