Figure 4. Auto-antibodies to α-syn are higher in males than females.

Figure 4

Males had significantly higher CSF levels of α-syn AAbs (0.664 ± 0.51) than females (0.497 ± 0.40) (t143 = 2.12, p = 0.035). Similarly, levels of AAbs were higher in serum in males (1.481 ± 0.74) than in females (1.114 ± 0.72) (t67 = 2.04, p = 0.046). CSF samples were diluted 1:5 and serum samples were diluted 1:500. Each data point depicts mean ± standard deviation of three samples per assay, each assay having three technical replicates (n=9 wells). Horizontal lines indicate group mean and standard deviations.
