ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method of diagnosing Alzheimer's disease in a human patient by measuring the amount of p33 present in a biological sample from a patient who may have Alzheimer's disease relative to the amount of p33 in a control sample from an unaffected human. Also included in the invention are diagnostic kits for Alzheimer's disease and methods of screening for effective therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease.
