CA125 levels in cell lysates and conditioned medium

Cell lines CA 125, units/ml
Cell lysates Cell medium
3T3 (negative) <4 <4
OVCAR-3 (positive) 60,000 7,000
IOSE-29 <4 41
IOSE-29EC 82,000 6,000

Cells were grown to subconfluence and lysed (cell lysates), or the medium was changed and collected 1 day later (culture medium). One hundred micrograms of cell lysate and 300 μg of medium then were assayed for CA125 by microparticle enzyme immunoassay.
