摘要:
Immunoassay for procalcitonin in a biological sample from a patient comprises selectively determining full-length procalcitonin 1-116 with alanine and proline at positions 1 and 2. An independent claim is also included for an antibody that selectively binds to procalcitonin 1-116.

Isoliertes Procalcitonin 3-116, Verfahren zur seiner Isolierung aus dem Blut von Sepsispatienten und die Verwendung von Procalcitonin 3-116 als Parameter in der allgemeinen Diagnostik.
摘要:
The invention relates to the use of the carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS 1) and/or fragments of the N-terminal part of the CPS 1 of body fluids or body tissues, as marker peptides for diagnostic detection, and for the prognosis and control of the development of inflammations and infections, including sepsis, and liver failure in the case of multi-organ failure, or for determinations relating to inflammatory liver diseases and other liver diseases.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for the early detection of neoplasms in a patient and for assessing the danger represented by developing and/or spreading malignant neoplasms. The inventive method is characterized by the fact that the presence and quantity of antibodies (i) which bond to ganglioside structures and antigen structures simulating ganglioside structures, and (ii) the presence of which and/or the quantities of highly sensitive antibodies being significantly greater than in normal individuals correlating with the existence of a neoplasm and/or the patient's health being jeopardized by malignant neoplasms, is determined in a biological sample of the patient by using an assay that is highly sensitive to the antibodies that are to be determined.
摘要:
Disclosed is an improved sandwich immunoassay for identifying partial proANP peptides in cardiac and sepsis diagnosis by using two antibodies which specifically bond to partial sequences in the midregional area of NT-proANP, said area extending from amino acid 53 to amino acid 83 of NT-proANP.
摘要:
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) having thyroid stimulating activity (TSAb), especially full or considerably agonistic activity, or thyroid blocking activity (TBAb), which are obtainable by genetic immunization of mice, or fragments (F(ab') 2 , Fab or Fv) or humanized forms of such monoclonal antibodies or single chain forms (SCA; scFv) of such fragments, which antibodies, or their fragments, compete with bovine TSH for epitopes of the human TSHr, compete with autoantibodies from sera from Graves' patients as well as with autoantibodies from sera from patients harboring blokking autoantibodies for epitopes of the human TSHr, bind to conformational epitopes of the human TSHr located in the first 281 amino acids of the human TSHr, and usually also bind to TSH receptors (TSHr) from different animals. Various uses of such anitbodies, or of peptides corresponding to variable regions of such antibodies, are also described and claimed.
摘要:
Verfahren zur frühzeitigen Ermittlung des Mortalitätsrisikos von Patienten auf Intensiv- oder Notfallstationen, bei dem man in einer Serum- oder Plasmaprobe eines solchen Patienten selektiv die Konzentration der Cu/Zn Superoxiddismutase (Cu/Zn SOD oder SOD-1) bestimmt und quantitativ oder semiquantitativ gemessene Konzentrationen, die über einem vorgegebenen Schwellenwert, z.B. über etwa 310 ng/ml, liegen, mit einem hohen Mortalitätsrisiko korreliert.

摘要:
The invention relates to a method for the early detection and identification, for a prognosis on the course, assessment of the severity and assessment during the course of therapy of inflammatory diseases and infections, in particular systemic infections similar to septicaemia and Alzheimer's disease. According to said method, the presence and/or quantity of the protein LASP-1 (SEQ ID NO:1), or the protein LAP-1 (SEQ ID NO:16), or an immunoreactive fragment of one of said proteins is determined, preferably as immunoreactivity, in a free and/or protein-bound form in a biological liquid, or optionally a tissue sample of a patient and conclusions are drawn from the presence and/or quantity of the specific proteins with regard to the existence, the expected course, the severity or the success of a therapy of the inflammatory disease or the infection.
