Abstract

See full text

This disclosure provides a method and compositions for substantially increasing the concentration of DNA in macrophages of a patient. By administering to a patient one or more agents which prevent the activity of deoxyribonucleases within lysosomes of macrophages, degradation of DNA phagocytosed by macrophages is temporarily blocked, permitting its accumulation. This strategy has the potential to enhance the detection of genetic biomarkers from cells typically phagocytosed by macrophages, such as tumor cells, and thus has applications for early or residual detection of cancer.
