Title:
METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING INFLAMMATORY DISEASES AND INFECTIONS BY THE DETERMINATION OF LASP-1/LAP-1
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003089934
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the early detection and identification, for a prognosis on the course, assessment of the severity and assessment during the course of therapy of inflammatory diseases and infections, in particular systemic infections similar to septicaemia and Alzheimer's disease. According to said method, the presence and/or quantity of the protein LASP-1 (SEQ ID NO:1), or the protein LAP-1 (SEQ ID NO:16), or an immunoreactive fragment of one of said proteins is determined, preferably as immunoreactivity, in a free and/or protein-bound form in a biological liquid, or optionally a tissue sample of a patient and conclusions are drawn from the presence and/or quantity of the specific proteins with regard to the existence, the expected course, the severity or the success of a therapy of the inflammatory disease or the infection.
