Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Biomarkers useful for diagnosing and assessing inflammatory disease are provided, along with kits for measuring their expression. The invention also provides predictive models, based on the biomarkers, as well as computer systems, and software embodiments of the models for scoring and optionally classifying samples. The biomarkers include at least two biomarkers selected from the DAIMRK group and the score is a disease activity index (DAI).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for generating quantitative data for a first subject comprising: performing at least one immunoassay on a first sample from the first subject to generate a first dataset comprising the quantitative data, wherein the quantitative data represents at least twelve protein markers comprising: chitinase 3-like 1 (cartilage glycoprotein-39) (CHI3L1); C-reactive protein, pentraxin-related (CRP); epidermal growth factor (beta-urogastrone) (EGF); inte…
