The problem of modern diagnostics in the sphere of public health services is vital to all countries and Ukraine in particular. Unfortunately, this country still lacks a program for the early diagnosis of such serious cases as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular and oncologic diseases.
The existent, relatively reliable techniques of the diagnosis, for example, tomography, are either harmful to a living organism or too expensive for wide-scale application. Moreover, these techniques cannot locate pathology in cells.
However, scientists of the Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics under the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine have developed the new techniques of the early diagnosis. Although this is fundamental research, the results enable development of monoclonal antibodies to detect proteins, which are used in diagnostic test systems. Analyzing blood of a patient, even now it is possible to detect pathology even so there is only one damaged cell.
