This study sought to measure residual contraceptive hormone levels in vaginal rings as an adherence marker for monitoring product use in clinical trials.
We also detected for the first time a complete loss of afamin in metastatic laryngeal cancer tissues, which warrants further studies into its use as a possible marker for monitoring disease progression and/or treatment outcome.
The chapter provides immunologic evidence and molecular biologic evidence to show that MUC18 may be a possible diagnostic marker for monitoring the progression of prostate cancer from premalignant stage (PIN) to malignant stage and to metastasis to other organs.
Green florescent protein (GFP) is a marker for monitoring gene expression in transgenic plants (Hraska et al. 2006).
CA 125 has provided a useful first-generation marker for monitoring ovarian cancer and triaging patients with pelvic masses, despite limitations in sensitivity and specificity.
The results also show that osteocalcin may be used as a biological marker for monitoring implant healing at 6, 8, 10, and 12 weeks after implant placement.
Serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphate 5b (TRACP 5b) is a novel marker for monitoring anti-resorptive therapy in patients using BPs [17, 18].
In addition, we identify KLRG1 as a useful marker for monitoring the anti-tumor immune response elicited by this therapy.
Practically, PAF-AH level in serum seems more likely a suitable biochemical marker for monitoring the occurrence of the lethal pulmonary hemorrhage in cases of severe leptospirosis.
Accumulation of proline has been regarded as a marker for monitoring a plant response to environmental stresses as it acts as a stress-related signaling molecule [31], [32].
Aside from this general purpose, NLS-mRFP is a convenient marker for monitoring cellular stress in live cells, as its mislocalization to the cytoplasm is indicative of nuclear import collapse [30], [31].
