Publication number: 20190094245Abstract: This disclosure relates to the use of anti-?-synuclein antibody to diagnose an elevated level of ?-synuclein in the brain. Specifically, the disclosure relates to the method of assessing the levels of ?-synuclein in a blood plasma or CSF following administration to the test subject of an anti-?-synuclein antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, which can bind ?-synuclein with sufficient activity to alter the net efflux of ?-synuclein from brain to blood, or from brain to CSF.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2018Publication date: March 28, 2019Applicant: Biogen International Neuroscience GmbHInventors: Andreas Weihofen, Thomas Engber, Jan Grimm
