Discovery of the Long Interspersed Nuclear Element-1 activation product [Open Reading Frame-1 (ORF1) protein] in human blood

In conclusion, we have developed a competitive ELISA and discovered the presence of iORF1 in serum, which could be used to advance future studies involving ORF1 measurement from blood. In addition, iORF1 may be a complement with the PSA screen to better detect prostate cancer.
