Popis: The aim of this study was to evaluate S100B in bone marrow (BM) plasma from malignant melanoma patients. BM aspirates and peripheral blood (PB) plasma from 56 patients and BM aspirates from 29 healthy volunteers were collected. S100B was measured using an immune radiometric assay, which is a two-site sandwich assay based on monoclonal antibodies recognizing the beta-subunit. In the control population, the median S100B level in BM plasma was 9.0 microg/l (26 women and three men), an unexpectedly high value compared with the median S100B level in PB
