Study Notes
Types of AD Biomarkers
-
Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF): Analyzed via lumbar puncture, identifying brain tangles and plaques using CSF.
-
Amyloid and Tau: Analysed via PET scan. Includes molecular biomarkers.
-
Blood: Uses paramagnetic particles coupled with antibodies targeted to specific markers in the blood sample. Detection antibodies are added to the blood sample to produce a fluorescent product. The objective is to form an immunocomplex of the bead, bound protein, and detection antibody.
