We tested this concept in frontotemporal dementia with novel, unbiased tools that measure hundreds of soluble signaling proteins or characterize the vast immune cell repertoire in blood. With these tools we discovered complementary abnormalities indicative of abnormal T cell populations and autoimmunity in frontotemporal dementia.
