Abstract

Unlabelled Ten out of 37 patients with advanced malignant diseases were found to have extractable amounts of DNA in their plasma whereas no DNA could be detected in 50 normal controls. After its purification from the original nucleoprotein complex, DNA plasma levels ranging from 0.15 to 12 micrograms/ml were measured, the lowest concentration detectable with our method being 0.1 microgram/ml. Knowing from recovery experiments performed with 32P-DNA that the loss of DNA during the extraction procedure is about 65%, the real concentration of DNA in the plasma corresponds to about 3 times the given figures. The purified DNA was shown to be double-stranded and composed of fractions ranging from 21 kb to less than 0.5 kb, as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis. All these fractions hybridized with a 32P-labelled human DNA probe indicating the human origin of the bulk of the circulating DNA.In conclusion the finding of extractable amounts of DNA in the plasma of 27% of the investigated cancer patients, and its absence from the controls, suggests some correlation with malignancy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
