To investigate the utility of a blood-based lab test as an aid in identifying patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Whole blood from subjects with MS, non-MS neurologic diseases, and healthy controls was centrifuged to isolate erythrocytes. Following the addition of exogenous C-peptide, the supernatant was assayed for remaining C-peptide using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The cohort included subjects with MS (n = 86), other non-MS neurologic diseases (OND n = 75), and healthy controls (n = 39). The average C-peptide bound to erythrocytes in MS samples (3.51 ± 0.59 pmol) was significantly higher than non-MS subjects (2.23 ± 0.51 pmol; p < 0.001) and healthy controls (1.99 ± 0.32 pmol; p < 0.001). Using a cutoff of 3.04 pmol of C-peptide uptake, the test exhibited a sensitivity of 98.3% and specificity of 89.5%. A receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curve generated from the ratio of the sensitivity to 1-selectivity resulted in an area under the curve of 0.97. Exogenous C-peptide binding to erythrocytes has potential value in distinguishing MS subjects from non-MS neurologic diseases and healthy controls. A blood-based diagnostic for Multiple Sclerosis is reported. Based on exogenous C-peptide binding to harvested red cells Results are independent of age, disease duration, therapies. Biomarkers and point of care diagnostics are lacking in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), despite hallmark features often found in many diagnosed patients. Efforts to determine causes of this breakdown are ongoing by many groups. Here, we report that the addition of a molecule that is naturally occurring in most humans to a sample of blood obtained in a simple blood draw, may serve as a fast and simple auxiliary test during the diagnosing stage of the disease.
