The invention relates to a method of diagnosis of colorectal cancer in a diagnostic sample of a valid body tissue taken from a human subject, which comprises detecting an increased concentration of a protein in the diagnostic sample, compared with a control, normal human sample, the protein being: transforming growth factor-beta induced protein IG-H3 (SwissProt Acc. No. Q15582); suppressor of G2 allele of SKP1 homolog (isoform 2) (SwissProt Acc. No. Q9Y2Z0-2); hypothetical protein (part of URG4) (SwissProt Acc. No. Q9NWR7); calponin-2 (SwissProt Acc. No. Q99439); heat shock protein HSP90-beta (SwissProt Acc. No. P08238); phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (SwissProt Acc. No. P18669); serpin C1 protein (SwissProt Acc. No. P01008); or haptoglobin precursor (SwissProt Acc. No. P00738); or a decreased concentration of a protein in the diagnostic sample, compared with a control, normal human sample, the protein being serotransferrin (SwissProt Acc. No. P02787); 26S proteasome subunit p40.5 (Swiss Prot Acc. No. Q9UNM7); aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B10 (SwissProt Acc. No. O60218); fructosamine-3-kinase (SwissProt Acc. No. Q9H479); peripherin (SwissProt Acc. No. P41219); alpha-2-macroglobulin (SwissProt Acc. No. P01023); serpin C1 protein (SwissProt Acc. No. P01008); or apolipoprotein A IV (SwissProt Acc. No. P06727). The same proteins can be used for prognosis by detecting changes in their concentration in the course of treatment for colorectal cancer.

The present invention relates to methods of detecting renal transplant rejection and other forms of renal damage. Protein markers or renal damage are provided, along with assays for detecting said markers. Also provided are methods for identifying markers of renal damage.

Markers of renal transplant rejection and renal damage

Methods and compositions relating to Alzheimer's disease are provided. Specifically, proteins that are differentially expressed in the Alzheimer's disease state relative to their expression in the normal state are provided. Proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease are identified and described. Methods of diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease using the differentially expressed proteins are also provided, as are methods for the identification and therapeutic use of compounds for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
