Definitions

  • the present invention in general relates to determination of neurological condition of an individual and in particular to measuring the quantity of a neuroprotective biomarker such as glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in concert with another biomarker of neurological condition.
  • a neuroprotective biomarker such as glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)
  • biomarkers as internal indicators of change to molecular or cellular level health condition of a subject.
  • biomarker detection uses a sample obtained from a subject, typically cerebrospinal fluid, blood, or plasma, and detects the biomarkers in that sample, biomarker detection holds the prospect of inexpensive, rapid, and objective measurement of neurological condition.
  • the attainment of rapid and objective indicators of neurological condition allows one to determine severity of a non-normal brain condition with a previously unrealized degree of objectivity, predict outcome, guide therapy of the condition, as well as monitor subject responsiveness and recovery. Additionally, such information as obtained from numerous subjects allows one to gain a degree of insight into the mechanism of brain injury.
  • biomarkers have been identified as being associated with severe traumatic brain injury as is often seen in vehicle collision and combat wounded subjects. These biomarkers included spectrin breakdown products such as SBDP150, SBDP150i, SBDP145 (calpain mediated acute neural necrosis), SBDP120 (caspase mediated delayed neural apoptosis), UCH-L1 (neuronal cell body damage marker), and MAP2 dendritic cell injury associated marker.
  • spectrin breakdown products such as SBDP150, SBDP150i, SBDP145 (calpain mediated acute neural necrosis), SBDP120 (caspase mediated delayed neural apoptosis), UCH-L1 (neuronal cell body damage marker), and MAP2 dendritic cell injury associated marker.
  • Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein a member of the cytoskeletal protein family, is the principal 8-9 nanometer intermediate filament of glial cells such as mature astrocytes of the central nervous system (CNS).
  • GFAP is a monomeric molecule with a molecular mass between 40 and 53 kDa and an isoelectric point between 5.7 and 5.8.
  • GFAP is highly brain specific protein that is not found outside the CNS. GFAP is released into the blood and CSF soon after brain injury.
  • astrocytes become reactive in a way that is characterized by rapid synthesis of GFAP termed astrogliosis or gliosis.
  • GFAP normally increases with age and there is a wide variation in the concentration and metabolic turnover of GFAP in brain tissue.
  • a process for determining the neurological condition of a subject or cells from the subject includes measuring a sample obtained from the subject or cells from the subject at a first time for a quantity of a first biomarker selected from the group of GFAP, UCH-L1, NSE, MAP2, or SBDP. The sample is also measured for a quantity of at least one additional neuroactive biomarker. Through comparison of the quantity of the first biomarker and the quantity of the at least one additional neuroactive biomarker to normal levels for each biomarker, the neurological condition of the subject is determined.
  • the assay includes: (a) a substrate for holding a sample isolated from a subject or the cells; (b) a first biomarker specifically binding agent wherein a first biomarker is one of GFAP, UCH-L1, NSE, MAP2, or SBDP; (c) a binding agent specific for another neuroactive biomarker (including one of GFAP, UCH-L1, NSE, MAP2, or SBDP not chosen as the first biomarker); and (d) printed instructions for reacting the first biomarker specific agent with a first portion of the sample so as to detect an amount of said first biomarker and reacting said at least one additional neuroactive biomarker specific agent with a second portion of the sample and the at least one additional neuroactive biomarker in the sample so as to detect an amount of said at least one additional neuroactive biomarker for relation to the condition of the subject or cells derived the subject.
  • a process for determining if a subject has suffered mild traumatic brain injury or moderate traumatic brain injury in an event includes measuring a sample obtained from the subject or cells from the subject at a first time after the event for a quantity of GFAP. By comparing the quantity of GFAP to normal levels of GFAP in a control, one determines if the subject has suffered mild traumatic brain injury or moderate traumatic brain injury in the event.
