摘要:
The present invention relates to a monoclonal antibody which specifically binds to the N-terminal region of Aβ8-X peptide, x being comprised from 11 to 42, and recognises neither Aβ1-40 nor Aβ1-42 and which presents a high affinity with respect to Aβ8-X peptide, such as determined by an immunological complex formation between the monoclonal antibody and the peptide Aβ8-X.
摘要:
The invention provides compositions and methods for prevention and treatment of diseases associated with β-amyloid formation and/or aggregation. Such methods encompass the induction of an immune response against N-terminal truncated and/or post-translationally modified Aβ peptides. These peptides are further used in compositions and methods for the diagnosis of diseases associated with β-amyloid formation and/or aggregation.
