ABSTRACT:
This disclosure concerns a method of detecting the presence of a polypeptide in a sample wherein the polypeptide is encoded by a fragment of a nucleic acid molecule encoding an amyloid precursor mutein and the fragment comprises a sequence encoding at least one marker and a sequence encoding about 419 amino acid residues of the APP-695 isoform, about 475 amino acid residues of the APP-751 isoform or about 494 amino acid residues of the APP-770 isoform. The method encompasses contacting the sample with an antibody, which specifically binds the marker or the amyloid precursor mutein, under suitable conditions to favor the formation of an antibody-antigen complex and detecting the presence of any complex thus formed. The disclosure also deals with the method employing the above nucleic acid fragment wherein the amino acid residues from position 11 to position 28 are deleted from the portion of the sequence encoding the .beta.-amyloid protein domain and in which an alanine substitution at a phosphorylation site within the cytoplasmic domain of the amyloid precursor protein is encoded.
