    摘要: A method for characterizing disease activity in a systemic lupus erythematosus patient (SLE), comprising obtaining a dataset associated with a blood, serum, plasma or urine sample from the patient, assessing the dataset for a presence or an amount of protein expression of at least one innate serum or plasma mediator, assessing the dataset for a presence or an amount of protein expression of at least one adaptive serum or plasma mediator biomarker, assessing the dataset for a presence or an amount of at least one chemokine/adhesion molecule biomarker, assessing the dataset for a presence or an amount of at least one soluble TNF superfamily biomarker, assessing the dataset for a presence or an amount of at least one inflammatory mediator biomarker, assessing the dataset for a presence or an amount at least one SLE-associated autoantibody specificity biomarker and calculating a Lupus Disease Activity Immune Index (LDAII) score.

    摘要: Low levels of antibodies reactive with oxidised Cardiolipin (oxCL) in mammals are related to an increased risk of developing cardivacular diseases, auto-immune diseases or inflammatory conditions. High levels can have a protective function and in general there is a negative association between manifestations of these conditions and antibodies against oxCL. Thus, based on their relations methods of monitoring, determining and diagnosing as well as methods of immunisation and therapy of these diseases and conditions are provided.

    摘要: The relates to the field of diagnosis and treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis, in particular of assessing responsiveness of rheumatoid arthritis patients to biological treatment. In particular the it has been found that measurement of MDR1 and/or MRP1 transport activities in the early phase of or before a bDMARD treatment is appropriate to provide a prediction on the effectiveness or success of bDMARD therapy once csDMARD therapy has failed. Thus, the invention relates to an in vitro diagnostic method for assessing the responsiveness of a sDMARD treated RA patient to bDMARD therapy, wherein preferably the patient is in need of a switch or modification of the sDMARD therapy by measuring transport activities of the above-mention transporters or their composite activities. The invention also relates to use of kits for the methods of the invention and methods for treatment comprising the diagnosis or prediction of the invention.

    摘要: A TRPM8 related peptide fragment, comprising amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID No: 1-18 is provided. Furthermore, application of TRPM8 protein, TRPM8 related peptide fragment and their antibodies in preparing diagnostic reagent for chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndromes (CP/CPPS) is provided. By detecting level of TRPM8 protein molecule, TRPM8 related peptide fragment and their antibodies, the chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndromes (CP/CPPS) is effectively diagnosed, and the present invention is capable of effectively making a distinction between CP/CPPS and other diseases of prostate. In addition, by intravenously or subcutaneously injecting 1˜30000 IU TRPM8 protein or TRPM8 related polypeptide fragments with or without combining nanoparticles for desensitization therapy, or monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies of the TRPM8 protein or polypeptide fragments, the present invention is capable of curing or significantly relieve clinical symptoms of the chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndromes (CP/CPPS) and having an therapeutic effect.
