Patent Searching and Data


Title:
METHOD FOR STUDY, DETERMINATION OR EVALUATION BY GENE EXPRESSION ANALYSIS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/029838
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for the study, determination or evaluation of a disease condition in a SART-stressed animal or a pharmacological activity of a substance of interest (e.g., an analgetic activity, an autonomic imbalance-ameliorating activity, an anti-stress activity) on the animal at the gene level. A disease condition in a SART-stressed animal or a pharmacological activity of a substance of interest (particularly, an analgetic activity, an autonomic imbalance-ameliorating activity, an anti-stress activity) on the animal can be studied, determined or evaluated at the gene level by administering the substance to the SART-stressed animal and comprehensively analyzing the change in gene expression in a neural tissue of the animal. It becomes possible to search for a substance effective for a painful disease, a stress-induced disease or autonomic imbalance, to determine/evaluate the effect of the substance, or to analyze a target gene for the substance.
