Other related details are as follows:
Application Number: JP,2022-130196
Category (FI): G01N33/68
Stage: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for detecting abnormal protein in a neurodegenerative disease which involves coagulation of abnormal protein by using head hair roots or a scalp, and a method for supporting diagnosis of the neurodegenerative disease which involves the coagulation of the abnormal protein.SOLUTION: A method for detecting abnormal protein in a neurodegenerative disease which involves coagulation of abnormal protein uses an RT-QUIC technique to detect the abnormal protein in roots of hairs of the head or in a scalp. There is also provided a method for supporting diagnosis of the neurodegenerative disease which involves the coagulation of the abnormal protein. The method includes the following steps (1) to (3) of: extracting protein from hairs of the head of a subject including the scalp or the roots of the hairs (step 1); detecting the abnormal protein by using the method for detection of the present invention (step 2); and selecting a subject with the abnormal protein detected (step 3).SELECTED DRAWING: None (Grant)
