Abstract: Disclosed are methods of proteolytically converting a precursor protein (e.g. tau) to a product fragment (e.g. a 12 kd fragment) in a stable cell line, wherein the precursor protein is associated with a disease state in which the precursor protein aggregates pathologically (e.g. a tauopathy), and the methods comprise:(a) providing a stable cell line transfected with nucleic acid encoding: (i) a template fragment of the precursor protein such that the template fragment is constitutively expressed in the cell at a level which is not toxic to the cell; and (ii) the precursor protein, which protein is inducibly expressed in the cell in response to a stimulus, whereby interaction of the template fragment with the precursor protein causes a conformational change in the precursor protein such as to cause aggregation and proteolytic processing of the precursor protein to the product fragment. The method is preferably used to screen for modulators of the aggregation process by monitoring production (or modulation of production) of the product band or bands. Also provided are materials for used in the assays, plus medicaments, and related uses and processes, based on compounds which show high activity in the assay of the invention e.g. reduced diaminophenothiazines.

Abstract: A current folding cell has current inputs and current outputs. Input currents are transferred from one current path to another and finally leading to the current outputs to establish a continuous folding characteristic. The signal current through one of the current paths often does not need to be substantially zero around the folding point in the folding characteristic. Comparator outputs in the cell provide digital outputs corresponding to the currents at the current inputs. An A/D converter can be constructed utilizing such current folding circuit cells in cascade and/or in parallel. The well-determined relationship between folder outputs can be used in a feedback loop to reduce or eliminate mismatch contributions. A mixer can be constructed using such current folding cells.

Abstract: The present invention, takes advantage of the properties of quadrature signals to achieve precise quadrature alignment in a simple fashion. The expectation of the product of quadrature signals is zero. A phase error detection network therefore operates by multiplying the received quadrature signals and low-pass filtering the product to produce an error signal. When the signals are in precise quadrature relationship, the error signal will be zero. Real-time feedback control may be used to drive the error to zero. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a variable phase shift network is achieved using a dual delay line. The difference in delay between the two delay lines is adjusted in response to the error signal to obtain precise quadrature alignment. The principles of the invention may be applied in connection with traditional mixer architectures or with switch-mode architectures.
