Tau protein and 14-3-3 protein in the differential diagnosis of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is made according to the typical clinical picture and can be supported by a positive 14-3-3 CSF immunoblot. Promising results for the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of tau-protein measurement in CSF already have been described in a smaller group of patients.
