摘要:
The invention relates to the use of at least one quantitative ratio (quotient) of two amyloid beta peptidea (A beta; Aß) which are different from one another in a sample of a bodily fluid of a test subject and/or patient in order to determine the probability (risk) of said test subject and/or patient suffering Alzheimer's disease (Morbus Alzheimer, AD) and/or to determine (diagnose) suffering from an early stage of Alzheimer's disease, wherein the amyloid beta peptides are selected from (a) Aß(1-42), (b) Aß(2-40) and (c) Aß(2-42) and wherein the quantitative ratio of (a) / (b) or vice versa and/or of (a) / (c) or vice versa is formed. The invention also relates to a corresponding method and to a kit for use in this connection.
摘要:
In an ex vivo method of differentially diagnosing dementias which include vascular dementias and/or frontotemporal lobe degenerations at least one carboxy-terminally truncated amyloid β peptide selected from the group consisting of Aβ1 -38, Aβ1-37 and Aβ1-39 is used as a biomarker in a body fluid of a patient.
摘要:
A method of diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease comprises the step of determining an amount of at least one species in a body fluid or a tissue homogenate sample which has been obtained from a patient. The at least one species is selected from a group of species having molecular masses in a range of 3870 to 3895 Da (Abeta) , 4520 to 4545 Da (Abeta 34) , 4802 to 4836 Da (Abeta 2-46 or Abeta 1-45) , 4837 to 4871 Da (Abeta 3-47) and 7720 to 7790 Da, respectively.
摘要:
Provided herein is a biosensor for conformation and secondary structure analysis, notably for the direct non-invasive qualitative secondary structure analysis of a single selected protein within a complex mixture, as e.g. a body fluid, by vibrational spectroscopic methods. For the analysis it is not required that the selected substance be isolated, concentrated, or pretreated by a special preparative procedure.
