  • Patent number: 9546403
    Abstract: Methods, kits and compositions drawn related to providing controls in diagnostic testing are provided. In one embodiment, a method of verifying proper function of a test for detecting and/or classifying a disease or disorder for which manifestation of a methylated gene is a biomarker is provided. The method includes performing a test for detecting, monitoring, or classifying a disease or disorder, or predisposition thereto, for which manifestation of a methylated gene is a biomarker and verifying proper function of the test by performing (e.g. duplicating or repeating) the test utilizing a control that originates from at least one pregnant female animal. The test includes determining the methylation status of at least one biomarker from a biological sample obtained from an animal subject and verifying proper function of the test by performing the test utilizing a control that originates from at least one pregnant female animal.

  • Patent number: 6653102
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the discovery of protein—protein interactions that are involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Thus, the present invention is directed to complexes of these proteins and/or their fragments, antibodies to the complexes, diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders (including diagnosis of a predisposition to and diagnosis of the existence of the disorder), drug screening for agents which modulate the interaction of proteins described herein, and identification of additional proteins in the pathway common to the proteins described herein.
