Characterizing the proteins that make up SELDI-TOF profiles in this manner not only provides insight into the pathophysiology of the disease, but may also lead to the development of more direct diagnostic tools and novel therapeutic targets relevant to SARS-CoV. In addition, in both studies (7, 8 ) , the patients with SARS were well characterized in terms of timing of specimen collection and severity of disease. (8 ) chose to apply SELDI-TOF to the diagnosis of SARS, there are many other, more common infectious diseases, such as influenza, that would also benefit from more rapid and reliable diagnostic and prognostic tests. ./cache/cord-261952-xq6qney7.txt ./txt/cord-261952-xq6qney7.txt
