Abstract: Biological markers that predict patient responsiveness to B-cell antagonists are provided. Also provided are methods of using such biological markers. In addition, methods for identifying patients suffering from an autoimmune disease, e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, who are not likely to respond to B-cell antagonists are provided, as are methods of treating such patients. Methods for selecting therapeutic agents to treat such patients are also provided.

Abstract: Methods of identifying, diagnosing, and prognosing rheumatoid arthritis are provided, as well as methods of treating rheumatoid arthritis. Also provided are methods for identifying effective rheumatoid arthritis therapeutic agents and predicting responsiveness to rheumatoid arthritis therapeutic agents.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions for treating various autoimmune diseases (such as systemic lupus erythematousu) with an interferon inhibitor (such as an anti-intereron-alpha monoclonal antibody). More specifically, the invention provides a method of diagnosing, monitoring and adjusting the treatment of such a patient by way of an interferon signature metric (interferon response gene measurement value), a certain anti-dsDNA antibody titre or being ENA? (levels of extractable nuclear antigens lower than a healthy level). Furthermore, the invention provides articles of manufacture associated with such a diagnosis.

Abstract: Methods and assays examining expression of one or more biomarkers in a sample are provided for predicting or indicating the effectiveness of treatment of a rheumatoid arthritis patient with a B-cell antagonist. Methods are provided for identifying patients whose rheumatoid arthritis is likely to be responsive to B-cell-antagonist, anti-rheumatoid arthritis therapy. Methods for treating such patients with B-cell antagonists that incorporate the above methodology are also provided. Further provided are kits and articles of manufacture useful for such methods.
