Abstract

A process for the selective binding of an aggregating abnormal form of a protein in the presence of the nonaggregating normal form of the protein, including contacting under selective binding conditions a material containing both the abnormal and normal forms with a binding agent which is a polyionic material having a binding avidity for the aggregating form of the protein as present in the sample.
