Abstract
The present invention is directed to screening for an agent that inhibits mononuclear phagocyte-plaque component complex formation (hereinafter 'complex formation'). The methods include the steps of contacting a mononuclear phagocyte with a plaque component to stimulate complex formation and adding an agent suspected of inhibiting complex formation, measuring complex formation, and comparing complex formation to a measured control, wherein the reduction of complex formation compared to the control results in detection of an agent that inhibits complex formation. The mononuclear phagocytes may be from mammalian brain. The plaque component may be coupled to a solid support.
