CA 2402314

Heart and brain fatty acid binding proteins (H-FABP, B-FABP) are markers for TSEs, especially CJD. The invention provides a diagnostic assay for either of these markers, preferably by enzyme immunoassay using a specific antibody thereto. Since H-FABP is also a marker for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), to distinguish CJD from AMI requires an assay specific to AMI, e.g. using troponin-1 or CK-MB as a marker, also to be carried out.

Les protéines de liaison d'acides gras du coeur et du cerveau (H-FABP, B-FABP) sont des marqueurs pour les encéphalopathies spongiformes transmissibles (TSE), notamment pour la maladie de Creutzfeldt-Jakob (CJD). La présente invention concerne un dosage diagnostique pour ces marqueurs, de préférence par dosage immunoenzymatique utilisant un anticorps spécifique de ceux-ci. Sachant que H-FABP est également un marqueur pour les infarctus aigus du myocarde (AMI), un dosage spécifique à AMI, nécessaire pour distinguer CJD de AMI, doit également être réalisé, par exemple par utilisation de troponine-1 ou de CK-MB, en tant que marqueur.
