Abstract
Methods and kits are provided for assessing radiation injury and exposure in a mammal. The methods comprise the steps of: obtaining one or more test samples from the mammal, contacting the test samples with an antibody immunoreactive with a citrullinated protein to form an immunocomplex; and detecting the immunocomplex with an ELISA; wherein a decrease in the quantity of the immunocomplex in the test samples, as compared to the quantity of immunocomplexes formed under identical conditions with the same antibody and a control sample from one or more mammals known to have a lower degree of radiation injury or exposure, indicates a higher degree of radiation injury and exposure to the mammal. The information obtained from such methods can be used by a clinician to accurately assess the extent of radiation injury/exposure in the mammal, and thus will provide a valuable tool for determining treatment protocols on a subject by subject basis.
