  • Patent number: 8609361
    Abstract: This invention corresponds to an in vitro method that employs an electrophysiology technique; in particular, an embodiment of the patch-clamp technique in its perforated type, which will allow us evaluating the neurotoxic capacity of protein structures associated to the generation of neurodegenerative diseases. It addition, it allows evaluating potential pharmacologic capacities of candidate molecules (drugs) in order to prevent, treat, or cure the said diseases. The invention involves the use of peptides that cause neurodegenerative diseases in order to form a spontaneous perforated recording that only occurs with peptides in the patch clamp glass pipette.
