摘要:
The invention relates to the use of Asialo-Gm1 (Agm1,) and/or GM gangliosides, and substances which simulate the carbohydrate part of said gangliosides in terms of binding to anti-AGm1 antibodies and/or anti-Gm1 antibodies, for producing an agent which blocks or binds to anti-AGm1 antibodies and/or anti-Gm1 antibodies which bind to natural killer cells (NKC), said agent being administered to patients at high risk of sepsis and to patients with sepsis, in whom such antibodies have been detected, for the prevention, inhibition and treatment of sepsis.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for the early detection and detection, the progression prognosis and the evaluation of the degree of severity, and the treatment-accompanying progression evaluation of sepsis and sepsis-like systemic infections, and for the estimation of the danger which would be presented to patients at high risk of sepsis, by the development of a sepsis. According to the inventive method, the presence and/or quantity of anti-asialo-GM1 antibodies (anti-AGM1 antibodies), and antibodies which cross-react with the same, in a biological liquid of a patient or a patient at high risk of sepsis is determined, and conclusions are drawn from the presence and/or quantity of the same in terms of presence, expected progression, degree of severity or the success of a treatment for the inflammatory disease or sepsis, or in terms of the danger presented to a patient at high risk of sepsis. The inventive method enables potentially harmful banked blood to be eliminated if donor blood is used.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for identifying adrenomedullin immunoreactivity in biological liquids for diagnostic purposes and, to be precise, particularly within the scope of sepsis diagnosis, cardiac diagnosis and cancer diagnosis. According to the invention, the midregional partial peptide (mid-proAM; SEQ ID NO:3) of the proadrenomedullin, which contains amino acids (45-92) of the entire preproadrenomedullin (pre-proAM; SEQ ID NO:1), is measured, in particular, with an immunoassay which works with at least one labeled antibody that specifically recognizes a sequence of the mid-proAM.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for determining auto-antibodies (TRAb) to the TSH receptor (TSH-R), formed in a biological sample obtained from a patient. According to said method, the sample or at least one antibody fraction of the sample is reacted in a known manner in a reaction mixture in the presence of a first immunoreagent in the form of a selective competitor, with a second immunoreagent in the form of a TSH-R preparation. The selective competitor and/or the TSH-R preparation is/are, or can be labelled. The presence and/or quantity of the TRAb sought in the sample is determined by means of the bond between the TSH-R preparation and the selective competitor. According to the invention, the TSH receptor blocking auto-antibody (TBAb) is selectively determined in such a way, that the selective competitor is for the first time chosen to bond at those binding sites of the TSH-R preparation, for which said competitor competes with the TBAb that is to be determined, not however with the TSAb.
摘要:
The invention relates to the use of the calcineurin B homologous protein (CHP) from body fluids or body tissues as marker peptide in diagnostic identification, progression prognosis and progression control of inflammations and infections and/or as a target for therapeutically influencing the progression of inflammations and/or infections.
摘要:
Verfahren zur differentialdiagnostischen Früherkennung und Erkennung, für die Verlaufsprognose und die Beurteilung des Schweregrads und zur therapiebegleitenden Verlaufsbeurteilung von Sepsis und sepsisähnlichen systemischen Infektionen, bei dem man, vorzugsweise unter zusätzlicher Bestimmung mindestens eines weiteren für die Sepsisdiagnose geeigneten Parameters, die Menge von löslichen Cytokeratinfragmenten, insbesondere von CYFRA 21-1, TPS, TPA und/oder sCYlF, in einer biologischen Flüssigkeit eines Patienten, bei dem eine Sepsis vorliegt oder ein Verdacht auf Sepsis besteht, bestimmt und aus der bestimmten Menge an löslichen Cytokeratinfragmenten Schlüsse hinsichtlich des Vorliegens, des zu erwartenden Verlaufs, des Schweregrads und/oder des Erfolgs eingeleiteter Maßnahmen zur Therapie der Sepsis zieht.
摘要:
The invention relates to improved receptor assays for detecting TSHR-auto-antibodies using immobilised, affinity-purified rTHSR preparations as specific binders. In addition to novel measures for neutralising pathologically higher hTSH levels in the serum (adding anti hTSH-antibodies) and/or for eliminating the influence of anti-bTSH-antibodies (using a two-step protocol), this increases the reliability of assays of this type and creates the possibility of producing the assay constituents in a ready to use and/or well-standardised form, even for automatic processing, and making them commercially available.
摘要:
In vitro Verfahren zur Erkennung, zur Bestimmung des Schweregrads und zur Verlaufsbeurteilung und Prognose von neurodegenerativen Erkrankungen, bei dem man in einer biologischen Flüssigkeit eines Patienten, der an einer neurodegenerativen Erkrankung leidet oder bei dem Verdacht auf eine solche Erkrankung besteht, die Anwesenheit und/oder Konzentration der Carbamoylphosphat Synthetase 1 (CPS 1) bestimmt und auf der Basis der festgestellten Anwesenheit und/oder Konzentration von CPS 1 oder der Nichtnachweisbarkeit einer CPS 1-Immunreaktivität Schlüsse hinsichtlich des Vorliegens, des Verlaufs, des Schweregrads oder des Erfolgs einer Therapie der neurodegenerativen Erkrankung zieht.
