METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR ASSESSING PREDICTING RESPONSIVENESS TO A TNF INHIBITOR
Methods, systems (e.g., computer systems), compositions, and kits are provided for predicting whether an individual will respond to treatment with a TNF inhibitor, for determining a treatment regimen for an individual (e.g. a therapy that does or does not include administration of a TNF inhibitor), and for treating an individual. The subject methods include measuring an expression level of an RGS1 expression product and/or an expression level of an IL11 expression product in a biological sample from an individual. In some cases, the methods include a step of calculating a TNF inhibitor signature score from measured expression levels (e.g., calculating a geometric mean of the expression levels of an RGS1 expression product and an IL11 expression product). After comparing measured expression levels and/or a calculated TNF inhibitor signature score with a reference, one can predict whether an individual will respond to treatment with a TNF inhibitor.
ACTIVATABLE ANTIBODIES THAT BIND EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF

DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF ECZEMA AND PSORIASIS
The present invention relates to a method of diagnosing eczema and/or psoriasis, wherein said method differentiates between eczema and psoriasis, and comprises determining the expression of at least two markers in a sample taken from an individual, wherein said at least two markers are selected from CCL27, NOS2, IL36G, KLK13, SOST, NPTX1, PLA2G4D, GDA, IL36A, TGM1, CLEC4G, IL13, TCN1, TMPRSS11D and RHCG, provided that said at least two markers consist of or comprise (a) CCL27 and NOS2; (b) CCL27 and KLK13; (c) IL36G and KLK13; (d) CCL27 and IL36G; (e) NOS2 and IL36G; (f) NOS2 and KLK13; (g) SOST; or (h) NPTX1; and assessing on the basis of the expression of said at least two markers whether the individual is afflicted with eczema and/or psoriasis.
GENETIC POLYMORPHISMS ASSOCIATED WITH PSORIASIS, METHODS OF DETECTION AND USES THEREOF
The present invention is based on the discovery of genetic polymorphisms that are associated with psoriasis and related pathologies. In particular, the present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules containing the polymorphisms, including groups of nucleic acid molecules that may be used as a signature marker set, such as a haplotype, a diplotype, variant proteins encoded by such nucleic acid molecules, reagents for detecting the polymorphic nucleic acid molecules and proteins, and methods of using the nucleic acid and proteins as well as methods of using reagents for their detection.
Activatable antibodies that bind epidermal growth factor receptor and methods of use thereof
The invention relates generally to variant activatable antibodies that include a masking moiety (MM), a cleavable moiety (CM), and an antibody (AB) that specifically binds to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and to methods of making and using these variant anti-EGFR activatable antibodies in a variety of therapeutic, diagnostic and prophylactic indications.
METHOD OF USING AN ANTI-EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR (EGFR) ACTIVATABLE ANTIBODY TO DETECT THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF A CLEAVING AGENT AND EGFR
The invention relates generally to variant activatable antibodies that include a masking moiety (MM), a cleavable moiety (CM), and an antibody (AB) that specifically binds to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and to methods of making and using these variant anti-EGFR activatable antibodies in a variety of therapeutic, diagnostic and prophylactic indications.
