Trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4me3) is a marker of active promoters. Broad H3K4me3 promoter domains have been associated with cell type identity, but H3K4me3 dynamics upon cellular stress have not been well characterized. We …

BACKGROUND: The Sialyl-Thomsen-nouveau antigen (STn) is abundantly produced on many types of human epithelial cancers including epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We previously developed an EOC-specific lectin sandwich immunoassay (CA125MGL) …

BACKGROUND: Measurement of serum cancer antigen 125 (CA125) is the standard approach for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) diagnostics and follow-up. However, the clinical specificity is not optimal because increased values are also detected …
