Abstract: |
A partially purified omega conotoxin binding protein is disclosed. The protein, either in partially purified form or in a synaptosomal preparation, is useful in identifying compounds for use in reducing neuronal damage related to an ischemic condition, such as stroke, in a human patient.

Claim |
It is claimed:
1. A method of screening compounds for use in reducing neuronal damage resulting from ischemic conditions in a human, comprising
- measuring the binding affinity of the compounds being screened by competitive displacement of omega conotoxin MVIIA from an isolated synaptosomal omega-conotoxin binding protein having a molecular weight of about 210 kilodaltons as measured by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and
- selecting a compound if its binding affinity to the binding protein is sufficient to produce a displacement of said omega conotoxin MVIIA, wherein said displacement is at least as great as that of an omega conotoxin selected form the group consisting of MVIIA, MVIIB, GVIA, GVIIA and RVIA omega conotoxins.
