Abstract: The present invention in general relates to the field of antibody profiling in spondyloarthritis. In particular, the inventors found that antibody levels against selected peptides are raised in spondylarthritis patients, and herein provide a diagnostic method and kit comprising such peptides for use in the diagnosis of spondyloarthritis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the diagnosis of autoimmune disorders, more specifically to the diagnosis of rheumatoid disorders, chronic autoimmune arthritis and even more specifically to the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. A biomarker panel is provided which can be used to detect if a subject has rheumatoid arthritis. Also described are methods of identification of such biomarkers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a modified phage display that allows the specific detection of citrullinated proteins. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for citrullinating proteins displayed by phage, without losing phage infectivity, and the detection of those proteins by biopanning. In a preferred embodiment, the phage is a T7 phage.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of generating controlled mutations in a template nucleic acid sequence. Diverse oligonucleotides are hybridized to the template nucleic acid. The diverse oligonucleotides can have defined termini and length, and can be derived from a natural or synthetic source. Hybridization conditions are controlled to favor few or many mismatches between the diverse oligonucleotide and the template. Diversity strands encoding new variants are produced from the diverse oligonucleotides. The new variants that are generated can be screened for an improved property. In some implementations, the diverse oligonucleotides are derived from diverse nucleic acids by cleavage using that is directed by a cleavage-directing oligonucleotide.
