QUANTITATION OF P97 TO DIAGNOSE AND MONITOR ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE

摘要

A method of diagnosing Alzheimer's Disease by quantitating p97 in a sample o f body fluid from a human individual comprising the steps of: a) obtaining a sample of body fluid from an individual suspected o f having Alzheimer's Disease, thereby obtaining a test sample; b) determining the amount of p97 in the test sample; and c) comparing the amount of p97 in the test sample with an amount of p97 in control samples, wherein the presence of an amount of p97 in the test sample which is elevated as compared with the amount of p97 in the control samples is indicative of the potential for Alzheimer's Disease.
