[Immunodiagnosis of urologic tumors]

In 42 patients with malignant and benign diseases of the kidney, the urinary bladder and the prostate the sensitization of the lymphocytes was investigated in the cell electrophoresis mobility test. In these cases human encephalitogenic protein and tumour-associated antigens from malignomas of kidney, urinary bladder and prostate were used as antigen. When using human encephalitogenic protein 3 "falsely positive" and 2 "falsely negative" results were got, whereas, when using the corresponding tumour-associated antigens in the cell electrophoresis mobility test in every case the histologically ascertained tumour diagnosis could be confirmed.
