  • Method of screening for compounds that can be used for the treatment of respiratory conditions
    Patent number: 8119362
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a screening method for identifying candidate molecules that can be used for the treatment of respiratory conditions in a mammal, wherein the screening method comprises a step which comprises determining whether the functional activity of a TASK-2 polypeptide in the presence of a test molecule is decreased or eliminated compared with the functional activity of the TASK-2 polypeptide in the absence of the test molecule, the test molecule being considered to be a candidate molecule when it decreases or eliminates the functional activity.
