    摘要: The present invention relates to a biological method for assaying peptidoglycans (PGN) in a sample, particularly a sample of glucose polymers. The PGN assay includes: a) treating the glucose polymer sample by sonication, heating, and/or alkalizing; b) placing the treated sample or a dilution thereof in contact with a recombinant cell expressing an exogenous TLR2 (toll-like receptor 2) and a reporter gene directly dependent on the signaling pathway associated with the TLR2. The reporter gene codes for a colored or fluorescent protein or for a protein the activity of which is measurable with or without a substrate; c) measuring the reporter gene signal; and d) determining the amount of PGN in the sample using a standard curve of the correlation between the amount or PGN and the strength of the reporter gene signal.

    摘要: Biomarkers, including isolated fibronectin-aggrecan complexes that correlate with spinal or joint pain and inflammation, and methods for their detection are provided. Also provided are methods for identifying treatment sites in the spine or joint for treatment of pain and inflammation by detecting the presence of, or increased levels of, fibronectin-aggrecan complexes. Methods for treating spinal or joint pain and inflammation are also provided.
