1. A method for manufacturing a kit for determining the health of a subject from a serum/plasma sample extracted from that subject, comprising the steps of:
for each antigen in a panel, cloning a biotin carboxyl carrier protein folding marker in-frame with a gene encoding the said antigen and expressing the resulting biotinylated antigen;
binding the biotinylated antigens to addressable locations on one or more streptavidin-coated substrates, thereby forming an antigen array;
such that the amount of autoantibodies from the sample binding to the antigens on the panel can be determined by exposing the substrate to the sample and measuring the response;
wherein the antigens comprise MAPK13 (HUMAN Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 13, CD96 (HUMAN T-cell surface protein tactile), FKBP3 (HUMAN Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase), PPM1A (HUMAN Protein phosphatase 1A), PHLDA1 (HUMAN Pleckstrin homology-like domain family A member 1), GLRX3 (HUMAN Glutaredoxin-3). FEN1 (HUMAN Flap endonuclease 1) and AURKA (HUMAN Aurora kinase A).
