    摘要: Provided is a method for measuring the propensity of a patient to suffer progression of Alzheimer's disease that comprises, in either order: a) conducting a first immunoassay of a patient sample to determine the content (Tau-C′) of a C-terminal epitope present at the terminus of the amino acid sequence -SSTGSIDMVD (SEQ ID NO:1), and b) conducting a second immunoassay of the sample to determine the content (Tau-A′) of an N-terminal epitope present at the terminus of the amino acid sequence TPRGAAPPGQ- (SEQ ID NO:2), and c) calculating an index as a ratio Tau-A′/Tau-C′ between the second level and the first level. The method may be used to select patients for a clinical trial of an intervention in Alzheimer's disease or to evaluate a therapy.

    摘要: A method for screening for modulators of the secretion by an osteoclast of a wnt or a wnt signal enhancer comprises exposing osteoclasts in culture to a compound to be screened, exposing a wnt sensitive detection system to conditioned medium from said osteoclast culture, and determining whether a wnt signal is present in said medium by assaying for wnt mediated activation of bone formation by osteoblasts or by wnt mediated activation of LRP5 and or LPR6 signalling in a cell by detection of β catenin or detection of translocation of dishevelled, axin, or Fratl to the cell membrane of said cell.
