BIOMARKERS FOR INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE

摘要

An in-vitro method for the prediction, prognosis and/or diagnosis of an inflammatory response associated with a condition or disease such as schizophrenia in a subject, the method comprising determining in a sample of a subject the level of 25-hydroxy vitamin D3, preferably in combination with the level of least one biomarker wherein the at least one biomarker is selected from innate chemokine (IL-8) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-9); and comparing the levels of said 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 and at least one biomarker to a control level of 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 and the at least one biomarker respectively in order to determine a positive or negative prediction, prognosis and/or diagnosis of said inflammatory response indicating an associated condition or disease, such as schizophrenia.
