Methods For Determination Of Calcineurin Activity And Uses In Predicting Therapeutic Outcomes

US Patent:

2010015, Jun 24, 2010

Filed:

Jan 20, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/690146

Inventors:

JAMES TUMLIN - SIGNAL MOUNTAIN TN, US
ALLAN D. KIRK - ATLANTA GA, US
BRIAN R. ROBERTS - SANDY SPRINGS GA, US
JENNIFER GOOCH - LILBURN GA, US

International Classification:

G01N 33/53, C12Q 1/02

US Classification:

435 71, 435 29

Abstract:

The methods of the disclosure provide fluorescence-based assays for calcineurin activity, especially in isolated T cells. The methods include the stimulation of the T cells with agents that specifically target the TCR with or without influencing co-stimulatory pathways. One TCR agonist is monoclonal antibodies specific for CD3, which more precisely distinguish the inducible activity of calcineurin than does an alternative method targeting the T cell receptor (CD3) combined with CD28 costimulation. This method more accurately distinguishes between the measured level of calcineurin activity of T cells from immunosuppressed transplant recipients and normal individuals, and thus has improved diagnostic accuracy with respect to the response of an individual to immunosuppressant therapy following an organ transplant.

US Patent:

2008012, May 29, 2008

Filed:

Jun 16, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/629934

Inventors:
