摘要:
The present invention provides methods of inhibiting a tau protein such as h-tau42 or a biologically active fragment, derivative or analog thereof, methods of treating a disease caused by a tau protein such as h-tau42, and methods to identify agents that may inhibit a tau protein such as h-tau42. The methods for identifying an agent effective to inhibit a tau protein may feature administering an agent and observing either i) a reduction in biological activity of the tau protein or a biologically active fragment, derivative or analog thereof or ii) a reduction in phosphorylation of the tau protein or a biologically active fragment, derivative or analog thereof.
