摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for in vitro detection of SIRS, sepsis and/or sepsis-like conditions. This method renders the evaluation of the severity and/or the therapeutic progress of sepsis and severe infections, in particular sepsis-like systemic infections possible. Further, the present invention relates to the use of recombinantly or synthetically prepared nucleic acid sequences or peptide sequences derived therefrom as calibrator in sepsis assays and/or for the evaluation of the effect and the toxicity during screening of the active agents and/or the preparation of therapeutics for the prevention and treatment of SIRS, sepsis, sepsis-like systemic inflammatory conditions and sepsis-like systemic infections.
摘要:
The application relates to the use of a nucleic acid and/or protein chip comprising probe nucleic acids and/or probe proteins, which are specific for cellular stress, inflammatory and immune reactions, associated with stress, inflammatory and immune reactions, induced during acute phase responses or any combination thereof and which are immobilised on a carrier for the diagnosis of sepsis or sepsis related syndrome.

摘要:
A heat block thermocycler to perform rapid PCR in multiple small-volume samples (1-20 &mgr;l) employing, low profile, low thermal mass sample block the temperature of which can be rapidly and accurately modulated by a single thermoelectric pump (thermoelectric module). An array of spaced-apart sample wells is formed in the top surface of the block. The samples are placed into the wells of ultrathin-walled (20-40 &mgr;m) multiwell plate and located into the sample block. The heated lid tightly seals the individual wells by pressing the sealing film to the top surface of the multiwell plate. Air pressure arising inside the tightly sealed wells at elevated temperatures deforms the elastic walls of the wells of the ultrathin-walled plate and brings them into close thermal contact with the sample block. A gasket thermally isolates the sample block from the heated lid. The PCR reactions (30 cycles) can be performed in 10-30 minutes.
