From: Elevated levels of circulating IL-7 and IL-15 in patients with early stage prostate cancer
Circulating levels of soluble factors in serum from patients bearing early stage PCA or BPH A. Sera from patients bearing BPH or PCA were collected prior to surgery and tested for their content in the indicated factors by ELISA (A.1.). Statistical significance of differential titers in sera from patients bearing either BPH or PCA is also reported. Correlations between IL-7 and IL-15 levels in sera from patients with early stage PCA (A.2.) or BPH (A.3.) are displayed. B. ROC curves were created for all IL under investigation and their ability to distinguish between sera of patients with PCA or BPH was analyzed.
