Circulating Antibodies to IDO/THO Pathway Metabolites in Alzheimer's Disease

Table 1

Significance ( ) of OD values (U Mann and Whitney -test) and percentage of AD positive patients on well plates coated with tryptophan-derivative conjugates. OD values for each tryptophan-derivative conjugate were subtracted from those on BSA well plates. Percentages were calculated as follows: number of patients with OD values above mean OD value of controls +2 standard deviations.
