    Abstract: A method is provided for immune corrective surgical removal of lymphoid tissues containing shed tumor antigen in an individual. A detector molecule, with binding specificity for shed tumor antigen, is administered to an individual, and detected in the individual is the presence of lymphoid tissue which contains shed tumor antigen, as detected by the signal emitted by the detector molecule bound to shed tumor antigen. The lymphoid tissue, detected as containing shed tumor antigen, may then be surgically removed, thereby removing B cells, shed tumor antigen, and follicular dendritic cells involved in a pro-tumor immune response that are contained in the removed lymphoid tissue.

    Abstract: A biological tissue regenerative agent and method for preparing the same. The agent comprises the compounds that are usually found sequestered within platelets, along with platelet cytosolic components, and serum. The agent is prepared by preparing two quanta of blood. The first is clotted, the cells discarded and the serum retained. The second quantum undergoes concentration and lysis of the platelets therein, followed by recombination of the lysed platelets and platelet internal products with serum to form the agent. In a preferred embodiment, lysis of platelets is accomplished by providing an effective amount of calcium. The agent may be further purified and may be frozen or freeze dried for storage.
