Described are glutathione adducts of fatty aldehydes (FALD-GSH) and methods useful in the detection of FALD-GSH in the identification of pathologies associated with leukocyte-mediated disease conditions, including eosinophil and neutrophil activation. Thus, the present disclosure provides methods of diagnosing a subject as having or being at risk of developing a leukocyte-mediated disease (LMD) comprising (a) detecting the level of glutathione adducts of 2-halofatty aldehydes (FALD-GSH) in a sample; (b) comparing the amount of FALD-GSH with a control or standard reflective of diseased and/or healthy levels of FALD-GSH; and (c) diagnosing the subject as having or being at risk of developing LMD if the level of FALD-GSH in the sample is higher than the control or standard.
本发明描述了脂肪醛的
谷胱甘肽加合物(FALD-GSH)和检测 FALD-GSH 的方法,这些方法可用于鉴定与白细胞介导的疾病(包括嗜酸性粒细胞和中性粒细胞活化)相关的病理学。因此,本公开提供了诊断受试者患有白细胞介导的疾病(LMD)或有患该病风险的方法,包括 (a) 检测样本中 2-脂肪醛的
谷胱甘肽加合物(FALD-GSH)的
水平;(b) 将 FALD-GSH 的含量与反映 FALD-GSH 患病和/或健康
水平的对照或标准进行比较;以及 (c) 如果样本中的 FALD-GSH
水平高于对照或标准,则诊断受试者患有 LMD 或有患 LMD 的风险。
