DETECTION OF CANCER BIOMARKERS USING NANOPARTICLES

摘要

Methods for identifying and detecting potential disease specific biomarkers from biofluids. The methods involve in vivo administration of nanoparticles to a subject in a diseased state or incubating nanoparticles in a biofluid sample taken from a subject in a diseased state and analysis of the biomolecule corona formed on said nanoparticles. The methods distinguish between a healthy and diseased state in a subject, such as, for example, the presence of a tumor in a human subject.
