The current assays for serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) have failed to produce the same PSA values on the same specimens because of problems with antibody specificity and calibrator preparation. To eliminate these problems, we proposed to replace the current serum PSA assay with an assay specif
BACKGROUND. Metastatic prostate cancer clinical evaluation is difficult. A revaluation of new prostate markers with regard to bone scans was performed. METHODS. Serial markers, including bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), total alkaline phosphatase (TAP), prostate-specific antigen, total (PSA) and fre
Several advantages become immediately apparent when the prostate specific antigen (PSA, or tPSA) assay is replaced by the assay specific for the serum PSA-alpha 1-antichymotrypsin (PSA-ACT) complex. For instance, random contributions to the tPSA value by various serum minor PSA isoforms can be avoid
