摘要:
The present invention provides methods based on serological and genetic markers for diagnosing clinical subtypes of Crohn's disease (CD) having characteristic responsiveness to anti-Th1 cytokine therapy. In the methods of the inventions the presence of perinuclear anti-neutrophil antibody (pANCA), the presence of the TNFa10b4c1d3e3 haplotype or the presence TNFa11b4c1d3e3 haplotype each are independently diagnostic of a clinical subtype of CD having an inferior clinical response to anti-Th1 cytokine therapy. In addition, the presence of the homozygous TNF-&bgr; 1111 haplotype involving the TNFc, aa13L, aa26 and NcoI loci is independently diagnostic of a clinical subtype of CD having an inferior clinical response to anti-Th1 cytokine therapy. The presence of speckling anti-pan polymorphonuclear antibody (SAPPA) is diagnostic of a clinical subtype of CD having a superior clinical response to anti-Th1 cytokine therapy.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for determining haplotypes useful for large-scale genetic analysis, within a genomic reference sequence of interest, for a human subpopulation. The method can applied to statistically evaluating the genotypes of subjects for any statistically significant association with a phenotype of interest, such as insulin resistance or coronary artery disease. Thus, also disclosed are a method of detecting a genetic predisposition in a human subject for certain biological conditions, which may be related to coronary artery disease.
摘要:
A composition for the defoliation of plants, particularly cotton plants, containing synergistic mixtures of 1-phenyl-3-(1,2,3-thiadiazol)-urea with O,O-dimethyl-O-(p-nitrophenyl)-thiophosphoric acid ester or O,O-diethyl-O-(p-nitrophenyl)-thiophosphoric acid ester in weight ratios from 1 part by weight 1-phenyl-3-(1,2,3-thiadiazol)-urea to 0.2 to 1000 parts by weight O,O-dimethyl-O-(p-nitrophenyl)-thiophosphoric acid ester or O,O-diethyl-O-(p-nitrophenyl)-thiophosphoric acid ester. With use of the composition the plants are not only advantageously defoliated, but also simultaneously freed of harmful insects.
