Revised: 29 October 2014/Accepted: 1 November 2014/Published online: 7 November 2014© Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014 additional 35 kDa band on immunoblotting was found only in individuals with DLB. In another recent report, the same group detected a trend towards higher cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) 5G4 α-synuclein levels in four out of seven patients affected by α-synucleinopathies [7]. We tested the same 5G4-Ab for the first time in a large series of living patients (PATHO-Kit, Analytic Jena Roboscreen GmbH, Leipzig, Germany). The study evaluated serum 5G4 and total α-synuclein levels (MONO-kit, same company) in patients with a diagnosis of PD [n= 130, 31 with dementia (PDD)] and DLB (n= 36) according to current clinical criteria (Supplementary material). In the serum, mean 5G4 α-synuclein levels were similar in PD, DLB and healthy controls (n= 101)(Table 1). Total α-synuclein levels were lower in DLB compared to controls (p= 0.001), while the total/5G4-α-synuclein ratio was similar in all groups. Separate analysis of outliers did not show relevant associations between the marker and demographic, clinical and neurochemical routine parameters (Supplementary Table 1). The only remarkable finding was an earlier age atDespite the great advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in α-synucleinopathies, translational research is still looking for a reliable in vivo biomarker. As an important step forward in this field, Kovacs et al.[1] published in this Journal in 2012 the isolation of a new monoclonal antibody (5G4-Ab) specific for accumulated misfolded (but not physiological monomeric) α-synuclein, which was found after generation of α-synuclein aggregates by mice immunization. This antibody was tested in comparative immunohistochemical studies in brain tissue of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). 5G4-Ab showed higher sensitivity and specificity compared to available immunohistochemical assays.
