DIAGNOSTIC ASSAY FOR ENDOMETRIOSIS

2003
OA: closed

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for detecting endometriosis in a patient and is an improvement over invasive and expensive surgical procedures. The method employs immunoassays which detect autoantibodies in a serum sample which react with Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen (Tf). Increased levels of autoantibodies in a serum sample from the patient which bind to Tf-like antigen is indicative of endometriosis in the patient.
