  • Patent number: 9605042
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are isolated polypeptides, antibody preparations, treatment methods, diagnostic methods, and screening methods related to tauopathy. Generally, the isolated polypeptide includes a core pentapeptide, with the proviso that the isolated polypeptide is not a native full-length tau protein. Generally, the antibody preparations include antibody that specifically binds to SEQ ID NO:12. Generally, the treatment methods include administering to a subject a composition that includes the isolated polypeptide. Generally, the diagnostic methods includes contacting a sample from a subject with an antibody preparation that includes antibody that specifically binds to SEQ ID NO:12, and then detecting a ligand in the sample that specifically binds the antibody preparation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 23, 2015
    Date of Patent: March 28, 2017
    Assignee: Regents of the University of Minnesota

  • Patent number: 8180394
    Abstract: A wireless terminal in a wireless communication field is provided, which not only includes a top layer body and a bottom layer body, but also includes at least one extending layer body to provide an extending function. The extending layer body is connected in a stacked way to the top layer body or the bottom layer body. The extending function of the wireless terminal is realized through the extending layer body, so that the wireless terminal has powerful capabilities of extending and combining the functions.

  • Publication number: 20120004254
    Abstract: The invention discloses methods for screening a reagent for treating or preventing Alzheimer's disease or related neurological pathology. A method according to the invention includes the steps of: (a) activating a receptor and determining a first extent of endocytosis of the receptor, wherein the receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor that associates with presenilin-1; (b) activating the receptor under the same conditions as in step (a), in the presence of a candidate reagent, and determining a second extent of endocytosis of the receptor; (c) determining a difference between the first extent of endocytosis and the second extent of endocytosis; and (d) repeating steps (a)-(c), if the difference is less than a threshold.
