METHODS AND REAGENTS FOR IMPROVED DETECTION OF AMYLOID BETA PEPTIDES

摘要

The invention relates to methods for the diagnostic of a neurodegenerative disease, for the detection of a stage prior to a neurodegenerative disease or for distinguishing neurodegenerative disease from a stage prior to a neurodegenerative disease based on the level of certain pools of amyloid beta peptides which are either bound to plasma components or bound to blood cells as well as on certain calculated parameters which are obtained by an arithmetic combination of one or more of the amyloid peptide levels. The invention relates as well to kits for carrying out the above method.
