Human pancreatic secretory protein profiles in pancreas cancer and chronic pancreatitis.
Pancreatic secretory protein profiles differed significantly between patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) and pancreatic carcinoma (CA). Specific regions of the patterns were altered when CP versus CA and when CP versus normals were compared. Bands isoelectric in the region of pH 9-11 were elevated in CP. The possible identification of this band as lactoferrin is discussed.
