ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to methods of screening for compounds that inhibit signal transduction by inflammatory cytokines. The methods include providing a sample that contains a TAK1 and a TAB1; contacting the sample with a compound; detecting binding between the TAK1 and the TAB1; and selecting the compound if binding between the TAK1 and TAB1 is inhibited in the sample compared to a control.
