Abstract
This invention provides methods of screening compounds for their ability to alter the production of Aβ(x≧41) alone or in combination with Aβ(x≦40). The methods involve administering compounds to cells, specifically measuring the amounts of Aβ(x≦40) and Aβ(x≧41) produced by the cells, and comparing these amounts to that produced by the cells without administration of the compounds.
