  • Biomarkers for sepsis
    Patent number: 8029982
    Abstract: Biomarkers for sepsis and resulting mortality can be detected by assaying blood samples. Changes in the concentration of the biomarkers can be used to indicate sepsis, risk of sepsis, progression of sepsis, remission from sepsis, and risk of mortality. Changes can be evaluated relative to data sets, natural or synthetic or semisynthetic control samples, or patient samples collected at different time points. Some biomarkers' concentrations are elevated during disease and some are depressed. These are termed informative biomarkers. Some biomarkers are diagnostic in combination with others. Individual biomarkers may be weighted when used in combinations. Biomarkers can be assessed in individual, isolated or assays, in parallel assays, or in single-pot assays.

  • METHODS FOR EVALUATING OSTEOARTHRITIS RISK
    Publication number: 20100150838
    Abstract: Methods are provided for evaluating osteoarthritis (OA), for example for diagnosing OA, to confirm a diagnosis of OA, to assess or prognose progression of OA, determining the severity of a subject who has OA, and determining a subject's risk of developing OA in the future, as are arrays and kits that can be used to practice the methods. In particular examples, the method includes determining an amount of activity (such as an amount of protein present or an amount of expression) of OA risk-related molecules, such as soluble vascular adhesion protein 1 (sVAP-1) or interleukin-15 (IL-15). Also provided are methods of identifying one or more compounds that alter the activity of an OA-related molecule, thereby identifying potential anti-osteoarthritis drugs.

  • Chemokine PARC suppresses specific cytokine production
    Publication number: 20040101510
    Abstract: We measured the levels of 78 different cytokines and growth factors in culture supernatants to determine the cytokine profiles of cells treated with PARC. We found that specific cytokines were suppressed by PARC. PARC can be used to treat diseases such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, myeloproliferative disorders, and coronary artery disease, which are characterized by too much mitosis.
