摘要 |
The invention is directed to methods and compositions for collecting immune cells, preferably peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), before or after an intervention, extracting microRNA-comprising RNA from said cells, quantifying microRNAs within the extracted RNA, determining one or more microRNAs that display a bimodal response amongst a statistically sufficient number of patient samples. Patients are then preferably segregated into groups according to their response. |
