Abstract: The present invention relates to cancer immunotherapy, in particular to sequence variants of tumor-related antigenic epitope sequences. Namely, the present invention provides a method for identification of microbiota sequence variants of tumor-related antigenic epitope sequences. Such microbiota sequence variants are useful for the preparation of anticancer medicaments, since they differ from self-antigens and, thus, they may elicit a strong immune response. Accordingly, medicaments comprising microbiota sequence variants, methods of preparing such medicaments and uses of such medicaments are provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods of analysing a sample from a subject having or suspected of having Crohn's disease for the abundance of the subject's nucleic acid (e.g., DNA) in the sample. The invention also relates to methods for measuring abundance of nucleic acid (e.g., DNA) in stool from a human subject having or suspected of having Crohn's Disease (CD). In various embodiments, an in vitro method includes analysing the relative abundance of the host (human) DNA in said sample of stool or nucleic acid extracted or isolated from a stool sample from the host (human); determining the relative abundance of the host (human's) DNA in the sample; and associating the abundance of the host (human) DNA with the host (human) providing the stool sample, or the host (human) providing the stool sample from which the nucleic acid was extracted.

Abstract: This invention is related to the area of characterization of inflammation in relation with the gut microbiota, in metabolic and autoimmune disorders. In particular, it relates to the identification of gene signatures which can be used as a marker predictive of inflammation associated diseases, such as liver-related metabolic disorders, in particular to the evolution of benign steatosis towards its most severe forms (steatohepatitis and cirrhosis) or autoimmune disorders, in particular inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis). These gene signatures can therefore be used as a means of diagnosis, prognosis, stratification for drug studies, for monitoring patient and for assigning an appropriate treatment.
