Abstract
The application relates to the use of a nucleic acid and/or protein chip comprising probe nucleic acids and/or probe proteins, which are specific for cellular stress, inflammatory and immune reactions, associated with stress, inflammatory and immune reactions, induced during acute phase responses or any combination thereof and which are immobilised on a carrier for the diagnosis of sepsis or sepsis related syndrome.
Claims10
An assay system for diagnosis of sepsis or sepsis related syndrome in a body, wherein the assay system comprises a chip and a plurality of nucleic acid probes immobilized to the chip, wherein each of the nucleic acid probes in the plurality of nucleic acid probes are hybridizable to at least a fragment of a gene, and the gene encodes a molecule associated with a body response to sepsis or infection, wherein hybridization of the plurality of probes provides an indication concerning sepsis or sepsis related syndrome.
