摘要:
The invention described in this disclosure involves a new composition of matter, amyloid beta-derived dementing ligands (ADDL's). ADDLs consist of amyloid β peptide assembled into soluble globular non-fibrillar oligomeric structures that are capable of activating specific cellular processes. The invention further encompasses methods for assaying the formation, presence, receptor protein binding and cellular activities of ADDLs. The invention further encompasses assay methods and inhibitor molecules for cellular signaling molecules activated by ADDLs. Also described are molecules that block proteins that promote the formation of ADDLs.
摘要:
The present invention provides amyloid β peptide assemblies composed of at least three amyloid β peptide subunits, wherein at least one of the amyloid β peptide subunits is an amyloid β peptide analog. The invention further relates to metal complexes of amyloid β peptide assemblies and the use of amyloid β peptide assemblies as vaccines and in the identification of agents that modulate assembly of the amyloid β peptide subunits.
摘要:
Printer (1) feeds paper or other media sheets (5) to pinch rollers (9a, 9b), which further feed the sheets into an imaging station (7). Pressure rollers (9b) are held by plate 22 which is biased by a spring (33) and pivots on extensions (37a, 37) to moves pressure rollers (9b) into nip relationship with nip roller (9a). To evenly distribute the forces across pressure rollers (9b), plate 22 is weakened by depressed lines (27a, 27b) located between the spring and the pressure rollers (9b).

Printer (1) has a pivotally mounted autocompensating system (19) mounted at an intermediate position in paper guide (17). That system (19) is driven by a motor (40) through a slip drive (70, 72, 74). The motor also drives paper feed system (15). When the motor turns in a direction to feed by system (15), the intermediate system is moved away from the paper guide. When a sheet reaches a position to be fed by the intermediate system, the motor is reversed, and the intermediate system pivots against the paper for moving it further through the paper guide.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are antibodies that bind with high specificity to soluble oligomers of amyloid β (Abeta) and methods of employing those antibodies. The antibodies are able to distinguish between Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and control human brain extracts. The antibodies identify endogenous Abeta oligomers in AD brain slices and also bind to Abeta oligomers on cultured hippocampal cells. The antibodies neutralize endogenous Abeta oligomers and Abeta oligomers produced in solution.
摘要:
The invention herein comprises antibodies that bind to amyloid beta-derived diffusible ligands (ADDLs). ADDLs comprise amyloid β protein assembled into soluble, globular, non-fibrillar, oligomeric structures capable of activating specific cellular processes.
摘要:
A media feeding apparatus includes a side wall, the side wall having a first side surface and an opposite side surface. A sheet picking mechanism has a pick arm and a pick roller. The pick arm is configured to mount the pick roller. The pick arm has a pivot axis substantially perpendicular to the side wall. A restraint is mounted to the pick arm, wherein at least the first side surface of the side wall is in close proximity to the restraint.
摘要:
An imaging apparatus includes a printing mechanism having a media path. A print media source is provided for supplying a sheet of print media to the printing mechanism. A drive unit is provided, with a drive shaft coupled to the drive unit. A media sensor device is mounted to the drive shaft, wherein as the drive shaft is rotated in a first direction the media sensor device is moved from a first position that is out of the media path to a second position that is in the media path for sensing the sheet of print media. As the drive shaft is rotated in a second direction opposite to the first direction the media sensor device is moved from the second position that is in the media path for sensing the sheet of print media to the first position that is out of the media path.
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.
