Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Neuronal damage is detected by providing a biological sample derived from the subject, detecting in the sample the presence of a neurofilament subunits or their breakdown products, and correlating the presence and level of the neurofilament subunits and their breakdown products detected with the degree of neuronal injury.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method of detecting neuronal injury in a subject's central nervous system (CNS), the method comprising the steps of: (a) providing a blood, serum, or plasma sample from the subject; (b) contacting the blood, serum, or plasma sample with an antibody that specifically binds to NF-H in the sample; (c) detecting the presence or amount of NF-H in the sample, wherein NF-H can be detected in quantities as low as 50 pg in 50 μl; and (d) correlating the presence or amount of NF-H in the samp…
