摘要:
The invention relates to the use of (auto)antibodies against the C-X-C chemokine receptor type 3 (CXCR3) as a prognostic marker in subjects with acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), particularly in subjects with high grade acute GVHD. The invention also relates to the use of C-X-C chemokines selected from the group consisting of CXCL4, CXCL9, CXCL10 and CXCL11, preferably CXCL9, as a prognostic marker in subjects with acute GVHD, particularly in subjects with high grade acute GVHD
摘要:
The application relates to a method for diagnosis of an antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) in a subject, wherein presence or absence of an anti-protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1) antibody is detected in a sample from the subject diagnosed, and wherein the presence of an anti-PAR1 antibody is indicative of the disease. Furthermore, it relates to the use of PAR1 for the diagnosis of APS, as well as to a method of removing anti-PAR1 antibodies from isolated blood of a subject upon detection of said anti-PAR1 antibodies in a sample of said patient.
摘要:
The application relates to a method for diagnosis of an autoimmune disease, comprising the step of determining the presence or absence of antibodies directed against CSa-receptor in a sample of the subject to be diagnosed, wherein the presence of antibodies directed against CSa-receptor is indicative of an autoimmune disease in said subject. Furthermore, the application relates to kits comprising C5a-receptor or an immunogenic fragment thereof and the use of CSa-receptor.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for diagnosis of a cancer, comprising the steps of (i) determining the level of antibodies against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in a sample from a subject to be diagnosed, (ii) comparing the determined level in the sample to a control level derived from subjects without cancer; wherein a decreased level in the sample from the subject to be diagnosed as compared to the control level is indicative for cancer in the subject. Furthermore, the invention relates to method of predicting response and outcome of a treatment of a cancer with an angiogenesis inhibitor.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method and an immunological test kit for predicting the risk of transplant rejection by detecting anti-AT1 receptor auto-antibodies in biological materials of a patient to be examined, e.g. by an immune reaction with the AT1 receptor or functionally analogous peptides or proteins thereof. The invention also relates to the use of the AT1 receptor or functionally analogous peptides or proteins therof in order to predict (diagnose) the risk of transplant rejection. Said risk exists if anti-AT1 receptor auto-antibodies can be detected in biological materials e.g. in body fluids or tissues.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for diagnosis of a cancer, comprising the steps of (i) determining the level of antibodies against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) in a sample from a subject to be diagnosed, (ii) comparing the determined level in the sample to a control level derived from subjects without cancer; wherein a decreased level in the sample from the subject to be diagnosed as compared to the control level is indicative for cancer in the subject. Furthermore, the invention relates to method of predicting response and outcome of a treatment of a cancer with an angiogenesis inhibitor.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for diagnosis of a cancer, comprising the steps of (i) determining the level of antibodies against epidermal growth factor (EGF) in a sample from a subject to be diagnosed, (ii) comparing the determined level in the sample to a control level derived from subjects without cancer; wherein a decreased level in the sample from the subject to be diagnosed as compared to the control level is indicative for cancer in the subject. Furthermore, the invention relates to method of predicting response and outcome of a treatment of a cancer with an epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor.
摘要:
The present application relates to a method for the prognosis of adverse outcomes in a subject comprising the following steps: (i) determining the midkine level in a sample of said subject; and (ii) comparing the determined midkine level to a control midkine level; wherein said sample is taken after the subject has been subjected to cardiovascular stress; wherein said control midkine level is derived from control sample(s) from one or more subjects not showing adverse outcomes, wherein the control sample(s) have been taken after said one or more subjects not showing adverse outcomes have been subjected to cardiovascular stress; and wherein a decreased determine midkine level as compared to the control midkine level is indicative of an adverse outcome. Further it relates to a method for the prognosis of adverse outcomes in a subject comprising the following steps: (i) determining in samples of said subject the increase in midkine levels (Δmidkine value) during cardiovascular stress; and (ii) comparing the determined Δmidkine value to a control Δmidkine value; wherein said control Δmidkine value is derived from one or more subjects not showing adverse outcomes; wherein a decreased determined Δmidkine value as compared to the control Δmidkine value is indicative of an adverse outcome. It also relates to the use of a midkine antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof for the prognosis of adverse outcomes in a subject undergoing dialysis therapy. Also encompassed is midkine for use in the treatment or the prevention of an adverse outcome, wherein midkine is administered to the subject.
摘要:
The application relates to a method for diagnosis of a chronic fatigue disease, e.g. CFS or CRF, comprising the step of determining the presence or absence of antibodies directed against β-adrenergic receptor in a sample of the subject to be diagnosed, wherein the presence of antibodies directed against β-adrenergic receptor is indicative of the chronic fatigue disease in said subject. Furthermore, the application relates to kits comprising β-adrenergic receptor or an antigenic peptide thereof and the use of β-adrenergic receptor or an antigenic peptide thereof for the diagnosis of a chronic fatigue disease.
