Abstract
Disclosed herein are improved methods of processing, measuring, and detecting levels of ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) in blood samples taken from a human subject at time points within about 8 hours (or about 8 hours or less) after obtaining the sample from the subject. UCH-L1 is an early biomarker for traumatic brain injury (TBI), and there is a need for improved methods for assessing UCH-L1 in blood can aid in the diagnosis and evaluation of a human subject who has sustained or may have sustained a head injury.
