研究概览
简要总结
The goal of this study is to optimize pre-analytical cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) extracellular vesicle isolation protocols for increasing the detection of LRRK2 activity in human CSF
详细描述
Specific aims to accomplish this objective are:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To evaluate a series of extracellular vesicle isolation methods for their ability to enrich for LRRK2 and increase the detection of LRRK2 in CSF samples.
- To compare the measurements of LRRK2, p1292 LRRK2, Rabs and pRabs from the ECVs isolated using each method.
- To assess the inter-lab reliability of each method
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES
- To assess the ability of the network of sites to efficiently conduct a study involving biosample collection for PD research. Efficiency will be assessed using measures of the time taken to meet specific milestones within the study
- To assess the ability of the network to collect high quality biospecimens adhering to agreed-upon protocols.
- To gauge the willingness of participants to participate in subsequent Fox BioNet studies
