  • Method and use of protein microarray technology and proteomic analysis to determine efficacy of human and xenographic cell, tissue and organ transplant
    Publication number: 20030232396
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems and methods for assessing the success of the transplant of a cell, tissue, or organ before and after transplant. Protein array technology is used to obtain a biomarker pattern for the cell, tissue, or organ that is being considered for transplant or that has been transplanted. Samples for the identification of biomarkers and biomarker patterns are obtained from the cell, tissue or organ itself, or from a body fluid of the donor or recipient. Sample biomarker data are compared to reference biomarker data obtained from donors, recipients or cells, tissues or organs that have been transplanted. Correlation of a sample biomarker pattern with the reference biomarker pattern, where transplant outcome for the samples used for the reference biomarkers is known, permits a suggested treatment determination. A computerized system to identify the condition of transplant before or after implantation is also provided.
