Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

NK cell licensing predisposes patients to chronic inflammatory disease. Methods and kits to diagnose and treat chronic inflammatory disease based on genetic haplotype and cytokine profile are described herein.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method for treating a patient having a chronic inflammatory disease, the method comprising administering a 6-thiopurine or 6-thioguanine treatment regimen to the patient having the chronic inflammatory disease, wherein the patient is determined have a KIR/HLA-haplotype of an AA haplotype, homozygous for HLA-C1 and present for Bw6; a non-AA haplotype, present for KIR2DL2 and homozygous for HLA-C1; a non-AA haplotype, present for KIR2DL2 and heterozygous for HLA-C1/HLA-C2; or a non-AA haplotype, absent for KIR2DL2 and homozygous for HLA-C1, based on a KIR/HLA haplotype determination of the patient, and wherein the KIR/HLA-haplotype of the patient is determined by: (a) providing a biological sample from the patient; (b) obtaining nucleic acid from the biological sample; and (c) hybridizing the nucleic acid, to: (i) a first solid support comprising synthetic capture probes selective for KIR2DL3, KIR2DL1, KIR2DL4, KIR3DL1, KIR3DL2, KIR3DL3, KIR2DS4, KIR2DP1, KIR3DP1, KIR2DL5, KIR2DS1, KIR2DS2, KIR2DS3, KIR2DS5, and KIR3DS1; and (ii) a second solid support comprising capture probes selective for HLA-C1, HLA-C2, HLA-Bw4 and HLA-Bw6. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the biological sample is a blood sample. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient is a human. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the treatment regimen is a 6-thioguanine treatment regimen.
