amyloid-β, ELISA Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, LLOQ Lower limit of quantification

Note: Quanterix assay data show the maximum reduction of signal observed in I4O-MC-BACA and the assay’s maximum quantifiable percentage reduction limit for the Quanterix commercial assay. Prototype Simoa assay data show results for the same parameters when using the newly developed Simoa assay
