Abstract

IAP marker was detected by radio-immunodiffusion in breast gross cyst fluid and in serum. No correlation was found between this antigen and cyst' cytological type, serum concentrations and acute phlogosis. In most cysts IAP was not valuable; on the other hand, high levels of glycoprotein were found only in the subgroup on relapsed class of apocrine cysts.
