AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing antibodies have difficulty selectively binding to the fibrillary form of human α-synuclein, but they bind more strongly to monomers and may cross-react with other synuclein forms.

Method used

A monoclonal antibody, BAN0805, was developed, which contains specific heavy and light chain amino acid sequences and exhibits high affinity for α-synuclein fibrils and low affinity for α-synuclein monomers. Its selectivity was verified by surface plasmon resonance and inhibition ELISA assays.

Benefits of technology

BAN0805 significantly improves selectivity for α-synuclein fibrils, reduces the binding strength to monomers, remains stable under high temperature and freeze-thaw conditions, and does not cross-react with other synuclein forms.

Abstract

This disclosure is based in part on the discovery of antibodies that selectively target α-synuclein aggregates such as oligomers / fibrils, for example, BAN0805. Compared to the mouse monoclonal antibody mAb47, BAN0805 has a lower tendency to bind to undesirable monomeric α-synuclein targets.
