✦ Synopsis

The concentrations of three secretory proteins of the human prostate, including prostatic secretory protein of 94 amino acid residues (PSP94), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in semen from a collective of patients suffering from various inflammatory diseases of the genital tract. In addition, levels of the conventional markers citrate, glucosidase and fructose were determined. As compared with semen from men exhibiting no inflammatory condition, only levels of glucosidase in cases of epididymitis and concentrations of PSP94 in the collective suffering from prostatitis showed significant reductions. The changes in the secretion of PSA, PAP, fructose and citrate in the semen of patients with inflammation of genital tract tissue were not significant at the 95% range of confidence.

Cytokeratins are intermediate filaments found within basal and secretory epithelial cells. Antisera raised against cytokeratins are available but frequently differ in specificity. Many are incompletely characterized for their reactivity against epithelial components. Cytokeratin (Cyto) P is a polycl

## BACKGROUND. Serum TPS (tissue polypeptide-specific antigen) has been observed to be characteristic of carcinoma proliferation, and increased levels of TPS seem to be closely related to tumor progression. In this study we wanted to evaluate the importance of the tumormarker TPS in the diagnosis

## BACKGROUND. Two new prostate cancer markers, free-prostate specific antigen (f-PSA) and prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) were recently introduced. This report summarizes a prospective two-year multicenter test of their diagnostic or prognostic capabilities. Total PSA was also measured.
