The present invention relates to a method of determining whether a subject having or suspected of having inflammatory disease may potentially benefit from treatment with a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) inhibitor, which method comprises
(I) obtaining an inflammatory tissue sample from the subject; and
(II) determining whether p38MAPK, in particular p38MAPKa, is expressed in the tissue sample.
The present invention further relates to the use of an antibody against the p38MAPK protein for determining whether a subject having or suspected of having inflammatory disease may benefit from treatment with a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) inhibitor; kits for determining from an inflammatory tissue sample whether a subject having or suspected of having inflammatory disease may benefit from treatment with a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) inhibitor; and to the corresponding use of said kit.
                            本发明涉及一种确定患有或疑似患有炎症疾病的受试者是否可能从p38丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(p38
MAPK)
抑制剂的治疗中获益的方法,该方法包括
(I) 获取受试者的炎症组织样本;以及
(II) 确定组织样本中是否表达 p38
MAPK,尤其是 p38
MAPKa。
本发明进一步涉及抗 p38
MAPK 蛋白的
抗体用于确定患有或疑似患有炎症性疾病的受试者是否可从 p38 丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(p38
MAPK)
抑制剂的治疗中获益;用于从炎症性组织样本中确定患有或疑似患有炎症性疾病的受试者是否可从 p38 丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(p38
MAPK)
抑制剂的治疗中获益的试剂盒;以及所述试剂盒的相应用途。
