Circulating extracellular DNA levels are acutely elevated in ischaemic stroke and associated with innate immune system activation

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this work was to assess the ability of peripheral blood cell-free DNA (cfDNA) levels to identify ischaemic stroke early in the acute phase of care, as well as to examine the relationship between peripheral blood cfDNA levels and stroke-induced innate immune system activation. METHODS: Upon emergency department admission, peripheral blood samples were obtained from 43 patients...
