Abstract

Abstract : Tumor biomarkers are highly desirable for the screening of patients with a risk of tumor development and progression. Abstract : Tumor biomarkers are highly desirable for the screening of patients with a risk of tumor development and progression. Here, we report a beta-galactosidase (β-gal)-responsive acetaminophen (β-GR-APAP) as a synthetic plasma biomarker for targeted tumor detection. Tumor β-gal labeling via the recognition of tumor-related antigen enabled the detection of a tumor using β-GR-APAP.
