Abstract:
PURPOSE: A marker for early diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy (DR) is provided to early diagnose DR and to significantly predict DR progression by measuring and comparing the expression level of genes or proteins of which expression is reduced in a patient with DR. CONSTITUTION: A composition for diagnosing DR contains an agent which measures mRNA level or protein level of one or more genes selected from the group consisting of prothrombin, apolipoprotein A1, alpha-2-macroglobulin, and complement factor H. A kit for diagnosing DR contains the composition. A method for providing information for diagnosing DR comprises the steps of: measuring the expression level of the genes or proteins selected from the group consisting of prothrombin, apolipoprotein A1, alpha-2-macroglobulin, and complement factor H; and comparing the expression level with the expression level of a control group sample.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for monitoring efficiency for removing highly expressed proteins and/or collecting lowly expressed proteins from blood in real-time is provided. CONSTITUTION: A method for monitoring efficiency of removing highly expressed proteins or lowerly expressed proteins in blood comprises: a step of binding fluorescence or UV marker with the proteins in a blood sample; and a step of passing the blood sample through a column for removing highly expressed proteins. The fluorescence or UV marker is a GFP(green fluorescent protein), mGFP(modified GFP), EGFP(enhanced GFP), RFP(red fluorescent protein), mRFP, ERFP, BFP(blue fluorescent protein), EBFP, YFP(yellow fluorescent protein), EYFP, CFP(cyan fluorescent protein), or ECFP.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A marker for diagnosing pancreatic cancer is provided to early diagnose pancreatic cancer by combination according to specificity and sensitivity. CONSTITUTION: A marker for diagnosing pancreatic cancer is selected among alpha-1-anti chymotrypsin, alpha-1-antitrypsin, alpha-2-macroglobulin, ceruloplasmin, complement factor B, complement C4A, complement C4 gamma chain, complement C9, haptoglobin, hemopexin, kininogen, plasma protease C1 inhibitor, thyroxine binding globulin, transferrin, vitronectin, zinc alpha-2-glycoprotein, apolipoprotein A1, apolipoprotein A2, apolipoprotein A4, gelsolin, inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H1, and pigment epithelium derived factor. Pancreatic cancer is diagnosed using a tissue, whole blood, plasma, or serum.
