Abstract
We tested the presence of tumour polypeptide antigen (TPA) in lower urinary tract cells from 59 workers exposed to known bladder carcinogens and from 30 control subjects. We then correlated immunocytological expression and serum TPA levels. Lower urinary tract cells from 31 subjects gave either moderately or strongly positive immunocytological stains. Five also had high serum TPA. The detection of TPA by cytology and in serum differed significantly in workers exposed to cancer agents and the control group.
