Abstract
A method and a kit for establishing an in vitro prognosis on a patient exhibiting SIRS, the method comprising: (i) measuring the level of expression of the CX3CR1 gene in vitro from the biological material of a patient sample by bringing into contact said sample with a specific reagent of the CX3CR1 gene; and (ii) comparing the expression level of the CX3CR1 gene of the patient to a predetermined expression threshold; wherein (iii) if the expression level of the CX3CR1 gene of the patient is less than the predetermined expression threshold, the survival prognosis of the patient is poor, and if the expression level of the CX3CR1 gene of the patient is greater than the predetermined expression threshold, the survival prognosis of the patient is good.
