DIAGNOSTIC TESTS AND REAGENTS FOR DETECTING RISK OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND STROKE

摘要

The present invention makes available diagnostic assays and reagents for facilitating accurate diagnosis and subsequent monitoring of Alzheimer's disease and its progression, as well as determination of stroke occurrence in a patient. As described herein, the percentage T-lymphocytes of a unique T-lymphocyte phenotype (IgM+ T cells) is statistically correlated with Alzheimer's disease as well as the recent occurrence of a stroke.
