Patent ID: 7888049

Claim:
A nasal secretion assay kit for the detection of non-allergic rhinitis comprising: a. a nasal secretion gathering means; b. a first capture antibody, which will react with and form a complex with a capture substance selected from the group consisting of TH1 cells, INF-Gamma, CCR5 and CXCR3; c. a first detection antibody, which will react with the complex in (a) and will generate a detectable response if the complex is present; d. a second capture antibody, which will react with and form a complex with IL-4; and e. a second detection antibody, which will react with the complex in (d) and will generate a detectable response if the complex is present, wherein the first detectable response is distinguishable from the second detectable response, and wherein the presence of a detectable response in (c) and the absence of a detectable response in (e) indicates that a nasal secretion is the result of a non-allergic rhinitis.
