Methods and compositions for diagnosis of inflammatory liver disease |
摘要 |
The present disclosure provides methods and compositions that find use in facilitating a diagnosis of inflammatory liver disease in a subject. The methods and compositions generally involve detection of eotaxin-3 (E3) levels, either alone or with levels of eotaxin-1 (E1), and optionally, with levels of CCL22 and, further optionally, with levels of IL15. These levels can be used to facilitate a diagnosis of a liver disease of at least one of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and/or to facilitate a differential diagnosis between AIH, PBC, and PSC. The methods and compositions of the present disclosure also find use in facilitating treatment decisions for a subject. |

1. A method detecting eotaxin-3 in a subject, the method comprising:
obtaining a biological sample obtained from a subject suspected of having at least one of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC); and detecting eotaxin-3 (E3) in the biological sample by contacting the biological sample with an anti-E3 antibody and detecting binding between E3 and the antibody. |
