521 results about "Amyloid beta" patented technology

Amyloid beta (Aβ or Abeta) denotes peptides of 36–43 amino acids that are crucially involved in Alzheimer's disease as the main component of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. The peptides derive from the amyloid precursor protein (APP), which is cleaved by beta secretase and gamma secretase to yield Aβ. Aβ molecules can aggregate to form flexible soluble oligomers which may exist in several forms. It is now believed that certain misfolded oligomers (known as "seeds") can induce other Aβ molecules to also take the misfolded oligomeric form, leading to a chain reaction akin to a prion infection. The oligomers are toxic to nerve cells. The other protein implicated in Alzheimer's disease, tau protein, also forms such prion-like misfolded oligomers, and there is some evidence that misfolded Aβ can induce tau to misfold.

Anti-ADDL antibodies and uses thereof

The present invention relates to antibodies that differentially recognize multi-dimensional conformations of Aβ-derived diffusible ligands, also known as ADDLs. The antibodies of the invention can distinguish between Alzheimer's Disease and control human brain extracts and are useful in methods of detecting ADDLs and diagnosing Alzheimer's Disease. The present antibodies also block binding of ADDLs to neurons, assembly of ADDLS, and tau phosphorylation and are there useful in methods for the preventing and treating diseases associated with soluble oligomers of amyloid β1-42.

Method for treating amyloid disease

Disclosed herein are methods for treating amyloid disease in humans by clearing amyloid peptides from one or more bodily fluids such as, e.g., blood, of a patient. In particular, the methods are based on the administration capable of binding to amyloid-beta (Aβ) or on dialysis of blood or plasma exchange in order to remove Aβ peptides from the blood circulation, and / or brain or other affected organs.

Amyloid beta-protein 3(pE)-42 antibodies and uses thereof

AβN3pE-42 is a β amyloid protein that accumulates specifically as a major constituent of senile plaque in the brains of both sporadic and familial Alzheimer's disease patients. The invention provides antibodies that specifically recognize AβN3pE-42 and can be expected to have a strong β amyloid-removing action. Particularly, humanized antibodies against AβN3pE-42 are useful to treat human neurodegenerative diseases. Further, since AβN3pE-42 is localized in the brain, the antibodies of the invention can avoid side effects such as kidney disorders caused by the formation of antigen-antibody complex in the blood. An agent for gene therapy using a vector in which a cDNA encoding a protein comprises the antigen-binding region of the antibody can be an efficient therapeutic drug for removing β amyloid from the brain.
