  • Publication number: 20100086481
    Abstract: Methods are provided for evaluating a stroke, for example for determining whether a subject has had a hemorrhagic stroke, determining the severity or likely neurological recovery of a subject who has had a hemorrhagic stroke, and determining a treatment regimen for a subject who has had a hemorrhagic stroke, as are arrays and kits that can be used to practice the methods. In particular examples, the method includes screening for expression of hemorrhagic stroke related genes (or proteins), such as genes (or proteins) involved in suppression of the immune response, genes (or proteins) involved in vascular repair, genes (or proteins) involved in the acute inflammatory response, genes (or proteins) involved in cell adhesion, genes (or proteins) involved in hypoxia, genes (or proteins) involved in signal transduction, and genes (or proteins) involved in the response to the altered cerebral microenvironment. Arrays and kits are provided that can be used in the disclosed methods.

  • Patent number: 7590493
    Abstract: The present invention is based on the elucidation of the global changes in gene expression and the identification of toxicity markers in tissues or cells exposed to a known toxin. The genes may be used as toxicity markers in drug screening and toxicity assays. The invention includes a database of genes characterized by toxin-induced differential expression that is designed for use with microarrays and other solid-phase probes.
