Determination of tissue polypeptide-specific antigen in pleural fluid and serum from patients with pleural effusion

The International Journal of Biological Markers, 1995
As a tool for differentiating malignant and benign pleural effusions, we evaluated the diagnostic value of the assay of tissue polypeptide-specific antigen (TPS) in pleural fluid and serum, and of the pleural fluid TPS/serum TPS ratio in patients with ...
