Patent number: 7273964Abstract: A non-human transgenic animal that is transgenic for an antibody or fragments thereof and having a phenotype reminiscent of human pathology. The human pathology includes neurodegenerative syndromes, muscular atrophy/dystrophy and immune disorders. The animals may be used in a method for early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. The method includes monitoring the occurrence of the tau hyperphosphorylation and/or amyloid deposition in the back or lower limb skeletal muscle sample of a subject. Cells are derivable from the non-human transgenic animal and secreting the transgenic antibody. The cells are used for the selection of molecules pharmacologically effective in neurodegenerative and/or muscular pathologies and/or immune disorders.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2000Date of Patent: September 25, 2007Assignee: Scuola Internazionale Superiore Di Studi AvanzatiInventors: Antonino Cattaneo, Simona Capsoni, Francesca Ruberti
