  • Publication number: 20160091497
    Abstract: Cardiovascular disease, e.g., congestive heart failure, is often first diagnosed after the onset of clinical symptoms, eliminating potential for early intervention. The invention provides a multi-marker immunoassay, including cardiac pathology and vascular inflammation biomarkers, yielding a more sensitive assay for early detection of CHF in plasma. A panel consisting of cardiac pathology (cTnI, BNP) and vascular inflammation (IL-6, TNF?, IL-17a) biomarkers provided a sensitivity of 94% for association with CHF.

  • Publication number: 20140234860
    Abstract: A method for characterizing a carcinoma in a subject. The method comprises assaying a sample of a bodily fluid derived from the subject for extracellular PKA activity and comparing the activity to a reference value. In the assay, a reaction mixture is prepared comprising the previously unfrozen sample, a PKA peptide substrate, a phosphorylation agent, the prepared mixture is incubated, and phosphorylated substrate formed in the incubated mixture is detected. The reference value is the amount of phosphorylated substrate formed in a mixture under equivalent redox conditions for a sample of bodily fluid derived from a population of normal subjects of the same species.
