CA 2373507

The present invention provides nucleic acids encoding the Doppel ("Dpl") protein, Dpl peptides, and assays utilizing the Dpl nucleic acids and/or peptides. In related aspects the invention features expression vectors and host cells comprising nucleic acids that encode a human Dpl polypeptide. The present invention also relates to antibodies that bind specifically to a human Dpl polypeptide, methods for producing human Dpl polypeptides, methods for identifying cells expressing Dpl, methods for using the Dpl gene and the Dpl polypeptide to alter cellular function and prion infectivity in culture or <i>in vivo</i>, and identification of individuals at risk for prion disorders by detecting alteration in Dpl coding and regulatory sequences and Dpl expression levels.

La présente invention concerne des acides nucléiques codant pour la protéine Doppel ("Dpl"), des peptides de Dpl, ainsi que des techniques utilisant les acides nucléiques et/ou les peptides de Dpl. Dans certains de ses aspects, l'invention concerne des vecteurs d'expression et des cellules hôtes contenant des acides nucléiques qui codent pour un polypeptide Dpl humain. L'invention concerne également des anticorps qui se lient spécifiquement à un polypeptide Dpl humain, des procédés de production de polypeptides Dpl humains, des procédés d'identification de cellules exprimant Dpl, des procédés d'utilisation du gène Dpl et du polypeptide Dpl pour modifier la fonction cellulaire et l'infectiosité du prion en culture ou <i>in vivo</i>, et l'identification d'individus risquant de développer des affections dues au prion par la détection d'une modification des séquences de codage et de régulation de Dpl et des taux d'expression de Dpl.
