ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides methods of diagnosing the presence of an autoimmune disease in a patient, methods of predicting the response of an autoimmune diseased patient to therapeutic treatment, and methods of monitoring an autoimmune patient's response to therapy. In particular, these methods comprise the use of a glycoprotein from the inner-ear organ of Corti reactive with a KHRI-3 monoclonal antibody.
