摘要
The present invention relates to the discovery of novel biomarkers of in vivo apoptosis based on a large number of caspase-like cleavage sites. These biomarkers are useful for detection and quantification of apoptosis in a biological sample. The invention also provides synthetic peptides and proteins corresponding to neo-epitopes created by proteolytic processing of these cleavage sites. The synthetic peptides can be used as standards to enable identification and quantitation of these biomarkers using mass spectrometry. The synthetic proteins can be used to generate antibodies and other binding reagents specific for these biomarkers. Methods for detecting apoptosis as well as for diagnosing or for providing a prognosis for a disease or disease state characterized by apoptosis are also provided herein. Finally, the invention provides compositions and kits for performing the methods of the invention.
