Tuck:

Do you know if CIPH's SELDI P.Chip will be used to detect osteopontin or if they have another "marker" for detection of ovarian Ca ?

I read with interest the article on JAMA.2002;287:1671-1679 Dr.S.C.Mok, the senior author, is from Boston's Brigham & Women's Hospital.

The ELISA kits that were used reportedly were supplied by Immuno-Biological Labs. which I understand has applied for a patent for osteopontin detection kits.

They stated that there are a variety of arbitrary choices for reporting specificity and sensitivity estimates and with their choice of reporting.<g> their specificity result was 80%.

That was less than the 96% on the article you mentioned in which the study apparently was done by Northwestern ?
