The invention describes a method of diagnosing an individual as having an increased likelihood of having an autism spectrum disorder and in some instances, selecting a therapy. The invention is related to a system or a kit for performing such a method.

Compositions and methods for characterizing cancer cells by determining a marker of PGK1 activity. For example, methods are provided for predicting a patient response to a PGK1 inhibitor, a MEK/ERK inhibitor, an EGFR inhibitor, or a PIN1 inhibitor therapy. Methods for treating patients with such therapies are likewise provided.

The present invention relates to antibody-based probes (including single domain antibody fragment, scFv molecules, antibodies, antibody fragments, diabodies, and the epitope-binding domains thereof) that are capable of immunospecifically and selectively binding to a phospho-serine-containing epitope of Tau, such as, for example, Tau-phospho-serine 396/404 peptide. Such imaging ligands are useful to detect pathological Tau protein conformer if present in a biological sample, especially in conjunction with the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or other tauopathy, and thus provide a diagnostic for Alzheimer's disease and other Tau pathologies. The scFv molecules of the present invention have utility as diagnostic markers for, Alzheimer's disease and related tauopathies and as pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of such conditions.

This disclosure relates to the field of mass spectrometry analysis. In some embodiments, the disclosure relates to compositions and methods for detecting and quantifying proteins in the AKT-mTOR pathway by immunoprecipitation enrichment followed by mass spectrometry analysis.

The present disclosure provides methods to quantify tau phosphorylation at specific amino acid residues, using blood samples, to predict time to onset of mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease, stage Alzheimer's disease, guide treatment decisions, select subjects for clinical trials, and evaluate the clinical efficacy of certain therapeutic interventions.

Methods for determining the relative abundance of intact adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid components in a sample of recombinant AAV particles are disclosed. In embodiments, the methods include a system regeneration process that minimizes or eliminates the presence of ghost peaks to maximize analytical accuracy and ensure product quality and consistency.

This disclosure relates to the field of mass spectrometry analysis. In some embodiments, the disclosure relates to compositions and methods for detecting and quantifying proteins in the AKT-mTOR pathway by immunoprecipitation enrichment followed by mass spectrometry analysis.

Provided herein are compositions and methods for characterizing and treating cancer. In particular, provided herein are compositions and methods for treating cancer and identifying subjects for treatment with kinase and anti-angiogenesis inhibitors.

Described herein are agents that inhibit CBL autoinhibition, agents that activate CBL, SLAP and/or SLAP2 mimetics, and recombinant SLAP and/or SLAP2 or variants and/or fragments thereof that inhibit CBL autoinhibition. Also described are fusion proteins comprising these molecules as well as methods of inhibiting CBL autoinhibition and related uses thereof.

Aspects of the application relate to methods and systems for obtaining information regarding multiple amino acids in a polypeptide based on binding interactions between the polypeptide and one or more amino acid recognizers. Kinetic signature information may be obtained from a series of signal pulses indicative of a series of binding events between one or more amino acid recognizers and an amino acid of a polypeptide (e.g., a terminal amino acid, an internal amino acid). The kinetic signature information (e.g., pulse duration, interpulse duration, recognition segment (RS) duration, intersegment duration) may be used to determine one or more chemical characteristics (e.g., identity, modification) of multiple amino acids of the polypeptide.
