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

Disclosed are devices and methods for quantitatively evaluating the polypeptides contained in a body fluid sample and markers for detecting pathological states. The polypeptides are compared to reference values store d in a database. Said reference values are stored as data records of state- relevant polypeptides, which comprise at least one respective indication abo ut the probability for the polypeptides to occur or the concentration thereof f or a pathological state in samples of healthy and ill subjects.
