Research Abstract

The abnormal accumulation of citrullinated proteins were detected in the brain from Alzheimer's disease(AD) patients. By using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, two of the citrullinated proteins were identified as a vimentin and a glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP). In addition, we constructed a ELISA system which detect the citrullinated GFAP to develop diagnostic laboratory tests for early diagnosis of AD.
