The invention relates to the diagnosis of components in human or animal body fluids, tissues and/or biomaterials. More specifically the invention relates to the use of precursors of enkephalins and/or its fragments isolated from body fluids, tissues or other biomaterials as marker peptide or medical diagnositics as well as for the diagnostic detection of the course prognosis and course control of diseases/disorders comprising diseases/disorders of the central nervous system, neurodegenerative diseases, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, ischemia comprising myocardiac ishcemica, schizophrenia, diseases/disorders of the immune system, diseases/conditions of pain, chronic pain, migraine, tension type headache, tumor diseases/cancer comprising lymphoblastic leukaemia, malignant brain tumors, adenomas, in particular human pituitary adenomas, disorders of the blood brain barrier, multiple sclerosis, inflammation, chronic arthritis, infectious diseases, bacterial and viral infections, in particular infections of Gram-positive bacteria, borna diseases virus infections, peritonitis, intoxication, AIDS, stress, trauma comprising head trauma, infarction, in particular cerebral infarction, heart and cardiovascular diseases comprising coronary heart disease, bone and skin disorders, malaria chronic/obstructive pulmonary disease and cerebral damage. The invention further provides antibodies ofr binding to certain proteins and their fragments, more specifically proenkephalin and its fragments. In accordance with the invention, a kit useful for the above mentioned diagnosis is also provided. |
