Also provided are methods for treating IBD in an individual who is determined to be at high risk or low risk for IBD progression, and kits for assessing whether an individual is at high risk or low risk for IBD progression. Arrays, and methods of providing arrays, of patient-identified selected gene expression products from a whole blood sample of a patient are also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20190284531
    Abstract: The application relates to methods of assessing whether an individual has an exhausted CD8+ T cell or lack of CD4+ T cell costimulation phenotype, and the use of such methods in determining an individual's risk of autoimmune disease progression, progression of a chronic infection, not responding to a treatment for a chronic infection, not mounting an effective immune response to vaccination, infection-associated immunopathology, transplant rejection, or cancer progression.
