摘要:
Methods for assessing patient risk for platelet-affected disease states are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for predicting the appropriateness of platelet antagonist therapy, and for monitoring patients during therapeutic intervention or during a combined regimen of therapy and angioplasty.
摘要:
Methods for determining the appropriateness of anti-platelet therapy in a patient with a platelet-affected disease. The Mean Platelet Component value in a patient blood sample is determined corresponding to the patient's platelet activation status. A high platelet activation status indicates the appropriateness of anti-platelet therapy.
摘要:
The present invention generally relates, in some embodiments, to methods of determining a patient's prognosis for recurrence of prostate cancer and/or determining a course of treatment for prostate cancer following a radical prostatectomy.
摘要:
Methods and compositions are provided, where oligopeptides are produced on a transparent surface while retaining transparency by the cyclical addition of protected monomers. Reagents are specifically selected to allow for efficient reproducible addition, while maintaining transparency of the support. Linkers are provided which permit retention of the oligopeptide to the surface or release of the oligopeptide at completion of the preparation of the oligopeptide. The oligopeptide bound to the support finds use in diagnostic assays, as well as other application, while the free oligopeptides may be used in a variety of ways.
摘要:
Uncrosslinked polystyrene surfaces are derivatized under Friedel-Crafts conditions in a tetramethylenesulfone solvent using a substituted N-hydroymethyl acetamide derivatizing agent. The substitutent is subject to nucleophilic substitution to allow for the binding of a wide variety of molecules, particularly specific binding pair members, to the surface. Clarity is maintained for monitoring observation of events on the surface through the polystyrene.
