    摘要: Methods, compositions and systems are provided for diagnosing, stratifying, or monitoring the progression or regression of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the methods, compositions and systems comprise detecting in a sample a level of at least one AD biomarker, the AD biomarker comprising at least phosphorylated tau pT217, soluble tau oligomer, tau-amyloid-beta 1-42 complex, a fragment thereof or a combination thereof and comparing the level from the sample to a reference level of phosphorylated tau pT217, soluble tau oligomer, and/or tau-amyloid-beta 1-42 complex to diagnose or stratify or monitor the progression or regression of AD. In various embodiments, diagnostic assay and screening kits are provided. In various embodiments, the assay and kits provided can monitor the therapeutic effect of a drug and/or AD treatment. In various embodiments, the assay can be used to screen for drugs that disrupt the AD biomarker(s)

    摘要: Described herein are compositions and methods for identifying cellular factors involved in protein agglomeration. One such factor is a nucleic acid component. Another factor is a cellular binding factor. The nucleic acid components, and methods of using them, to interact with agglomeration proteins are also disclosed herein. The nucleic acid compositions herein comprise one or more DNA or RNA molecules having affinity for at least one agglomeration protein. The nucleic acid component is a naturally or non-naturally occurring molecule with twenty or more ribonucleotide bases. For RNA, at least one nucleotide sequence portion of this RNA molecule has affinity to at least one consensus sequence present in the agglomeration RNA-binding protein. Methods disclosed herein are directed towards detecting the presence of one or more agglomeration proteins in a sample matrix using the amplibody compositions described herein. Also described herein is an in vitro system (“TRIPARTITE”), which utilizes a NA and a non-NA chaperone to analyze the amyloid disease progression and test drugs potentially useful in combating such diseases. Also described are in vivo, transgenic animal models for analyzing amyloid diseases and agents potentially useful in combating those diseases.
