摘要:
Provided are methods of assessing the absence or presence of a neurodegenerative disease in a subject comprising characterizing TDP-43 in a tissue sample of the subject. Also disclosed are methods for diagnosing a neurodegenerative disease in a subject, and methods for determining the efficacy of a drug against a neurodegenerative disease. Novel antibodies that bind to TDP-43 are also provided.
摘要:
The invention concerns populations of homogenous, post-mitotic human NT2N neurons that are useful for generating animal systems for study of neuron function. Also disclosed are methods of preparing animals that are useful for study of neurological function. In these methods, differentiated NT2N cells are stably implanted into host rodent animals.
摘要:
Provided is an antibody that selectively binds to an epitope formed by residues 1-11 of Aβ in an Aβ oligomer, a method comprising using the antibody to treat a disease characterized by such an Aβ amyloid deposit in a patient, and kits comprising same.
摘要:
Methods of treating individuals suspected of suffering from diseases, conditions or disorders of the Central Nervous System including nerve damage are provided wherein stable, homogeneous post-mitotic human neurons are into the individual's brain or at or near a site of nerve damage. Pharmaceutical compositions of stable, homogeneous post-mitotic human neurons and a pharmaceutically acceptable medium are also disclosed. Methods of generating non-human animal models of human CNS diseases, conditions or disorders by implanting stable, homogeneous post-mitotic human neurons into the brain of a non-human animal are disclosed. Non-human animals eith stable, homogeneous post-mitotic human neurons implanted in their brain are also disclosed.
摘要:
The invention includes methods useful for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and the evaluation of enhanced levels of lipid peroxidation in a mammal. The methods utilize isoprostanes as sensitive and stable molecular markers for lipid peroxidation in a mammal. Methods of identifying compounds useful for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease or for reducing levels of lipid peroxidation in a mammal are also included. The invention also includes kits useful for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and for the evaluation of levels of lipid peroxidation in a mammal.
摘要:
Substantially purified antibodies, including substantially purified monoclonal antibodies, which are specifically reactive with .tau. that has an abnormally phosphorylated serine in the sequence LysSerProVal SEQ ID NO:3 are disclosed. Methods of screening persons for diseases associated with pair helical filaments, including Alzheimer's disease, by detection of .tau. that has an abnormally phosphorylated serine in the sequence LysSerProVal SEQ ID NO:3 in test samples taken from such persons and test kits useful to perform such methods are disclosed.

摘要:
A method of stabilizing microtubules which are destabilized due to insufficient levels of normal human tau protein is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of contacting a microtubule that is destablizing due to a deficiency in normal tau protein with an amount of taxol sufficient to stabilize microtubules.
