Patent EP-1114998-A3 (EP)
Inventor: NAGELKERKEN ALEXANDER MARIA
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 2000-10-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for following the progres and/or treatment of multiple
sclerosis on the basis of at least one biological sample obtained from a person suffering from,
or suspected to suffer from, multiple sclerosis, said method comprising the steps of:
   a) providing a biological sample derived from a patient suffering from, or suspected to suffer
from, multiple sclerosis;   b) determining the amount of at least one of the cytokines from the group consisting of IL-18,
IL-12p40, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-10, TGF-β, IL-12Rβ1, IL-12Rβ2 and/or IL-12p35 of said first
biological sample; and optionally   c) comparing for one or more of the cytokines determined in step b) the value(s) obtained in
step b) with a reference value.    
     The invention allows determination of the success rate of treatment of multiple sclerosis
by discriminating between patients with multiple sclerosis. In particular, a distinction can be
made between relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis, secondary progressive multiple sclerosis
and primary progressive multiple sclerosis and healthy controls. More particularly the
invention allows determination of the success rate of treatment of multiple sclerosis with
interferon-beta (IFN-β) species such as IFN-β1b and IFN-β1a.

IPC: G11C16/26
Filed: 2000-12-06
Abstract: A nonvolatile memory that has a plurality of
floating gate type cell transistors (MC0,MC1,...)
comprises a read buffer circuit (PB), connected to the
bit line, that detects the threshold voltage states in
the cell transistor. Each cell transistor can hold 2 N 
threshold voltage states and accordingly, the read
buffer circuit reads N bits of data. For this purpose,
the read buffer circuit has a latch circuit (LATCH)
that latches the read data in accordance with the
detected threshold voltage state. This latch circuit
has a first (N17, N20) and second (N16, N18) latch
reversal circuit for reversing the latched state to the
first or second state. When the read buffer circuit
(PB) reads the first bit being held in the cell
transistor, the latch circuit in its initial state is
reversed or not reversed by the first latch reversal
circuit (N17, N20) in accordance with the detected
first and second threshold voltage state, or third and
fourth threshold voltage state, and that latch state is
output as the first data. Furthermore, when the lower
order second bit held in the cell transistor is read
next, the read buffer circuit is reversed or not
reversed from the latch state corresponding to the
first data above by the first latch reversal circuit in
accordance with the detected first or second threshold
voltage state. Then, it is reversed or not reversed by
the second latch reversal circuit (N16, N18) in
accordance with the detected third or fourth threshold
voltage state and the latch state is output as the
second data.
