  • Publication number: 20210109114
    Abstract: A method of detecting the presence, or monitoring the severity of a condition characterised by the presence of fragments of a marker protein in the brain of a patient. The method comprises: (i) providing a sample comprising macrophages obtained from the patient; and (ii) detecting the presence of the marker protein or fragments thereof in the macrophages. The presence of abnormal levels of the marker protein and/or fragments thereof in the macrophages is indicative of the presence of the condition in the patient. The condition and the marker proteins can be: Alzheimer's Disease and the Abeta peptide, Parkinson's Disease and ubiquitin, Multiple Sclerosis and myelin basic protein, FrontoTemporal Dementia and tau, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and tau, Parkinson's disease, Lewy Body dementia or Alzheimer's Disease and alpha-synuclein.

  • Publication number: 20190277864
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for detecting an individual as being at risk of developing a neurodegenerative disease, the method comprising: a) measuring the amount or concentration of neurofilament-light (NfL) in a sample obtained from the individual; and b) detecting the individual as being at risk of developing the disease by comparing the amount or concentration determined in step (a) to the amount or concentration of NfL in a control, wherein an increased value of NfL relative to the control is indicative of the future development of the disease, as well as to uses related thereto.
