Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for detecting a brain injury in a subject by comparing the amount of ADAM10 protein in a blood sample from the subject to a reference standard or to the amount of ADAM10 in a blood sample from a control. An increase in the amount of ADAM10 in the subject blood sample relative to the reference standard or control is indicative of the subject having sustained a brain injury, in particular a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The present disclosure also provides novel antibody and antibody fragments that bind to ADAM10 at different positions.
