Abstract
A method of characterizing a biological sample is provided. The method includes the steps of contacting the sample with at least two receptor molecules to generate a first pattern of reactivity and comparing that pattern to a second reactivity pattern generated by a known sample and indicative of oncogene expression.
Claims1
A method of characterizing a biological sample comprising:
- (a) contacting a biological sample with at least two different receptor molecules to generate a first pattern of reactivity;
- and,
- (b) comparing said first pattern of reactivity to a second pattern of reactivity generated by a known biological sample wherein said second pattern is indicative of expression of oncogene or oncogene-related sequences.
