摘要:
The present invention provides synthetic β-secretase peptide substrates useful in various assays for measuring β-secretase activity. Antibodies that recognize the synthetic substrates and uses of the antibodies in various assays are disclosed. The herein disclosed peptide substrates are hydrolyzed at rates substantially faster than the attendant Swedish mutant APP from which the substrate sequences are derived.
摘要:
The present invention relates to antibodies that differentially recognize multi-dimensional conformations of Aβ-derived diffusible ligands, also known as ADDLs. The antibodies of the invention can distinguish between Alzheimer's Disease and control human brain extracts and are useful in methods of detecting ADDLs and diagnosing Alzheimer's Disease. The present antibodies also block binding of ADDLs to neurons, assembly of ADDLs, and tau phosphorylation and are there useful in methods for the preventing and treating diseases associated with soluble oligomers of amyloid β 1-42.

摘要:
Provided are methods of identifying inhibitors of β-secretase that employ modified β-secretase substrates. The modified β-secretase substrates have β-secretase cleavage sites that are altered from wild type. The amino acid sequences of the altered β-secretase cleavage sites contain different amino acids in at least one of the positions P2-P1-P1′-P2′ of the β-secretase cleavage site. Many of the modified β-secretase substrates are more efficient substrates for β-secretase than are corresponding substrates having wild-type sequences, that is, these modified substrates are more susceptible to enzymatic breakdown by β-secretase. Recombinant polynucleotide molecules encoding the modified β-secretase substrates are provided. Antibodies that recognize cleavage products of the modified β-secretase substrates are provided. Stable cell lines expressing the modified β-secretase substrates are provided. Transgenic animals expressing the modified β-secretase substrates are provided.
