Methods for Identifying and Monitoring Drug Side Effects

摘要

The present invention relates generally to methods for identifying drug side effects by detecting perturbations in organ-specific molecular blood fingerprints. The invention further relates to methods for identifying drug-specific organ-specific molecular blood fingerprints. As such, the present invention provides compositions comprising organ-specific proteins, detection reagents for detecting such proteins, and panels and arrays for determining organ-specific molecular blood fingerprints.

主权项

1. A method for detecting a drug side effect comprising measuring in the blood of a subject taking the drug the level of a plurality of organ-specific proteins secreted from an organ wherein the levels of the plurality of organ-specific proteins together provide an organ-specific molecular blood fingerprint that indicates a drug side effect on the organ in the subject.
