Abstract:Urine-based biomarkers are a rational and promising approach for the detection of bladder cancer due to the proximity of urine to the location of the tumor site and the non-invasive nature of its sampling. A well-known and highly investigated biomarker for bladder cancer is survivin. For detection of very small amounts of urinary survivin protein a highly sensitive assay was developed. The assay is based on the immuno-PCR technology, more precisely a solid-phase proximity ligation assay (spPLA). The limit of d… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
