Aptasensor for Myelin Basic Protein Detection in Animal Models
An aptasensor was developed to detect Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) in artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) with a limit of detection of 2 ng mL-1. It demonstrated reliable MBP detection under complex conditions.

Why it matters
MBP is a potential biomarker for neurodegenerative diseases like multiple sclerosis, highlighting the aptasensor's role in early detection and monitoring.
What this does not prove
Validation in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is needed to confirm effectiveness; current findings cannot directly inform human applications.

interventionMyelin basic protein (MBP) is released into cerebrospinal fluid during demyelination and is therefore a promising biomarker for the detection of neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
comparatorSelectivity was assessed with aptamer-free surfaces, cytochrome c, and human serum albumin (HSA) with much lower responses, while concentration-dependent MBP detection was maintained in aCSF despite the increased complexity of the matrix.
primary endpointMyelin basic protein (MBP) is released into cerebrospinal fluid during demyelination and is therefore a promising biomarker for the detection of neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
findingsThe aptasensor achieved a limit of detection of 11 ng mL-1 in PBS and 2 ng mL-1 in aCSF.
limitationsWith future validation in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples, the developed biosensor has the potential to enable sensitive, label-free detection of MBP in CSF for the identification and monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases.
