POLYMER MARKER INDICATIVE OF DISEASE STATE HAVING A MOLECULAR WEIGHT OF 1518 DALTONS

摘要

The instant invention involves the use of a combination of preparatory steps in conjunction with mass spectroscopy and time-of-flight detection procedures to maximize the diversity of biopolymers which are verfiable within a particular samole. The cohort of biopolymers verified within such a sample is then viewed with reference to their abbility to evidence at least one particular disease state; thereby enabling a diagnostician to gain the ability to characterize either the presence or absence of said at least one disease state relative to recognition of the presence and/or the absence of said biopolymer.
