Techniques: Plasma-based cancer detection using tumor-activated minicircles encoding truncated alkaline phosphatase placental (ALPP)

March 5, 2015 8:00 AM UTC

Tumor-activated minicircles could enable plasma-based detection of cancer. Minicircles are plasmid-like vectors encoding a truncated form of ALPP as a reporter under the control of a tumor-specific pr...
