Detection of alpha-synuclein conformational variants from gastro-intestinal biopsy tissue as a potential biomarker for Parkinson's disease

Abstract:

Aims

Gastrointestinal (GI) a-synuclein (aSyn) detection as a potential biomarker of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is challenged by conflicting results of recent studies. To increase sensitivity and specificity, we applied three techniques to detect different conformations of aSyn in GI biopsies obtained from a longitudinal, clinically wellcharacterized cohort of PD patients and healthy controls (HC).

Methods

With immunohistochemistry (IHC), we used antibodies reactive ...
