Abstract:
A method of preparing a biomap for the classification of a patient sample according to pathways associated with a disease state, the method comprising:contacting said patient sample in a test cell culture with a plurality of factors in an amount and incubating for a time sufficient to induce a plurality of pathways active in said cell culture; measuring at least four parameters selected from the group consisting of ICAM, VCAM, E-selectin, IL-8, Mig, HLA-DR, MCP-1, CD69, CD14, CD142, CD40, Eotaxin3, IL-1alpha, M-CSF, and CD38 and comparing the measurement of said at least four parameters with the measurement from a control cell culture, and recording said measurements of said at least four parameters to produce a biomap, wherein said biomap is indicative of the pathways that are active in said cell culture.
