Antibodies targeting trans-active response DNA-binding protein-43 (TDP-43)

Inventors followed an untargeted approach by screening a single chain variable fragment (scFv) library via phage display against recombinant human full-length wild-type (wt)TDP-43. They identified four wtTDP-43-specific scFv, two of which were retained following cellular expression and colocalization with TDP-43 in vitro. In silico binding site prediction on TDP-43 suggested the pathologically-relevant C-terminal and RRM1 domains as potential targets. One scFv diminished the amount of the insoluble 35-kDa C-terminal fragment of TDP-43 when the wildtype protein was overexpressed. Another scFv inhibited NF-κB activation associated with TDP-43 overexpression. Both scFv seemed to reverse some metabolic alterations caused by TDP-43 overexpression. Their findings offer two scFv molecules that bind wtTDP-43, alter its aggregation, and modify cellular pathways associated with TDP-43 proteinopathies. Accordingly, the present invention relates to scFv intrabodies targeting TDP-43 and their uses in diagnosis and treatment methods.
