USE OF GENE ACTIVITY CLASSIFIERS FOR THE IN VITRO CLASSIFICATION OF GENE EXPRESSION PROFILES OF PATIENTS WITH INFECTIOUS/NON-INFECTIOUS MULTIPLE ORGAN FAILURE

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of gene activity markers for classification of patients suffering from infectious and non-infectious multiple organ failure, respectively. The present invention in particular relates to gene activity markers for classification of patients as “not infected without multiple organ failure” or as “not suffering from infectious multiple organ failure” or as “suffering from infectious multiple organ failure”, the gene activity markers being polynucleotides selected from the group consisting of: SEQ ID I.1, SEQ ID I.2, SEQ ID I.3, SEQ ID I.4, SEQ ID I.5, SEQ ID I.6, SEQ ID I.7, SEQ ID I.8 and SEQ ID I.9 or partial sequences thereof.
