Clinical test for detection of alzheimer's disease

摘要

A method to aid in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease in a living patient is disclosed which tests cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) obtained from the patient. The CSF is tested using a Western blot analysis to determine the presence of an antigen present in soluble paired helical filaments which specifically binds to the monoclonal antibody produced by hybridoma ATCC HD11079.
