Abstract: By a genome-wide gene analysis of expression profiles of known or putative gene sequences in peripheral blood and biopsy samples, the present inventors have identified a consensus set of gene expression-based molecular biomarkers for distinguishing liver transplantation patients who have Acute Rejection (AR), Hepatitis C Virus Recurrence (HCV-R), both AR/HCV-R, or Acute Dysfunction No Rejection (ADNR). These molecular biomarkers are useful for diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of liver transplantation patients.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of detecting, predicting or monitoring a status or outcome of a transplant in a transplant recipient.

Abstract: By a genome-wide gene analysis of expression profiles of over 50,000 known or putative gene sequences in peripheral blood, the present inventors have identified a consensus set of gene expression-based molecular biomarkers associated with subclinical acute rejection (subAR). These genes sets are useful for diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring of subAR.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of detecting, predicting or monitoring a status or outcome of a transplant in a transplant recipient.

Abstract: The invention is a method of detecting or assessing solid organ graft (transplant) rejection by detecting donor-specific HLA alleles in a blood sample of a graft (transplant) recipient. The invention further comprises a method of detecting the presence of maternal cells in a blood sample of an offspring.

Abstract: By a genome-wide gene analysis of expression profiles of over 50,000 known or putative gene sequences in peripheral blood, the present inventors have identified a consensus set of gene expression-based molecular biomarkers associated with chronic allograft nephropathy and/or interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy CAN/IFTA and subtypes thereof. These genes sets are useful for diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring and/or subtyping of CAN/IFTA.

Abstract: The invention is a method of detecting or assessing solid organ graft (transplant) rejection and acute dysfunction—no rejection condition by detecting donor-specific HLA alleles in a blood sample of a graft (transplant) recipient.

Abstract: The invention concerns an electromagnetic lock comprising two parts, one of which comprises an electromagnet and the other a mobile armature capable of moving to counter the return springs when the electromagnet is energized. One of the parts has at least one protuberance extending from one edge of the corresponding part to the proximity of the other edge, the protuberance sized and positioned to be capable of penetrating into a housing of the other part when the parts coincide and the electromagnet is energized, the height of the protuberance being less than the distance normally separating the two parts when the electromagnet is not energized. This abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: The invention concerns an electromagnetic lock comprising two parts (1 and 2), one of consists of an electromagnet and the other comprising a mobile armature (3) capable of moving to counter the return springs when the electromagnet is energized. The invention is characterized in that one of the parts has at least one protuberance (6), extending from one edge (7) of the corresponding part to the proximity of the other edge (8), capable of penetrating into a housing (9) of the other part when said parts coincide and the electromagnet is energized, the height of said protuberance being less than the distance normally separating the two parts when the electromagnet is not energized.
