DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION OF THE POLYPEPTIDES CONTAINED IN A BODY FLUID SAMPLE, AND MARKER FOR THE DETECTION OF PATHOLOGICAL STATES

摘要

Devices and processes for the quantitative evaluation of the polypeptides contained in a sample of body fluid and markers for recognizing pathological conditions are described. The polypeptides are compared with reference values stored in a data base. These reference values are stored as data records of polypeptides relevant to the condition, which respectively comprise at least some information about the probability of the occurrence and/or the concentration of the polypeptides for a pathological condition in samples of healthy and diseased subjects.
