CA 2636417

Disclosed are methods of identifying an agent that modulates an NFAT regulator protein. One such method comprises contacting at least one test agent with a recombinant cell comprising at least one NFAT regulator protein or fragment or derivative thereof, assessing the effect of the test agent on an activity, interaction, expression, or binding to the NFAT regulator protein or fragment or derivative thereof, and identifying the test agent that has an effect on an activity, interaction, expression, or binding to the NFAT regulator protein or fragment or derivative thereof, whereby the identified test agent is characterized as an agent that modulates an NFAT regulator protein. Methods of identifying an agent that modulates intracellular calcium, methods to screen for an agent that modulates NFAT regulator function, methods to diagnose unexplained immunodeficiency in a subject, and methods for identifying an agent for treating or preventing a disease or disorder associated with a NFAT regulator protein or calcium signaling are also disclosed.

L'invention porte sur des procédés d'identification d'un agent modulant la protéine régulatrice du NFAT. L'un de ces procédés consiste: à mettre en contact au moins un agent test avec une cellule de recombinaison comprenant une protéine régulatrice du NFAT ou l'un de ses fragments ou dérivés; à vérifier les effets de l'agent test sur l'activité, les interactions, l'expression ou la fixation de la protéine régulatrice du NFAT ou de l'un de ses fragments ou dérivés; et à identifier l'agent test ayant un effet sur l'activité, les interactions, l'expression ou la fixation de la protéine régulatrice du NFAT ou de l'un de ses fragments ou dérivés. L'invention porte également des procédés d'identification d'agents modulant le calcium intracellulaire; des procédés de criblage d'un agent modulant la fonction régulatrice de la protéine sur le NFAT; sur des procédés de diagnostic de l'immunodéficience non expliquée chez un sujet; et sur des procédés d'identification d'un agent de traitement ou prévention d'une maladie ou d'un trouble associé à la protéine régulatrice du NFAT, ou à la signalisation du calcium.
