469 results about "Amyloidogenic Proteins" patented technology

Amyloidogenic proteins were found by surveying the literature and review articles.,, For proteins to be classified as amyloidogenic, they must have been found in amyloid deposits in vivo or have been shown to form amyloid fibrils experimentally in vitro, either in their entirety or as fragments.

Methods for aiding in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease by measuring amyloid- beta peptide (x->/=41)

This invention provides methods useful in aiding in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. The methods involve measuring the amount of amyloid- beta peptide (x-> / =41) in the cerebrospinal fluid of a patient. High levels of the peptide generally are inconsistent with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's. Low levels of the peptide are consistent with the disease and, with other tests, can provide a positive diagnosis.
