摘要:
Pathological modifications of the APP protein can be detected in a sample by use of markers consisting of catabolic and/or metabolic fragments of the carboxyl-terminal part of the APP (APP-Cter fragments) resulting from a neurodegenerative condition wherein the APP participates in the etiology. Methods for detecting such markers provide diagnostic and therapeutic applications in degenerative pathologies such as Alzheimer's Disease.
摘要:
The invention provides compositions and methods for prevention and treatment of diseases associated with β-amyloid formation and/or aggregation. Such methods encompass the induction of an immune response against N-terminal truncated and/or post-translationally modified Aβ peptides. These peptides are further used in compositions and methods for the diagnosis of diseases associated with β-amyloid formation and/or aggregation.
