Detection of Cerebrospinal Fluid Leakage by Specific Measurement of Transferrin Glycoforms
RPI ID: 2015-062-402 Innovation Summary:This invention offers a rapid, selective method for detecting cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks using a transferrin biomarker. A selective oxidation and binding step removes serum sialo-transferrin from a biological sample. The remaining asialo-transferrin, specific to CSF, is then measured. This biomolecular method...
