Abstract: The present invention provides methods for measuring the absolute concentration of Tau, and other protein, peptide fragments and proteoforms in CSF and plasma samples collected from a subject. Such biomolecules may be implicated in one or more neurological and neurodegenerative diseases or disorders. Also provided is a method for determining whether a therapeutic agent affects the CSF or plasma concentration of a central nervous system derived biomolecule. Also provided are kits for performing the methods of the invention.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for measuring the absolute concentration of a biomolecule of interest in a subject. Such biomolecules may be implicated in one or more neurological and neurodegenerative diseases or disorders. Also provided is a method for determining whether a therapeutic agent affects the in vivo metabolism of a central nervous system derived biomolecule. Also provided are kits for performing the methods of the invention.
Abstract: The invention generally relates to methods for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological and neurodegenerative diseases, disorders, and associated processes. Specifically, the present invention is directed toward methods to determine prognosis, diagnosis or efficacy of a therapeutic regimen by using a detectable label to measure levels of alpha-synuclein.
Abstract: Provided herein is an isolated antibody or antigen-binding fragment that specifically binds tau, the antibody or fragment comprising a heavy chain variable (VH) region and a light chain variable (VL) region having amino acid sequences set forth herein. Also provided are methods of preventing or treating a tauopathy in a subject, comprising administering to a human in need of therapy for a tauopathy with one or more antibodies or fragments as described herein, wherein the antibodies or antigen-binding fragment are administered under conditions and in an amount effective to prevent or treat the tauopathy.
