J0201-3-3 Noninvasive Sensing of Skin Cancer for Early Diagnosis

Abstract

Although the number of the patients with skin cancer has increased every year. noninvasive diagnosis methods of skin cancer have not been established yet. It is reported that Catehpsin L (CatL) correlated with actinic keratosis and squamous cell cancer. In this study, an novel immuno-chromatographic test-strip is proposed for Cad, analysis in skin. The fabricated test-strip consists of four pads, a sample pad. a conjugate pad, a nitrocellulose membrane and a absorption pad. After dropping a sample. it required 90 seconds to reach the solution at the test line on the test-strip and indicated a red colored band 3 minutes later. We proposed that this newly developed immuno-chromatographic test-strip has a highly potential as a tool for early diagnosis of skin cancer.
