Abstract: The invention provides anti-UCH-L1 antibodies and anti-GFAP antibodies and their use in in vitro detection of UCH-L1 and GFAP, respectively, in a sample from an individual, such as an individual known or suspected of having a brain injury or damage, for example, neurological damage such as mild traumatic brain injury. Also provided are methods, systems and kits for diagnosing brain injury or damage, such as neurological damage, in an individual with the aforementioned antibodies as well as compositions comprising the anti-UCH-L1 antibodies and anti-GFAP antibodies.

Abstract: The subject invention provides a robust, quantitative, and reproducible process and assay for diagnosis of a neurological condition in a subject. The invention provides measurement of two or more biomarkers in a biological fluid such as CSF or serum resulting in a synergistic mechanism for determining the extent of neurological damage in a subject with an abnormal neurological condition and for discerning subtypes thereof or tissue types subjected to damage.

Abstract: A process and assay for determining the neurological condition in a subject is provided whereby the level of one or more neuroactive biomarkers is measured in a sample obtained from the subject. The processes and assay include measurement of multiple neuroactive biomarkers for synergistic determination of a neurological condition such as neurological damage due to injury, disease, contact with a compound, or other source.

Abstract: Processes and materials are provided for the detection, diagnosis, or determination of the severity of a neurological injury or condition, including traumatic brain injury, multiple-organ injury, stroke, Alzeimer's disease, Parkinson disease and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). The processes and materials include biomarkers detected or measured in a biological sample such as whole blood, serum, plasma, or CSF. Such biomarkers include Tau and GFAP proteins, their proteolytic breakdown products, brain specific or enriched micro-RNA, and brain specific or enriched protein directed autoantibodies. The processes and materials are operable to detect the presence of absence of acute, subacute or chronic brain injuries and predict outcome for the brain injury.

Abstract: A robust, quantitative, and reproducible process and assay for diagnosis of a neurological condition in a subject is provided. With measurement of one or more autoantibodies to biomarkers in a biological fluid such as CSF or serum, the extent of neurological damage in a subject with an abnormal neurological condition is determined and subtypes thereof or tissue types subjected to damage are discerned.

Abstract: The present invention identifies biomarkers that are diagnostic of neural injury, neuronal disorder or neurotoxicity and is related to the discovery that proteases are selectively activated in subjects suffering from nervous system damage as compared to healthy subjects. Breakdown products reflecting protease activation are produced and detection of these different biomarkers of the invention is also diagnostic of the degree of severity and type of nerve damage in a subject.

Abstract: Life-threatening traumas such as terrorist attacks, war, disasters, mental or physical assault, severe accidents and violence frequently provoke emotional and behavioral disturbances known as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and suicide related thereto. Accurate diagnosis and treatment planning for PTSD and suicide remain difficult. The discovery of specific markers creates new opportunities for more accurate clinical assessments identifying groups that may experience better outcomes when exposed to an intervention. The present invention provides a process of detection of P-11, UBE3A, STY1, EMAP-II, SIP1, ORC5L, DCX, SCYE protein in a biological sample of a subject suspected of suffering from PTSD and/or having suicidal tendencies, and provides additional PTSD markers which are specific to gender.

Abstract: An in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device is used to detect the presence of and/or severity of neural injuries or neuronal disorders in a subject. The IVD device relies on an immunoassay which identifies biomarkers that are diagnostic of neural injury and/or neuronal disorders in a biological sample, such as whole blood, plasma, serum, and/or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). An IVD device may measure one or more of several neural specific markers in a biological sample and output the results to a machine readable format, either to a display device or to a storage device internal or external to the IVD.

Abstract: Processes and compositions for the therapeutic treatment of pathogenic Gram-negative bacterial infection are provided whereby arginino succinate synthetase or PEGylated arginino succinate synthetase is administered to a subject to inactivate endotoxin thereby reducing the likelihood of bacterial sepsis and improving patient outcome.
