## Abstract This study examined the sensitivity and specificity of serum autoβantibodies to p53 protein as a nonβinvasive marker of p53 genetic alterations or protein accumulation in lung cancer cases. A sensitive ELISA to detect serum p53 antibodies was developed and used to examine sera from 186

Abstract
Antibodies reacting with the host protein p53 were found in the sera of patients with primary or secondary carcinoma of the breast. Fourteen out of the 155 sera from breast cancer patients tested were positive for antiβp53 antibodies (9%) and no positives were detected among 164 control sera from normal women tested. The locations of the first metastasis in patients with positive sera were unusual, with more lung metastases and fewer bone metastases than expected. The detection of antiβp53 antibodies indicates that p53 is altered in amount, type or presentation in breast tumors so that it becomes immunogenic.
