Abstract
Methods for identifying compounds that can be used for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, for monitoring the progression of these diseases, and for monitoring therapeutic intervention of these diseases are provided. These methods are effected by determining the relative amount of .alpha.-sAPP and the ratio of .alpha.-sAPP to total sAPP in body fluids, tissues or in cell culture.
