Abstract

Multicomponent analysis of variations of serum marker antibodies is an efficacious tool for preventive (pre-clinical) diagnosis of immune disorders causing serious diseases. Successful development of this method may lead to revision of the approaches accepted in modern medicine and facilitate practical transition to the prognosis-prevention paradigm. The study of antibody spectra reflecting individual genetic and epigenetic features provides a basis for prognostication of health and pathological conditions. We believe that in most cases early diagnosis of reversible pathologic processes their further development can be arrested which provides a real opportunity to preserve health.
