Title: MarkPap Technology
1 MarkPap Technology PAST, PRESENT AND
FUTURE BioSciCon, 2007
2BioSciCon, Inc.
- BioSciCon is a women-owned small business
company that has developed and has rights to
manufacture, market and sale patented
biomarker-based MarkPap technology products
intended for cytological early detection of
cervical cancer/pre-cancer. MarkPap technology
is more accurate, faster and less costly than
current Pap test technologies.
3 MarkPap technology Biomarker makes a
difference
- MarkPap biomarker is cytoplasmic
expression of genetic changes in cervical cells
during - transformation from normal to pre-malignant
(dysplastic) and malignant, with or w/o HPV
infection. When visualized with MarkPap test
biomarker appears as a red pigment flagging only
abnormal cells.
4MarkPap test applied in Pap test as a new
ancillary method
Abnormal specimen, ASC-H. Three small abnormal
(red) cells among several normal
cells. Screening magnification (left).
Diagnostic magnifications (right). Abnormal
cells cannot be missed!
5Biomarker is positive in cancer and HPV induced
abnormal cells
- MarkPap smear from a patient with invasive
cervical carcinoma HPV positive. - Red biomarker is positive in all abnormal cells
where micro-vacuolization and dysplastic features
are present together
6MarkPap screening and HPV vaccines
- Cervical cancer was the major killer of women
with malignant diseases. Measures for prevention
and control, such as mass screening with low-cost
and accurate methods such as MarkPap, with added
benefit of HPV vaccines, raise hopes for
cervical cancer eradication in the years to come.
