Abstract
Early detection and diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases has been hampered by the lack of sensitive testing. Real-time quaking induced conversion (RT-QuIC) has been used for the early and sensitive detection of prion-induced neurologic disease, and has more recently been adapted to detect misfolded alpha-synuclein and tau as biomarkers for neurodegenerative disease. Here we use full-length recombinant tau substrates to detect tau seeding activity in Alzheimer's disease and other human tauopathies.
神经退行性疾病的早期检测和诊断因缺乏灵敏的检测手段而受到阻碍。实时震荡诱导转换(RT-QuIC)已被用于早期灵敏检测朊病毒诱导的神经系统疾病,最近又被用于检测作为神经退行性疾病生物标志物的折叠错误的α-突触核蛋白和tau。在这里,我们使用全长重组 tau 底物来检测阿尔茨海默病和其他人类 tau 病的 tau 播种活性。
期刊介绍:
Prion is the first international peer-reviewed open access journal to focus exclusively on protein folding and misfolding, protein assembly disorders, protein-based and structural inheritance. The goal is to foster communication and rapid exchange of information through timely publication of important results using traditional as well as electronic formats. The overriding criteria for publication in Prion are originality, scientific merit and general interest.
