86 ischemic stroke, 100 PD, and 102 healthy cases were enrolled in the present study. Total protein amount in the red blood cells were quantified by BCA assay using spectrophotometer. Levels of oligomeric form of a-synuclein were characterized by a sandwich ELISA. Analysis of correlation analysis and receiver operating characteristic curve were conducted.
The levels of oligomeric form of a-synuclein of red blood cells in ischemic stroke and Parkinson’s disease patients were both significant higher than normal people. And the level of oligomeric form asynuclein showed a potential for diagnosis of ischemic stroke in clinic.
