  1. Comparison of CSF and serum neurofilament light and heavy chain as differential diagnostic biomarkers for ALS

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 2021-08-20 Biomarkers

    Our results demonstrate that CSF NfL and NfH as well as serum NfL are equally suited for the differential diagnosis of ALS, whereas serum NfH appears to be slightly less potent.

  2. Lower Serum Antibodies Against Tau Protein and Heavy Neurofilament in Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2018-01-01 Drug development

    The different responses to these antigens suggest some antibody selectivity in AD.

  3. Patients with Alzheimer disease have elevated intrathecal synthesis of antibodies against tau protein and heavy neurofilament

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neuroimmunology 2012-09-02 Drug development

    The role of humoral immunity related to neuron- and disease-specific cytoskeletal proteins patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) is unknown.
