Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008141615A1] The invention relates to a method for determining the survival prognosis of patients with malignant melanoma, according to which a sample from a patient is analysed for the presence of anti-CD28 auto-antibodies by bringing said sample into contact with CD28. If auto-antibodies bond to the CD28, this indicates a significantly worse survival prognosis of the patient with malignant melanoma. The invention also relates to the use of CD28 as a detection reagent for anti-CD28 auto-antibodies for the diagnosis of said diseases and to a kit that is designed for this purpose, comprising CD28 and marked anti-immunglobulin antibodies.
