Preanalytical approaches to improve recovery of amyloid-β peptides from CSF as measured by immunological or mass spectrometry-based assays
Abstract Background Amyloid-β 1–42 (Aβ1–42) peptide is a well-established cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Reduced levels of Aβ1–42 are indicative of AD, but significant variation in the absolute concentrations of this analyte has been described for both healthy and...
