Abstract |
A variety of inflammatory conditions of unknown cause (meningoencephalomyelitis of unknown etiology-MUE) and neoplastic diseases can affect the central nervous system (CNS) of dogs. MUE can mimic intracranial neoplasia both clinically, radiologically and even in some cases, histologically. Serum immunosignature protein microarray assays have been used in humans to identify CNS diseases such as Alzheimer's and neoplasia, and in dogs, to detect lymphoma and its progression. This study evaluated the effectiveness of immunosignature profiles for distinguishing between three cohorts of dogs: healthy, intracranial neoplasia, and MUE. Using the learned peptide patterns for these three cohorts, classification prediction was evaluated for the same groups using a 10-fold cross validation methodology. Accuracy for classification was 100%, as well as 100% specific and 100% sensitive. This pilot study demonstrates that immunosignature profiles may help serve as a minimally invasive tool to distinguish between MUE and intracranial neoplasia in dogs. |
