ActiveUS20050198694A1Useful pharmacological activityBiocideNervous disorderGel electrophoresisC-terminus
The application identifies novel fragments of alpha-synuclein in patients with Lewy Body Disease (LBD) and transgenic animal models thereof. These diseases are characterized by aggregations of alpha-synuclein. The fragments have a truncated C-terminus relative to fill-length alpha-synuclein. Some fragments are characterized by a molecular weight of about 12 kDa as determined by SDS gel electrophoresis in tricine buffer and a truncation of at least ten contiguous amino acids from the C-terminus of natural alpha-synuclein. The site of cleavage preferably occurs after residue 117 and before residue 126 of natural alpha-synuclein. The identification of these novel fragments of alpha-synuclein has a number of application in for example, drug discovery, diagnostics, therapeutics, and transgenic animals.

Methods and kits for diagnosing neurodegenerative disease

Methods and diagnostic kits for determining whether a subject may develop a or for diagnosing a neurodegenerative disease. The method includes quantitating the amount of alpha-synuclein and total protein in a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sample obtained from the subject and calculating a ratio of alpha-synuclein to total protein content; comparing the ratio of alpha-synuclein to total protein content in the CSF sample with the alpha-synuclein to total protein content ratio in CSF samples obtained from healthy neurodegenerative disease-free subjects; and (c) determining from the comparison whether the subject has a likelihood to develop neurodegenerative disease or making a diagnosis of neurodegenerative disease in a subject. A difference in the ratio of alpha-synuclein to total protein content indicates that the subject has a likelihood to develop a neurodegenerative disease or has developed a neurodegenerative disease.
