Phosphorylated tau in human cerebrospinal fluid is a diagnostic marker for Alzheimer's disease.

TLDR
Elevated phosphorylated CSF-tau levels were significantly higher in AD patients than those in non-AD controls, indicating that elevated phosphorylation in CSF is a more specific diagnostic marker for AD.

CSF markers for incipient Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: The CSF biomarkers total tau protein, phosphorylated tauprotein, and the 42 amino-acid residue form of amyloid-beta may, if put in the right clinical context, prove to have high enough diagnostic accuracy to meet the challenge of identifying incipient AD in patients with MCI.

Decreased beta-amyloid1-42 and increased tau levels in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Alzheimer disease.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the 2 measures, CSF beta-amyloid and tau, are biological markers of AD pathophysiology and may have a potential clinical utility as biomarkers of disease.

Cleavage of Structural Proteins during the Assembly of the Head of Bacteriophage T4

TL;DR: Using an improved method of gel electrophoresis, many hitherto unknown proteins have been found in bacteriophage T4 and some of these have been identified with specific gene products.

Multiple isoforms of human microtubule-associated protein tau: sequences and localization in neurofibrillary tangles of Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: Antisera raised against synthetic peptides corresponding to these different human tau isoforms demonstrate that multiple tau protein isoforms are incorporated into the neurofibrillary tangles of Alzheimer's disease.

A68: a major subunit of paired helical filaments and derivatized forms of normal Tau

TL;DR: The major subunits of a class of PHFs are A68 proteins and the excessive or inappropriate phosphorylation of normal tau may change its apparent Mr, thus transforming tau into A68.

Detection of Proteins in Normal and Alzheimer's Disease Cerebrospinal Fluid with a Sensitive Sandwich Enzyme‐Linked Immunosorbent Assay

TL;DR: CSF levels are significantly increased in Alzheimer's disease and a large group of patients with a diversity of neurological diseases showed overlap with CSF levels in Alzheimer’s disease.
