A diagnostic test and method is provided comprising mixing blood or another biological fluid sample with a test compound and spotting the blood on filter paper for subsequent analysis of the effect of the test compound on the blood. The biological fluid can be a cerebrospinal fluid, a peritoneal fluid, a cyst fluid, an amniotic fluid, a lavage fluid, a saliva, a cell extract or a tissue extract. The compound is chosen among an amino acid, a peptide, a protein, a carbohydrate, an oligosaccharide, a polysaccharide, a glycoprotein, a lipid, a lipoprotein, a glycosaminoglycan, a hormone, a steroid, a vitamin, a low molecular weight synthetic or natural compound which influences the blood to cause an alteration of its composition, e.g., a toxin, allergen, autoantigen, bacterial protein or polysaccharide, viral protein, fungal protein or polysaccharide, parasitic protein or polysaccharide, bacterial lipopolysaccharide or any other compound relevant to diseases.

Diagnostic blood test using adsorption on filter paper

A method for determining whether a woman with gross cystic disease will develop breast cancer is provided. The method comprises analyzing human breast cyst fluid for the presence of a unique factor which has a retention time on an Amino Carbohydrate HPLC column of between about 6.4 minutes and about 6.7 minutes. The presence of this factor is diagnostically predictive for breast cancer.
