Practical 1: Biomarkers (fluids)PURPOSE: to process and interpret fictive laboratory patient data in the diagnostic workup
of Alzheimer’s disease.
GOAL: transform raw laboratory data into clinical data using a standard curve & classify
patients according to the AT(N) biomarker profiles.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Calculate CSF concentrations for amyloid-beta 42, tau and phospho-tau
Check whether the values are within the reference values (see Table 1 below)
Label patients according to the AT(N) biomarker profiles of Jack et al. (see Table 1)
APPENDICES:
Raw data (excel file)
Threshold values (table 1) Data were analysed before Feb-2019
Clifford R. Jack, NIA-AA Research Framework: Toward a biological definition of
Alzheimer's disease, Alzheimer's & Dementia, Volume 14, Issue 4, 2018, Pages 535-
562, ISSN 1552-5260, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jalz.2018.02.018.)
, Presentation:
Done with sandwich ELISA
Then results are diluted in series
These are put in linear graph: Beer’s law plot (the absorbance)
Read concentrations (Raw data excel)
