DETERMINING DISEASE OR IMMUNE SYSTEM FEATURES BASED ON ANALYSIS OF IMMUNE SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS

摘要

Methods for analyzing one or more elements, markers, ligands or other characteristics of the immune system of a body (e.g., of a human or other animal), and based on the analysis, determine a location of disease, identify immune system failure, and/or determine treatments based on disease location or immune system failure. All or a part of the immune system process may be analyzed to identify specific features of the immune system, e.g., which may indicate that the disease will evade the immune system and produce a negative outcome. Therapy may be employed to correct immune system failure rather than addressing the disease directly.
