Biomarkers of immune dysfunction in response to chronic stress, methods of use and diagnostic kits

摘要

Diagnostic biomarkers for diagnosing immune suppression/dysfunction. The diagnostic biomarkers are genes and/or transcripts that are up or down regulated compared to normal expression when a subject has been stressed either mentally and/or physically. The invention also relates to a method of detecting comprised or suppressed immune response in a subject by comparing certain diagnostic biomarkers in the subject to a control set of diagnostic biomarkers.

主权项

1. A set of isolated diagnostic biomarkers for diagnosing immune suppression/dysfunction, wherein said diagnostic biomarkers are genes or transcripts that have expression that are up-regulated or down-regulated upon stress when compared to a normal control.
