| 20090239311 | Method of Differentially Diagnosing Dementias - In an ex vivo method of differentially diagnosing dementias selected from a group of demetias, which includes vascular dementias and frontotemporal lobe degenerations, a concentration of at least one carboxy-terminally truncated amyloid β peptide species as a biomarker is determined in a body fluid obtained from a patient, the at least one carboxy-terminally truncated amyloid β peptide species being selected from the group of species consisting of Aβ1-38, Aβ1-37 and Aβ1-39; and the concentration of the at least one carboxy-terminally truncated amyloid β peptide species is compared to a threshold concentration value for the respective one carboxy-terminally truncated amyloid β peptide species. | 09-24-2009 |
