Abstract
This utility patent changes the chemical/biological formula of a home pregnancy test by narrowing the antigen from hCG/CGH to the beta-subunit only of hCG/CGH since the alpha-subunit of hCG/CGH is entirely too similar to that of the alpha-subunits of other hormones found to be naturally occurring in the human body. These hormones include LH, FSH and TSH. This utility patent also asserts that there are a variety of monoclonal antibodies at the disposal of the industry with which a manufacturer can effectively and adequately build and market an in-vitro urine assay that will detect even trace amounts of the antigen beta-hCG/CGH, which we claim to be the definitive cancer bio-marker.
Claims5
The assemblage of a general and non-specific carcinoma/cancer test kit for at-home use by laypersons and professional individuals alike.
A general and non-specific cancer test kit for non-prescribed “over the counter” sale to laypersons and professional individuals alike.
A non-specific qualitative carcinoma assay expressing the presence or absence of the antigen;
- beta hCG/CGH, with the appropriate positive or negative terms.
An at home, in-vitro, assay for carcinoma expressing positive and negative identities in identifiable form, to be defined within the illustrated instructions provided with each kit.
- A positive result is one that confirms or affirms the presence of the carcinoma biomarker in the test-takers urine. This result would indicate the presence of cancer.
- A negative result is one that confirms or affirms the absence of the carcinoma biomarker in the test-takers urine. Testee does not have cancer.
An At-Home Cancer Test kit requiring nothing more than that which is provided in the kit purchased, coupled with an un-contaminated sample of the test takers urine.
