Oligomeric/pS129 Alpha Synuclein LEAPS and Round Robin (2017)

The MJFox Foundation have assembled LEAPS team (linked-efforts to accelerate Parkinson’s solutions) to assess and cross-validate the various existing oligomeric and PS129 a-synuclein assays followed by initiation of a round robin where these assays will be used to assess pS129 and Oligomeric α-synuclein levels in well-characterized samples from PD and CT subjects.
