2069417 9207270 PCTABS00012 Disclosed is a method useful in the differential diagnosis of colon cancer or HIV infection. Persons suffering from colon cancer or infected with HIV have increased levels of extracellular prosomes in their blood in comparison to the blood of persons not suffering from these diseases. The presence and quantity of these extracellular prosomes can be detected either with certain labelled anti-prosomal protein monoclonal antibodies or by measuring the amount of protease activity in an extracted portion of blood which would contain the extracellular prosomes. The results once obtained can be compared with a ''norm'' derived from a person not suffering from such diseases.
