Cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) is a glycoprotein biomarker that denotes the presence of ovarian and reproductive cancers in women, with serum concentrations of CA-125 greater than 35 U/ml considered indicative of potential malignancies. A fluorescent immunoassay recently developed in our laboratory employing the ALYGNSA antibody-orientation system has been used to measure CA-125 levels. This system displayed significantly increased sensitivity with a detection limit of 1.5 U/ml compared to that of a commercial CA-125 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (15 U/ml) This tenfold lower level of detection of the ALYGNSA CA-125 assay should permit better identification and monitoring of ovarian cancer.
