摘要
Diagnostic method for multiple sclerosis or tumors, or the risk of developing them, by testing for presence of the wild-type SARG (= SCF (stem cell factor)-apoptosis response gene) protein, or the nucleic acid encoding it, in a patient sample. Absence of the wild-type SARG or protein is a positive diagnosis, is new. The sample used is a material that, in a healthy subject, does contain SARG or its protein. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) nucleic acid (I) that encodes rat, mouse or human SARG, and has a 1037, 1029 and 1082 base pair sequence, given in the specification; (2) derivatives (Ia) of (I) that have a nucleotide exchange or deletion, in the coding region, and serve as markers for multiple sclerosis (MS) or tumors, or risk of developing them; (3) nucleic acid probe for the new method comprising a fragment of (I), or its mutants, with at least 12, preferably 20, nucleotides; (4) polypeptide sequences (II) for rat, mouse or human SARG proteins, having a 158, 158 and 161 amino acid sequence, given in the specification; (5) derivatives (IIa) of (II) with an amino acid exchange or deletion; (6) preparation of antibodies by immunization with (II) or (IIa), optionally followed by fusion of spleen cells to form hybridomas; (7) kit for the new diagnostic methods; and (8) transgenic animals having a mutated or deleted SARG incorporated, and optionally stably integrated, into the animal's genome by recombinant methods.
