Abstract excerpt
α-Synuclein aggregation underlies pathological changes in Lewy body dementia. Recent studies highlight structural variabilities associated with α-synuclein aggregates in patient populations. Here, we develop a quantitative real-time quaking-induced conversion (qRT-QuIC) assay to measure permissive α-synuclein fibril-templating activity in tissues and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The assay is anchored through...
