molecular marker for minimally invasive diagnostics of either cerebral tumours or inflammable diseases
The work group of Prof. Dr. Eckart Meese at Saarland University identified special features of tumour cells that could constitute a basis for an improved special diagnostic investigation. Tumour antigens were identified which trigger an immune reaction exclusively in patients with glioms or meningeoms. Based on this success re-search was extended on the fields of MS and COPD.
Compared with common procedures, the minimally invasive diagnosis, based on blood analysis, is a very cost-efficient method. Furthermore, this procedure means less inconveniences for the patient (complete blood count only).
