  1. The measurement of plasma Aβ peptides with an immunological assay can be improved by preconcentration via immunoprecipitation with an antibody against the Aβ amino-terminus and elution of the captured peptides by heating in a mild detergent-containing buffer.

  2. Two novel blood-based biomarker candidates measuring degradation of tau are associated with dementia: A prospective study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 62 out of 100. PloS one 2018-04-11 Biomarkers
