Image: Diagram of DiviTum sTK1 assay: BrdUTP is subsequently incorporated into a solid-phase DNA-strand. Incorporated BrdU is detected using an anti-BrdU monoclonal antibody conjugated to the signal generating enzyme alkaline phosphatase. The level of BrdU incorporated over time is proportional to the level of thymidine kinase activity in the sample (Photo courtesy of Biovica).

Blood Test Reduces Interim for Evaluating Cancer Treatment

Although prognosis and treatment of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) have improved over the last years, there is still an unmet clinical need for more precise prognostic and treatment monitoring tools. More...
