Surface tension and intrinsic amyloid fluorescence of serum and cerebrospinal fluid samples in Alzheimer ´s disease.

CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that values of surface tension are not a suitable biomarker for AD. However, the ratio of ThioflavinT-based fluorescence to intrinsic amyloid fluorescence in cerebrospinal fluid appears to be an acceptable supportive diagnostic biomarker for AD (its sensitivity was 61.1%, and the specificity 70.8% when compared with aged controls).
