  1. 1. Serum TK1 activity and SAA concentration as biomarkers to differentiate lymphoma from gastrointestinal disease in cats

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Amanda Friman; [2023]
    Keywords : lymphoma; gastrointestinal lymphoma; feline lymphoma; inflammatory bowel disease; IBD; thymidine kinase 1; TK1; biomarker; cancer; cats;

    Abstract : Alimentary lymphoma is one of the most common malignant neoplasms in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in cats. Since the clinical signs often are identical to those of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and the findings on diagnostic imaging and endoscopic mucosal biopsies overlap, invasive biopsy sampling from the GI tract is needed to be able to differentiate these two diseases from each other.

  5. 4. Detection of Thymidine Kinase 1 Activity in Whole Blood Using an Oligonucleotide System

    University essay from

    Author : Heba Abdelfatah Possnert; [2014]
    Keywords : Deoxyribonucleoside kinases; cell proliferation markers; salvage pathway; hematological malignancies; therapy monitoring;

    Abstract : In today’s medical science studies, many tumor markers are being used to monitor cancer cell proliferation, but the number of assays for analysis of these markers are few. The aim of this study was to find an easier and more time-efficient way to measure the activity of a specific tumor marker called tymidine kinase 1 (TK1). READ MORE
