摘要:
The present invention provides a sensitive and specific indirect homogeneous mobility shift assay using size exclusion chromatography to measure biologics such as vedolizumab and ustekinumab in a patient sample. The assays of the present invention are particularly advantageous for detecting the presence or level of biologics that target complex or large antigens including cell surface proteins, transmembrane proteins, heavily glycosylated proteins, and multimeric proteins, as well as antigens that cannot be purified, impure antigens, and partially or substantially purified antigens. The present invention also provides isolated soluble α4β7 integrin heterodimers and isolated soluble IL-12p40 monomers that are suitable for use in the indirect assays described herein.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides methods for assessing mucosal healing in a patient with Crohn's Disease. The methods include detecting expression levels of analytes in a serum sample from a patient, and applying a mathematical algorithm to the expression levels, thereby producing a Mucosal Healing Index score for the patient. The present disclosure also provides kits that include two or more binding partners, each or which is capable of binding a different analyte measured in the disclosed mucosal healing assessment methods.
摘要:
The invention provides an ELISA assay for the determination of serum mast cell β-tryptase levels using rabbit anti-tryptase as the capture antibody and alkaline phosphatase conjugated G3 as the detecting antibody. Luminescent substrate CPSD was used to enhance the assay sensitivity. Also provided are methods for aiding in the diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome by detecting the serum level of β-tryptase, histamine and/or prostaglandin E2.
摘要:
The methods and systems of the present invention are useful in the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and in the prognosis of IBD progression and disease complications. With the present invention, it is possible to predict outcome of disease and patients who will have a particular risk of disease complications and/or progression to surgery.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods, systems, and code for accurately classifying whether a sample from an individual is associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or a clinical subtype thereof. In particular, the present invention is useful for classifying a sample from an individual as an IBD sample using a statistical algorithm and/or empirical data. The present invention is also useful for differentiating between a clinical subtype of IBD such as Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) using a statistical algorithm and/or empirical data. Thus, the present invention provides an accurate diagnostic prediction of IBD or a clinical subtype thereof and prognostic information useful for guiding treatment decisions.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of diagnosing the presence or severity of tissue fibrosis in an individual by detecting α2-macroglobulin (α2-MG) in a sample from the individual; detecting hyaluronic acid (HA) in a sample from the individual; detecting tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) in a sample from the individual; and diagnosing the presence or severity of tissue fibrosis in the individual based on the presence or level of α2-MG, HA and TIMP-1.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods, systems, and code for accurately classifying whether a sample from an individual is associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In particular, the present invention is useful for classifying a sample from an individual as an IBS sample using a statistical algorithm and/or empirical data. The present invention is also useful for ruling out one or more diseases or disorders that present with IBS-like symptoms and ruling in IBS using a combination of statistical algorithms and/or empirical data. Thus, the present invention provides an accurate diagnostic prediction of IBS and prognostic information useful for guiding treatment decisions.
摘要:
The present invention provides antibody-based arrays for detecting the activation state and/or total amount of a plurality of signal transduction molecules in rare circulating cells and methods of use thereof for facilitating cancer prognosis and diagnosis and the design of personalized, targeted therapies.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods for diagnosing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or for differentiating between Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), and indeterminate colitis (IC) in an individual by using a combination of learning statistical classifiers based upon the presence or level of one or more IBD markers in a sample from the individual. The present invention also provides methods for diagnosing the presence or severity of IBD and for stratifying IBD in an individual by determining the level of one or more IBD markers in a sample from the individual and calculating an index value using an algorithm based upon the level of the IBD markers. Methods for monitoring the efficacy of IBD therapy, monitoring the progression or regression of IBD, and optimizing therapy in an individual having IBD are also provided.
