  • BIOMARKERS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
    Publication number: 20120178637
    Abstract: Methods for classifying a test sample as indicative of Alzheimer's disease use protein and peptide biomarkers that are differentially expressed in the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) of subjects with Alzheimer's disease relative to age-matched controls. The methods also use protein and peptide signatures indicative of Alzheimer's disease. Microarrays and kits for detecting the protein and peptide biomarkers in CSF samples can be used to classify Alzheimer's disease state from test samples.
