Title:
METHODS AND KITS FOR PREDICTING A RESPONSE TO AN ERYTHROPOIETIC AGENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/163506
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Methods for predicting a response to an erythropoietic agent in a subject include providing a biological sample from the subject, and determining an amount in the sample of at least one peptide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS: 1-17. If there is a measurable difference in the amount of the at least one peptide in the sample, when compared to a control level of the same peptide, the subject is then predicted to have a good response or a poor response to the erythropoietic agent. Kits for predicting a response to an erythropoietic agent are further provided and include one or more antibodies, or fragments thereof, that specifically recognize a peptide of SEQ ID NOS: 1-17.
