Abstract
Inert matrices for use with α-synuclein seed amplification assays (αS-SAAs) are provided. The inert matrices accurately reflect the absence of misfolded αS protein when used as a negative control, in the form of no, perceptively low, or delayed αS substrate self-aggregation, yet will readily permit aggregation of the αS substrate with seeds when used as a positive control. The inert matrices may be used to screen for αS-SAA reagent competence. The inert matrices may be used to dilute samples taken from peripheral biological matrices. Finally, the inert matrices may be used as a diluent for serial dilutions of αS-SAA samples, to enable semi-quantitative versions of αS-SAAs.
