A method and device for detecting or monitoring the treatment status of a selected physiological state or disease condition. The device has a subarray of genes which show a statistically significant change in gene level expression when compared with the control expression levels for that gene. The method involves applying a reporter-labeled messenger nucleic acid fraction to the array in the device, and comparing the pattern of gene expression on the array with that produced by labeled messenger nucleic acid from control cells. Also disclosed is a method of constructing the array. |
