摘要:
Subject of the present invention are assays and in vitro methods for the in vitro diagnosis, prognosis and risk stratification of a patient having a primary, non-infectious disease, whereby the level of Procalcitonin (PCT) in a sample of a body fluid of the patient is indicative for the risk of the patient to contract a further disease or medical condition.
摘要:
Method for the determination of adrenomedullin immunoreactivity in biological fluids for diagnostic purposes, in particular in sepsis, cardiac and cancer diagnosis, in which the midregional partial peptide (mid-proAM; SEQ ID NO:3) of proadrenomedullin, which comprises the amino acids (45-92) of the complete preproadrenomedullin (pre-proAM; SEQ ID NO:1), is measured in particular by means of an immunoassay which operates with at least one labelled antibody which specifically recognizes a sequence of mid-proAM.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for the stratification of a subject having an acute or a chronic disease, wherein the disease affects endothelial function/dysfunction, comprising the steps of (i) taking a sample of bodily fluid from the subject; (ii) determining in the sample of bodily fluid the concentration of a vasoactive hormone or fragments thereof or precursors or fragments thereof having a length of at least 12 amino acid residues; (iii) stratifying the subjects into either of the categories: (a) responder to a medication for treatment of the disease, (b) non-responder to a medication for treatment of the disease not showing an unfavorable effect after having received the medication; (c) subjects showing an unfavorable effect after having received the medication. The invention also relates to the use of an antibody or a functional fragment thereof in the method according to the invention.
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 blocking 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 TSFR receptors (TSHr) from different animals. Various uses of such antibodies, or of peptides corresponding to variable regions of such antibodies, are also described and claimed.
摘要:
A micromechanical device includes a micromechanical functional structure and an electromagnetic radiation heating associated with the micromechanical functional structure, which is formed to cause a spatially and temporally defined temperature or a spatially and temporally defined temperature course in the micromechanical functional structure.
摘要:
Subject of the present invention is a method of assessing the susceptibility of a subject to acquire cancer and/or assessing the risk of cancer mortality for a subject, who has not had clinically manifest cancer and/or does not have clinically manifest cancer at the time when applying this method.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an in vitro method for medical diagnosis, prognosis and therapy follow-up for patients having a cardiac disease or being suspected of developing or having a cardiac disease comprising the steps of: providing a sample of a patient having a cardiac disease or being suspected of developing or having a cardiac disease, determining amino-terminal proANp or partial peptides thereof having from 12 to 98 amino acids in said sample using at least one antibody that binds specifically to a partial sequence of amino-terminal proANP, attributing the determined amino-terminal proANP level or the level of partial peptides thereof to a clinical picture wherein the attribution is carried out independent of the BMI of the patient. The present invention further concerns a rapid test assay and a kit for conducting the method of the present invention and the use of antibodies suitable for the method and assays according to the present invention.
摘要:
A component is designed to work with acoustic waves. Embodiments have an improved temperature gradient of the frequency range and have increased performance strength. To this end, the component includes a stack of layers having a lower bonding layer, an electrode layer, an upper bonding layer, a compensation layer, and a trimming layer.
