Cerebrospinal Fluid Levels of a 20–22 kDa NH2 Fragment of Human Tau Provide a Novel Neuronal Injury Biomarker in Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias
11 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
Truncation at N-terminal domain of tau protein is early associated with neurofibrillary pathology in several human tauopathies, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). In affected subjects, the monitoring of total (t-tau) and/or phosphorylated tau (p-tau) levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) provides a reliable, indirect evaluation of cellular changes occurring in vivo and the identification of additional CSF...
