Реферат: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A novel human cancer associated protein, termed Cl 1AC, having Cl inactivator-like function has been provided. Diag-nostic tests based on demonstrating the presence of Cl 1AC have also been provided. In addition, antibodies and anti-sera with specificity against Cl 1AC have been discovered. Matrix-immobilized antibodies have also been discovered. The Cl 1AC is preferably prepared by immunizing a non-human animal against an .alpha.-neuramino glycoprotein having inhibitory activity upon Cl esterase hydrolyizing effect, and inhibitory effect on Cl activation of C4 as shown by the inhibition of complement haemolysis, which process comprises: immunizing a non-human animal against the said .alpha.-neuramino glycoprotein; and then harvesting serum from the immunized animal. The invention also provides a therapy of human cancer using antisera or anitbodies with specificity against Cl 1AC: A novel human cancer associated protein; termed CAAC, and antisera and anti-bodies with specificity against CAAC have also been discovered. The used of rabbit antihuman C4 is also provided for monitoring cancer diseases.
