New test for Lyme in the works?
[Oct. 6th, 2008] Researchers at the University of Louisville’s James Graham
Brown Cancer Center have licensed a method they developed for analyzing blood
and other body fluids to a Louisville company.
Louisville Bioscience Inc., led by CEO Steve Benight, will pursue
commercialization of differential scanning calorimetry technology, which shows
scientists how blood proteins behave when heated.
This might allow doctors to diagnose complex diseases with simple blood tests,
the university said in a news release.
In preliminary tests, blood plasma from people with rheumatoid arthritis, Lyme
disease and lupus show test results that differ “significantly” from healthy
patients and show a distinctive pattern for each disease.
“We don’t know exactly why this happens; it may be that the disease processes
produce low levels of different proteins that interact with blood plasma in a
unique way,” researcher Jonathan Chaires said in a release.
Chaires worked with Nichola Garbett and A. Bennett Jenson to develop the
process, the university said.
Financial terms of the licensing agreement were not disclosed. The agreement,
which was negotiated by the University of Louisville Office of Technology
Transfer, went into effect Oct. 1 [2008], the university said.
