61 METHOD OF DIAGNOSING AND TREATING INTERSTITIAL CYSTITIS US13498411 2010-09-23 US20120177665A1 2012-07-12 Samuel K Chacko
A method for diagnosing, or differentially diagnosing, interstitial cystitis (IC) involves detecting or measuring increased expression of a biomarker Endothelin 1 (ET-1) in a biological sample from a mammalian subject, particularly in the urine or urothelial tissue. An increased level of expression of ET-1 above the level of expression in the same sample of a healthy mammalian subject is an indication of a diagnosis of IC. Such diagnosis may further involve identify other clinical symptoms of IC. Additionally the method may use additional biomarkers, such as Hb-EFG, EGF, APF, IL-8, IL-6, and cGMP. Assay methods and diagnostic reagents and kits for such diagnosis are provided. Methods and compositions for treating IC by reducing the action, production or synthesis of ET-1 in the urine or urothelium and/or inhibiting its binding to its ETA and/or ETB receptors are also provided.
62 URINARY TRYPSIN INHIBITORS AS DIAGNOSTIC AID FOR INTERSTITIAL CYSTITIS US13384013 2010-07-12 US20120115174A1 2012-05-10 Michael J. Pugia
A method aiding the diagnosis of interstitial cystitis involving the combination of an infection marker and an inflammation marker. More specifically, the method includes correlating the presence of urinary trypsin inhibitors in urine with the absence of traditional infection markers in urine to aid in the diagnosis of interstitial cystitis. The method provides for a differential diagnosis between kidney disease, infection and chronic inflammation with a noninvasive urine test. Assay devices and kits, as well as analyzers and systems are also described that utilize the methodology.
63 CELL-BASED DETECTION OF APF THROUGH ITS INTERACTION WITH CKAP4 FOR DIAGNOSIS OF INTERSTITIAL CYSTITIS US13133244 2009-12-10 US20110244493A1 2011-10-06 David Alan Zacharias; Sonia Lobo Planey
An assay system designed to detect a protein biomarker in urine that is diagnostic for interstitial cystitis (IC). The presence of a 9 amino acid glycopeptide, antiproliferative factor (APF), in urine is unique to patients with IC. Urine samples from patients who exhibit symptoms consistent with IC are added to the assay system. Binding of APF to the cytoskeletal associated protein 4 (CKAP4) is positive for the presence of APF in urine and diagnostic for IC. The diagnostic system is a significant and surprising advance in diagnosis of IC and has commercial applications relevant to women and men who suffer from symptoms consistent with IC.

70 DETERMINATION OF THE INTEGRITY OF RNA US12548226 2009-08-26 US20100057371A1 2010-03-04 Vladimir Denisov
Methods, systems, and apparatus make a determination of a level of integrity of a sample of biomolecules. For example, the determination of the integrity of RNA in a sample may be done in a fast and reproducible manner, such that the user can be assured of accuracy of a test (e.g. quantitative polymerase chain reaction qPCR) on the sample and compare results of different samples. The determination of integrity of an RNA sample is performed by comparing a size profile to reference size profiles (degradation standards) obtained from degradation over different lengths of times. As the reference scale of the level of integrity is derived from the actual degradation that occurs in a sample, high accuracy, reproducibility, and efficiency is provided.
