SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
in addressing the draWbacks of prior arts, the present inven

developed into detection kits for diagnosis of liver cirrhosis

The present invention is related to biomarkers for liver
diseases and method for using the same, in Which a method

An objective of the present invention is to provide biom

biomarkers are further developed into detection kits to detect
the presence of autoantibodies or autoantigens in specimens
for screening of liver diseases.

According to the present invention, the aforesaid variants
are obtained by substituting, deleting, inserting and/ or adding

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a
detection kit for liver diseases, comprising a set of biomarkers

It is noW knoWn that autoantibodies are present not just in
autoimmune diseases. More and more studies indicate that in
the immune response to cancer, autoantigen (from the tumor)
and autoantibody (from the body) exist in some cases. Thus
the detection of tumor autoantigen that elicits body response
may be directed toWards and applied in the testing, diagnosis,

?ed in Example 1, further assay of serum samples from nor
mal persons, liver cirrhosis patients and liver cancer patients
using immunoassay (ELISA, RIA or immuno?uorescence)
and the aforesaid 24 biomarkers is carried out. The assay
method includes the folloWing steps as shoWn in FIG. 2:

one of the amino acid sequences With SEQ ID N011 to SEQ

Adding 100 ul/Well biomarker solution to ELISAplate and let
it stand overnight under 40 C. for immobilization.
To continue the procedure, removing an unattached biom

buffer: PSB buffer+0.05% Tween-20), then adding a 200
ul/Well blocking buffer (choice of a. Gelatin-NET: 0.5%
and detecting absorbance at 450 nm.
To make sure the expression of the autoantibody can be
used for diagnosis of liver cirrhosis and/or liver cancer,
ELISA is employed to obtain the absorbance values of
biomarker With a coating buffer (choice of a. 50 mM
Na2HCO3, pH:9.6, or b. 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH:8.5, or c. 10
mM PBS, pH:7.4) to a concentration of 0.5~1 0 ug/ml, Where
the coating buffer is selected according to the PI value of the

Then adding in a 100 ul/Well TMB to elicit color reaction for
bination thereof to capture the autoantibody in the specimen;
In the example of enZyme-linked immunosorbent assay
(ELISA), the folloWing steps are taken: ?rstly diluting the
temperature, Washing the plate four times With the PBST
buffer and then adding in a 1000 ul/Well secondary antibody
(diluted 5000 times With the blocking buffer). At this time, the
