METHOD FOR TESTING ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE BY ASSAYING DEGRADATION RATE OF beta-AMYLOID IN BLOOD AND DIAGNOSTIC REAGENT

摘要

Provided is a method of testing Alzheimer's disease using serum or plasma as a sample. It is found that a β-amyloid peptide added to a blood sample is degraded. The degradation activity thereof was compared between the blood samples of normal subjects and Alzheimer's disease patients, and it is also found that the degradation activity is significantly higher in the blood of the normal subjects.
