    摘要: The invention provides methods of monitoring amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) disease development or progression and monitoring an ALS therapy by determining the level of HLA-DR expression by CD14+ monocytes and/or the percentage of CD16+ cells in the population of CD14+ cells and/or the number of CD14+/CD16+ cells in peripheral blood of an individual with ALS. The invention is also directed to methods for decreasing the number of circulating CD14+ monocytes and/or the population of CD14+/CD16+ cells and/or the number of CD14+/CD16+ cells in an individual with ALS. The invention is also directed to methods of screening for agents which decrease the population of CD14+ monocytes with elevated HLA-DR expression and/or the population of CD14+/CD16+ cells and/or the number of CD14+/CD16+ cells in an individual with ALS.

    摘要: Methods for modulating proteasome activity in a subject is provided. Proteasome activity is modulated by administering a therapeutically effective amount of proteasome modulating pharmacological agent to a subject. In a preferred embodiment, the proteasome modulating pharmacological agent is a protease inhibitor. In another aspect, a screening assay for detecting and identifying proteasome modulating pharmacological agents to modulate proteasome activity in a subject is also provided.
