Conclusions
Our findings indicate that nAbs-α-Syn concentrations or affinities in healthy and diseased persons do not differ, independent of mutations in LRRK2.
Methods
Titers of nAbs-α-Syn were assessed with ELISA and binding affinities and kinetics with SPR. Within the patient cohort, we discriminated between idiopathic and genetic (LRRK2-mutated) variants.
Results
ELISA experiments revealed no significant differences in nAbs-α-Syn serum titers among the three cohorts. Moreover, the α-Syn avidity of nAbs-α-Syn was also unchanged. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that nAbs-α-Syn concentrations or affinities in healthy and diseased persons do not differ, independent of mutations in LRRK2.
