Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to an assay for identifying compounds for the treatment of various diseases including those associated with excitotoxicity. The invention also relates to cell lines and constructs for use in an assay of the invention. The invention also relates to methods for determining whether a compound reduces excitotoxic signalling in a cell and whether a compound that inhibits binding of Tau to Fyn is likely to selectively reduce excitotoxic cell signalling. The invention also relates to a Tau protein adapted to form a detectable signal when the Tau protein is bound to a Fyn protein. The invention also relates to a Fyn protein adapted to form a detectable signal when the Fyn protein is bound to a Tau protein.
