  • Fragment of neurosecretory protein VGF as a biomarker for Alzheimer's disease
    Publication number: 20070015221
    Abstract: The present invention provides a neurosecretory protein VGF peptide useful in qualifying Alzheimer's disease status in a patient. In particular, this peptide and modified forms thereof may be used to classify a subject sample as Alzheimer's disease or non-Alzheimer's disease. The peptide biomarker can be detected by SELDI mass spectrometry.

  • Biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease
    Publication number: 20050244890
    Abstract: The present invention provides protein-based biomarkers and biomarker combinations that are useful in qualifying Alzheimer's disease status in a patient. In particular, the biomarkers of this invention are useful to classify a subject sample as Alzheimer's or non-Alzheimer's dementia or normal. The biomarkers can be detected by SELDI mass spectrometry. In addition, the invention provides appropriate treatment interventions and methods for measuring response to treatment. Certain biomarkers of the invention may also be suitable for employment as radio-labeled ligands in non-invasive imaging techniques such as Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
