The present invention provides a method of measuring the levels of APRIL in a biological sample, in a preferred embodiment, in serum. The diagnostic assays are useful in predicting an individual's likelihood of developing or currently suffering from an autoimmune disease, such as RA, predicting the future severity of the disease, and for methods for treating an individual clinically diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. This diagnostic test serves to predict a patient's likelihood to respond to a specific drug treatment, in particular treatment with APRIL antagonists, either singly or in combination with other immune suppressive drugs.

La présente invention concerne un procédé de mesure des niveaux d'APRIL dans un échantillon biologique, dans un mode de réalisation préféré, dans le sérum. Les tests diagnostiques sont utiles pour prédire la probabilité qu'un individu développe ou soit atteint au moment du test par une maladie auto-immune, telle que la RA, pour prédire la future gravité de la maladie, et pour des procédés de traitement d'un individu chez qui une maladie auto-immune a été cliniquement diagnostiquée. Ce test de diagnostic sert à prédire la probabilité qu'un patient réponde à un traitement médicamenteux spécifique, en particulier un traitement avec des antagonistes d'APRIL, seuls ou en combinaison avec d'autres médicaments immunosuppresseurs.
