    摘要: The disclosed invention relates to assays for detecting and quantifying A.beta. peptide, using solid supports that are coated with heavy metal cations, such as zinc (II) or copper (II) form of a nitriloacetic acid. Further, diagnostic kits are described which are used to carry out the assays of the present invention. An improvement in an assay for detection of A.beta. peptide is suggested which comprises forming a heavy metal cation/solid support complex. The preferred heavy metal cations for this improvement are zinc (II) or copper (II) form of a nitriloacetic acid. Finally, methods and kits for bulk purification of A.beta. peptides from biological fluids are taught.

    摘要: The invention relates to rapid methods for determining formation of A&bgr; amyloid and screening compounds which inhibit formation of A&bgr; amyloid in vitro, as well as kits for carrying out the present methods. Such an agent used in vivo may prevent, ameliorate or reverse the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and A&bgr; amyloidotic disorders related to Alzheimer's disease, Down's syndrome, and Guamanian amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/Parkinson's dementia complex. The process described in this invention involves the rapid induction of A&bgr; amyloid by a heavy metal cation capable of binding to a polypeptide comprising at least amino acids 6 to 28 of A&bgr;, such as zinc to form amyloid and determination of formation of tinctorial A&bgr; amyloid. Moreover, a method of determining effectiveness of a candidate anti-amyloidotic agent for prevention or treatment of A&bgr; amyloidosis is described which uses cell cultures which express at least a human A&bgr; peptide.

    摘要: The present invention provides screening methods for identifying compounds which induce tardive dyskinesia (TD) when administered to an animal. In particular, the methods involve assaying for intermediates and end products of reactions associated with candidate compound mediated reduction of reducible substrates. Also provided are high-throughput screening methods for determining whether compounds induce TD when administered to an animal. Further, provided are methods for treating psychoses comprising testing antipsychotic drugs to identify those which will not induce TD when administered to an animal and administering one or more such drugs to a patient in need thereof.
