    摘要: Compositions and methods are provided for classification of individuals suffering from a demyelinating disease into groups that are informative of the individual's responsiveness or lack of responsiveness to treatment with a J3-interferon (IFNJ3) acting therapy. In particular, it is shown that the effective immunomodulatory treatment of demyelinating disease with IFNJ3 is associated with an increase in circulating transitional B cells in the patient. Diseases of interest include without limitation inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system, e.g. multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica (NMO), experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE), acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), etc.

    摘要: The present invention relates to methods for identifying patients that will respond to treatment with anti-TNF-therapy, i.e., anti-TNF responder patients. In particular, the present invention relates to determining response to an inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in a patient with a chronic inflammatory disease by determining the activity of type I interferon in the patient. The invention further relates to quantification of type I interferon as a measure of predicting responsiveness to anti-TNF therapy in patients with a chronic inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, juvenile chronic arthritis, lupus, Crohn's disease, as well as for cardiovascular disease.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to methods and assay that assists in the diagnosis of autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis by analyzing drug-responsiveness of an interferon signal in a hematological sample (e.g., blood) obtained from a human subject. The assay involves comparing the interferon signal in a control aliquot of the sample with the same interferon sample in an aliquot that has been exposed to a therapeutic modality (e.g., combined with a drug) that is known to be efficacious to treat the disorder. A significant difference between the interferon signals of the control and treated aliquots that corresponds to a characteristic interferon signature for the disorder indicates that the subject is afflicted with, or is likely to develop, the disorder.

    摘要: Methods are provided for the synthesis of polymer conjugates of cytokines and receptor-binding antagonists thereof, especially a non-glycosylated interferon-beta, which conjugates retain unusually high biological potency. Preparation of polymer conjugates according to the methods of the present invention diminishes or avoids steric inhibition of receptor-ligand interactions that commonly results from the attachment of polymers to receptor-binding regions of cytokines, as well as to agonistic and antagonistic analogs thereof. The invention also provides conjugates and compositions produced by such methods. The conjugates of the present invention retain a high level of biological potency compared to those produced by traditional polymer coupling methods that are not targeted to avoid receptor-binding domains of cytokines. In assays in vitro, the biological potency of the conjugates of non-glycosylated interferon-beta of the present invention is substantially higher than that of unconjugated interferon-beta and is similar to that of interferon-beta-1a that is glycosylated. The conjugates of the present invention also exhibit an extended half-life in vivo compared to the corresponding unconjugated cytokine. The present invention also provides kits comprising such conjugates and/or compositions, and methods of use of such conjugates and compositions in a variety of diagnostic, prophylactic and therapeutic applications, including treatment of multiple sclerosis.
