Abstract: Herein disclosed is a method for the normalization of an immunological test, characterized in that the presence of a comparable amount of cells is determined by a sandwich ELISA test in which the capture antibody includes at least one antibody that binds to at least one keratin selected from among keratin 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 13 and 18 and the detection antibody includes at least one antibody that binds to the selected keratin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the immunological diagnosis of a sample from a patient with a potential infection with an arbovirus, wherein a) a sample is brought into contact with a plurality of antigens that, separated from each other, are applied to a solid phase, wherein at least the following antigens are used: aa) the “non-structural protein 1” of a first arbovirus or an immunologically reactive part thereof having at least 8 amino acids, bb) an “envelope protein” of a first arbovirus or an immunologically reactive part thereof having at least 8 amino acids, cc) an “envelope protein” of a second arbovirus or an immunologically reactive part thereof having at least 8 amino acids, dd) the “non-structural protein 1” of a third arbovirus or an immunologically reactive part thereof having at least 8 amino acids and ee) an “envelope protein” of a third arbovirus or an immunologically reactive part thereof having at least 8 amino acids, b) the solid phase is washed to separate non-specific b

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the normalization of an immunological test characterized in that the presence of a comparable amount of cells is determined by a sandwich ELISA test wherein the capture antibody is at least one antibody which binds to at least one keratin selected from the group consisting of keratin 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 13 and 18 and the detection antibody is at least one antibody which binds to said keratin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a diagnostic test for the detection of an E7 protein of a human papilloma virus in a biological sample wherein a sandwich ELISA as capture antibody at least two different rabbit monoclonal antibodies which bind to at least two different epitopes are used and as detection antibody at least two different polyclonal anti E7 antibodies are used.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for the individual staging of the tumor disease of an individual cancer patient, a method for the individual decision on the method of treatment as well as a method for treating a cancer patient as well as their use in the treatment of various cancer diseases like colorectal tumor, prostate tumor, breast tumor, lung tumor, as primary tumors, tumor relapse and/or metastases. The present invention further provides a new prognosis factor in cancer treatment. This inventive method includes the step of analyzing at least one disseminated tumor cell present in a sample taken from a patient for the expression of at least one mRNA of at least one of growth factors, growth factor receptors and tumor associated transcripts.
