CA 2313164

A diagnostic method for assaying schizophrenia in a subject is provided wherein a preparation compris-ing platelet derived proteins or fractions thereof hav-ing a pI above about 6.5 is injected into a subject and the occurrence of delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction at the site of the injection is determined. A positive DTH reaction indicates that the tested subject has a high likelihood of being schizophrenic. The pro-tein preparation used in the diagnostic method is also provided as well as a method for its preparation and a kit for use in the diagnosis of schizophrenia using the above method.

L'invention concerne une technique diagnostique qui permet de détecter la schizophrénie chez un sujet. Selon la technique, on injecte à un sujet une préparation comprenant des protéines dérivées des plaquettes ou des fractions desdites protéines, ayant un pHi supérieur à 6,5 environ, puis on détermine la survenue d'une réaction de type hypersensibilité retardée sur le site de l'injection. Une réaction positive indique qu'il y a une forte probabilité pour que le sujet testé soit schizophrène. L'invention concerne également la préparation de protéines utilisée avec ladite technique diagnostique, ainsi qu'un procédé permettant de la préparer et une trousse destinée au diagnostic de la schizophrénie selon la technique ci-dessus.
