New generation Alzheimer’s diagnostics
A new generation of ELISAs provides standardized, automated analysis of beta-amyloid (Aß) peptides (Aß 1-42 and Aß 1-40) and total tau (T-tau) proteins in cerebrospinal fl uid (CSF), facilitating diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease in its early stages. The concentrations of these biomarkers reflect the Alzheimer’s-specific neuropathological changes in the brain. A significant decrease in Aß […]
