Abstract:
Proteins are identified that exhibit an altered expression in mammalian cardiac tissue in response to A 3 agonist infusion. These proteins are termed A 3 receptor-mediated cardioprotective proteins (A 3 Ps) and protein isoforms (A 3 PIs) and are useful as pharmaceuticals and as targets in screening methods for identifying an agent capable of modulating the expression of one or more A 3 P and/or A 3 PI.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods and compositions for screening, diagnosis and prognosis of Alzheimer's disease, for monitoring the effectiveness of Alzheimer's disease treatment, and for drug development. Alzheimer's Disease-Associated Features (AFs), detectable by two-dimensional electrophoresis of cerebrospinal fluid, serum or plasma are described. The invention further provides Alzheimer's Disease-Associated Protein Isoforms (APIs) detectable in cerebrospinal fluid, serum or plasma, preparations comprising isolated APIs, antibodies immunospecific for APIs, pharmaceutical compositions, diagnostic and therapeutic methods, and kits comprising or based on the same.
