Can Limulus amebocyte lysate be used to detect some cancers?
editThis is what is stated in the third paragraph of the section entitled Interaction with Humans. However, the reference that is provided is unconvincing (just a passing, unsupported, comment in a high school exercise) and it seems inherently implausible. LAL detects endotoxin, which is found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. A connection with cancer is unclear. Patentpedant (talk) 10:14, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
