    摘要: Tau protein has a causative role in Alzheimer's disease and multiple other neurodegenerative disorders exhibiting tau histopathology collectively termed tauopathies. The primary function of tau protein is to facilitate assembly and maintenance of microtubules in neuronal axons. In the disease process tau protein becomes modified, loses its affinity to microtubules and accumulates in the cell body where it forms aggregates. The large neurofibrillary tangles formed from tau protein assembled into filaments were thought to be the pathological structure of tau. However, more recent work indicates that smaller, soluble oligomeric forms of tau are best associated with neuron loss and memory impairment. Here, novel compositions of tau oligomers and novel mechanisms for tau oligomer nucleation, extension and termination are taught. Methods for producing and purifying these structures for the development of small molecule and immunotherapeutics as well as antibodies for biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases are taught.

    摘要: Amplibody compositions and methods used to interact with agglomeration proteins are disclosed herein. Compositions herein comprise one or more DNA or RNA molecules having affinity for at least one agglomeration protein. The nucleic acid component is a naturally or non-naturally occuring molecule with twenty or more ribonucleotide bases. For RNA, at least one nucleotide sequence portion of this RNA molecule has affinity to at least one consensus sequence present in the agglomeration RNA-binding protein. The portion of nucleotide sequence of RNA having affinity for agglomeration proteins is a sequence that is derived from either and RNA virus, and RNA agglomeration proteins is a sequence that is derived from either and RNA virus, an RNA phage, a messenger RNA (“mRNA”), a ribosomal RNA (“rRNA), a transfer RNA (“tRNA”), a sequence that is received as a template by one or more RNA dependent RNA polymerases, or a combination thereof. Methods disclosed herein are directed towards detecting the presence of one or more agglomeration proteins in a sample matrix using the amplibody compositions described herein.
