Abstract
A process is disclosed for the determination of the malignant potential of a tumor. The process comprises the steps of determining the amount of BBO in a tumor sample by reacting the BBO in a tumor sample with a BBO-binding lectin or a BBO-specific antibody to form a BBO-lectin or a BBO-specific antibody complex. Then, the amount of BBO-lectin or BBO-antibody complex or of unreacted BBO can be measured.
