Zusammenfassung: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for the screening, diagnosis and prognosis of Alzheimer's disease of mammals, the identification of mammals having high risk of the disease and the monitoring of the effectiveness of a treatment applied to a mammal of Alzheimer's disease. SOLUTION: The present invention provides methods and compositions for screening, diagnosis and prognosis of Alzheimer's disease, for monitoring the effectiveness of Alzheimer's disease treatment, and for drug development. Alzheimer's disease-associated features (AFs), detectable by two-dimensional electrophoresis of cerebrospinal fluid, serum or plasma are described. The invention further provides Alzheimer's disease-associated protein isoforms (APIs) detectable in cerebrospinal fluid, serum or plasma, preparations comprising isolated APIs antibodies immunospecific for APIs, pharmaceutical compositions, diagnostic and therapeutic methods, and kits comprising or based on the same.
