IMMUNOLOGICAL SIGNATURES AND PARAMETERS PREDICTING THERAPEUTIC RESPONSES TO ANTI-TNF THERAPY

摘要

The invention relates to a method of predicting therapeutic responses to anti-TNF blockers before anti-TNF therapy comprising analyzing immune parameters to selected stimuli in patients before therapy and its use for anti-TNF therapy. The invention relates also to a method of determining a predictive biomarker of response to anti-TNF therapy and to the use of the predictive biomarker obtained by the method.
