Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Neurofilament (Nf) aggregates are a common pathological feature of neurodegenerative disorders. Although Nf levels have been investigated as a potential disease biomarker, Nf aggregates may mask Nf epitopes, preventing accurate quantification by immunoassay. Using the SOD1(G93A) mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, we developed a method to disrupt Nf aggregates, allowing optimal immunoassay...
