Description

The MILLIPLEX(R) Human Neurodegenerative Bead Panel 2 (HNDG2MAG-36K) is to be used for the simultaneous quantification of the following analytes in any combination: alpha1-Antitrypsin, Complement C4, CRP, MIP-4, PEDF, SAP. Neurodegenerative disease is a condition characterized by the deterioration of neurons or their myelin sheath over time in the brain and/or spinal cord. These neurons are responsible for such everyday activities as processing sensory information, making decisions, and controlling movement. Because these cells are not easily regenerated, excessive cumulative damage can lead to age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, as well as other conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and epilepsy. These disorders are devastating and expensive, both on a personal and global level, and as population demographics continue to change, a therapeutic solution is critical. Consequently, research is underway to identify biomarkers that will help scientists not only understand the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disease, but also identify people with these disorders before the onset of symptoms and potentially provide new therapeutic tools.
