The invention relates to a cancer recognition factor (SCM-factor), its use and method of preparation. The SCM-factor of the invention is characterized as a low molecular weight peptide which is distinguished by its ability to produce a ten percent to fifty percent decrease in the intracellular fluorescein fluorescence polarization value of SCM-responding lymphocytes derived from the blood samples of donors afflicted with cancer. The SCM-factor is also characterized by its ability, after prolonged contact with SCM-responding lymphocytes, to modify the SCM-response of lymphocytes from donors not afflicted with cancer so that such lymphocytes respond in the SCM-test in all respects like lymphocytes from donors afflicted with cancer. The SCM-factor is isolated from a body fluid such as blood or urine by first subjecting the body fluid to ultrafiltration through a filter with a 1000 Dalton molecular weight cutoff. Following ultrafiltration the filtrate may be lyophilized or stored at 4°C or immediately purified by elution with distilled water through a chromatographic column and collecting elution fractions of between 0.3 and 0.5 Ve/Vt. The collected fractions may be further purified by elution with aqueous ammonium bicarbonate through a chromatographic column saving the elution fractions of between 0.4 and 0.6 Ve/Vt. If desired the samples may be even further purified by passage through a column packed with anion exchange material followed by reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography purification. The SCM-factor is used for general screening of blood samples for the presence of malignancy in the donor body.
