Abstract: A method is provided in various embodiments for determining a profile data set for a subject with infectious disease or inflammatory conditions related to infectious disease based on a sample from the subject, wherein the sample provides a source of RNAs. The method includes using amplification for measuring the amount of RNA corresponding to at least 2 constituents from Table 1. The profile data set comprises the measure of each constituent, and amplification is performed under measurement conditions that are substantially repeatable.

Abstract: A method provides an index that is indicative of the state of a subject, as to a biological condition, based on a sample from the subject. An embodiment of this method includes: deriving from the sample a profile data set, the profile data set including a plurality of members, each member being a quantitative measure of the amount of a distinct RNA or protein constituent in a panel of constituents selected so that measurement of the constituents enables evaluation of the biological condition; and in deriving the profile data set, achieving such measure for each constituent under measurement conditions that are substantially repeatable; and applying values from the profile data set to an index function that provides a mapping from an instance of a profile data set into a single-valued measure of biological condition, so as to produce an index pertinent to the biological condition of the subject.

Abstract: Methods are provided for evaluating a biological condition of a subject using a calibrated profile data set derived from a data set having a plurality of members, each member being a quantitative measure of the amount of a subject's RNA or protein as distinct constituents in a panel of constituents. The biological condition may be a naturally occurring physiological state or may be responsive to treatment of the subject with one or more agents. Calibrated profile data sets may be used as a descriptive record for an agent.

Abstract: Gene expression data, in particular gene expression profiles, are created and used in the identification, monitoring and treatment of disease and characterization of biological conditions. Profile data sets are derived from subject samples and include quantitative substantially repeatable measures of a distinct amount of RNA or protein constituent in a panel selected to enable evaluation of a biological condition. Such profile data sets may be used to provide an index indicative of the biological state of a subject, which may be compared to a normative value of the index determined with respect to a relevant population of subjects.

Abstract: Rodent gene expression data, in particular, gene expression profiles, are created and used to predict the efficacy of therapeutic agents on human biological conditions. Gene Profile data sets are derived from rodent subject samples and include quantitative, substantially repeatable measures of a distinct amount of RNA or protein constituent(s) in a signature panel selected such that measurement of the constituent(s) enables measurement of a biological condition of interest in both human and rodent subjects. Such profile data sets may be used to predict the therapeutic efficacy of a therapeutic agent in humans.
