    摘要: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) in the brain. Aβ is derived from amyloid precursor protein (APP) by β- and γ-secretases, with the β form (sAPPβ) being associated with the disease state, and the α form (sAPPα) being associated with the non-disease state. The present inventor proposes that defined the ratio of sAPPα to sAPPβ or the ratio of CTFα to CTFβ provide and accurate diagnosis of the disease, as well as a predictor for asymptomatic patients at risk of developing AD. In addition, drug screening and monitoring of treatment effectiveness can exploit this same sAPPα/sAPPβ or CTFα/CTFβ ratio.
