Patent ID: 7951775

Claim:
A method of determining the response of an individual to GnRH-I or GnRH-II receptor mediated upregulation of T-cell activity, the method comprising: isolating a T-cell population from the individual; providing to the T-cell population an effective amount of a molecule selected as being capable of stimulating the activity of, or upregulating the expression level of, a GnRH-I or a GnRH-II receptor in said T-cell population, said molecule being selected from the group consisting of GnRH-I, GnRH-II, a naturally occurring GnRH-I analog capable of stimulating the activity of the GnRH-I receptor, a naturally occurring GnRH-II analog capable of stimulating the activity of the GnRH-II receptor, and an anti-GnRH-I receptor antibody capable of stimulating the activity of the GnRH-I receptor; and monitoring a T-cell activity of the T-cell population.
