    摘要: The invention concerns a first diagnostic method for glaucoma based on an analysis of autoimmune reactivity in body fluids against at least one sample of at least partially purified ocular antigens, wherein the autoimmune reactivity against individual antigens is measured and transformed into a glaucoma score to determine the diagnostic result. Further aspects of the invention include antigen carrying elements carrying at least one sample of the at least partially purified ocular antigens and kits for diagnosis of glaucoma. Further aspects include methods of collecting a body fluid such as tears for the use in the diagnostic method for glaucoma. Yet further aspects include ocular antigens serving as diagnostic markers and/or for preparing pharmaceutical compositions for treatment of glaucoma. The invention further concerns a second diagnostic method for glaucoma comprising the steps of a) providing an in vitro culture of cells; b) incubating a body fluid from a test individual with the in vitro culture of cells or incubating components, which are fractionated from the body fluid or from a body specimen of the test individual with the in vitro culture of cells; c) analyzing protein expression of the cells and/or analyzing the viability of the cells after treatment according to step b); and d) comparing the results of the analysis in step c) with standard data to determine a diagnostic result.

    摘要: The present invention relates to methods to treat glaucoma and glaucoma-related conditions through the regulation of changes in gene expression that are mediated by high intraocular pressure or alpha2 macroglobulin administration. Glaucoma, retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death and chronic ocular hypertension are treated using pharmaceutical compositions which comprise substances that inhibit the expression or activity of intraocular pressure-regulated early genes (IPREGs) or their gene products that are up-regulated by high intraocular pressure or alpha2 macroglobulin administration and/or which increase the expression or activity of IPREGs or their gene products that are down-regulated by high intraocular pressure or alpha2 macroglobulin administration. The invention also relates to methods of identifying an IPREG and methods to test for chronic ocular degeneration and the onset of RGC stress in an individual by measuring the expression level of IPREG proteins.
