Low-Cost Blood Test Can Measure Proteins for Early Alzheimer's Detection

Low-cost blood test can measure proteins for early Alzheimer's detection

Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed a blood test that can identify early signs of Alzheimer's disease by measuring proteins linked to the condition. The new test, known as Penta-Plex Alzheimer's Disease Capture Sandwich Immunoassay (5ADCSI), detects five biomarkers simultaneously, which is more than existing blood tests and runs on equipment commonly used in many laboratories.
