Abstract

It was demonstrated that enteric alpha-defensin 5 is undetectable in five blood serum samples of healthy donors, whereas its processed form is present in two out of five serum samples of colon cancer patients. Obtained results open a possibility of serological diagnosis of colon tumors in high risk cancer patients.
