METHOD FOR RECOGNISING ACUTE GENERALISED INFLAMMATORY CONDITIONS (SIRS), SEPSIS, SEPSIS-LIKE CONDITIONS AND SYSTEMIC INFECTIONS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for in vitro recognition of SIRS, sepsis and/or sepsis-like conditions. Said method enables the degree of severity to be evaluated and/or assessment during the course of therapy of sepsis and serious infections, especially sepsis-like systemic infections. The invention also relates to the use of recombinant or synthetically produced nucleic acid sequences or peptide sequences derived therefrom as a calibrator in sepsis-assays and/or in order to assess the effect and toxicity in active substance screening and/or in the production of therapeutics in order to prevent and treat SIRS, sepsis, sepsis-like systemic inflammatory conditions and sepsis-like systemic infections.
