Abstract

Methods are provided for identifying biomarker proteins that exhibit differential expression in subjects with a first lung condition versus healthy subjects or subjects with a second lung condition. Also provided are compositions comprising these biomarker proteins and methods of using these biomarker proteins or panels thereof to diagnose, classify, and monitor various lung conditions. The methods and compositions provided herein may be used to diagnose or classify a subject as having lung cancer or a non-cancerous condition, and to distinguish between different types of cancer (e.g., malignant versus benign, SCLC versus NSCLC).

Claims (11)

1. A method of analyzing a biological sample of a subject having a pulmonary nodule, comprising:

determining expression levels of a panel of proteins present in a blood sample obtained from the subject by an immunoassay, wherein the panel of proteins comprises LG3BP and C163A.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the immunoassay is enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the panel of proteins further comprises at least one of ALDOA, FRIL, TSP1, COIA1, PEDF, MASP1, GELS, LUM, PTPRJ, IBP3, LRP1, ISLR, GRP78, TETN, PRDX1, CD14, BGH3, FIBA, and GSLG1.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pulmonary nodule of the subject has a diameter of less than or equal to 3 cm.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pulmonary nodule of the subject has a diameter of about 0.8 cm to 3.0 cm.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject is at risk of developing lung cancer.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject is 40 years or older.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the immunoassay comprises contacting the blood sample with a LG3BP antibody and a C163A antibody.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the panel of proteins consists of LG3BP and C163A.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has a smoking history.
