Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to methods and compositions (e.g., kits) for detecting anti-repeat-associated non-ATG (RAN) protein antibodies in a subject (e.g., a subject that has been administered a therapeutic anti-RAN protein antibody or a vaccine against a disease or disorder associated with RAN protein expression, translation, and/or accumulation, for example amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and/or frontotemporal dementia (FTD)). In some embodiments, methods described by the disclosure comprise detecting one or more anti-RAN protein antibodies in a biological sample obtained from a subject by an electrochemiluminescence-based immunoassay using one or more target di-amino acid repeat peptides. In some embodiments, the disclosure relates to kits comprising one or more di-amino acid repeat peptides and an electrochemiluminescence-based immunoassay plate and/or reagents.
