Aspects of the present invention include methods for diagnosing and monitoring IgAN in a subject. In practicing one aspect of the subject methods, a sample from a subject is analyzed for the presence of one or more specific autoantibodies to determine the IgAN phenotype of the subject. Also provided are compositions, systems, kits and computer program products that find use in practicing the subject methods. The methods and compositions find use in a variety of applications.

Aspects of the present invention include methods for determining a transplant category of a subject having a transplant. Common mechanisms of rejection injury are uncovered across different tissue transplants, and provide a means to understand rational drug design. Various sources of tissues are examined form the patient for understanding AR mechanism (graft biopsy), as well as monitoring by minimal invasive means (blood) or non-invasive means (urine for the kidney allograft). For biomarker discovery different categories of markers are examined such as genes, proteins, peptides and antibodies. These biomarkers can help determine the subject's transplant category (e.g., acute allograft rejection (AR), stable allograft (STA), BK viremia, BK nephritis, drug toxicity or chronic allograft injury (CAI), and the like). Also provided are compositions, systems, kits and computer program products that find use in practicing the subject methods. The methods and compositions find use in a variety of applications.

Methods are provided for determining whether a subject has a diabetes phenotype. In practicing the subject methods, a sample, e.g., a blood sample, from a subject is analyzed for the presence of one or more autoantibodies to obtain an antibody signature. The obtained antibody signature is then employed to determine whether the subject has a diabetes phenotype. The subject methods may be used in diagnostic or prognostic applications, e.g., determining whether the subject has diabetes (e.g., T1D or T2D), or monitoring a subject with diabetes to determine whether the subject has or will develop ESRD. Also provided are compositions, systems and kits that find use in practicing the subject methods. The subject methods and compositions find use in a variety of applications, including the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes in a subject.

Methods are provided for determining a transplant category of a subject having a kidney graft. In practicing one aspect of the subject methods, the peptide signature of a non-invasive sample derived from the transplant subject (e.g., a urine sample) is used to determine the subject's transplant category (e.g., acute allograft rejection (AR), stable allograft (STA), BK virus nephropathy (BK), and the like). In other embodiments, a gene expression signature from a biopsy sample from the subject (e.g., mRNA level) is used to determine the subject's transplant category. In certain embodiments both a peptide signature and a gene expression signature are used. Also provided are compositions, systems, kits and computer program products that find use in practicing the subject methods.
摘要:
Methods are provided for monitoring an allograft recipient for a rejection response, e.g., to predict, to diagnose, and/or to characterize a rejection response. In practicing the subject methods, the level of at least one protein in a sample from the allograft recipient, e.g., serum, urine, blood, CSF, tears or saliva, is evaluated, to monitor the subject. Also provided are compositions, systems, and kits that find use in practicing the subject methods.
摘要:
Methods are provided for evaluating a subject for graft survival, e.g., in terms of predicting graft survival, identifying the presence of a deleterious graft condition, such as CAN and DT, identifying the severity and class of acute rejection, etc, in a subject are provided. In practicing the subject methods, the expression of at least one gene in a sample from the subject, e.g., a blood or biopsy sample, is assayed, e.g., at the nucleic acid and/or protein level, to evaluate the subject. Also provided are compositions, systems and kits that find use in practicing the subject methods. The methods and compositions find use in a variety of applications.

Methods are provided for determining whether a subject has a graft tolerant phenotype. In practicing the subject methods, the expression of at least one gene in a sample from the subject, e.g., a blood sample, is assayed to obtain an expression evaluation for the at least one gene. The obtained expression evaluation is then employed to determine whether the subject has a graft tolerant phenotype. Also provides are compositions, systems and kits that find use in practicing the subject methods. The methods and compositions find use in a variety of applications, including the determination of an immunosuppressive therapy regimen.
摘要:
Methods are provided for determining whether a subject has a graft tolerant phenotype. In practicing the subject methods, the expression level of one or more gene in a sample from the subject, e.g., a blood sample, is assayed to obtain a gene expression result, where the gene expression result includes a result for a biomarker of graft tolerance. The obtained gene expression result is then employed to determine whether the subject has a graft tolerant phenotype. Also provided are compositions, systems and kits that find use in practicing the subject methods. The methods and compositions find use in a variety of applications, including the determination of an immunosuppressive therapy regimen.
