Resumen:
Soluble fragments of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) generated by a- and ß-secretases, sAPPa and sAPPß, have been postulated as promising new cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers for the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the capacity of these soluble proteins to assemble has not been explored and could be relevant. Our aim is to characterize possible sAPP oligomers that could contribute to the quantification of sAPPa and sAPPß in CSF by ELISA, as well as to characterize the possible presence of soluble full-length APP (sAPPf).
