  • Publication number: 20150238637
    Abstract: The invention features a method of identifying an agent and generating an antibody that can cross the blood brain barrier, through the use of novel antigen isoforms of transmembrane domain protein 30A (TMEM30A). This is useful in establishing mechanisms of transmigration across the blood-brain barrier. These antigens are enriched in brain endothelium compared to other endothelial cells and may have better selectivity and capacity for brain delivery compared to transferrin and insulin receptors. One antigen is TMEM30A.

  • Patent number: 8715659
    Abstract: A phage-displayed library of llama single heavy domain antibodies (sdAbs) was enriched for species that selectively bind to and are internalized by human cerebromicrovascular endothelial cells (HCEC). From the enriched library, two sdAbs were selected, sequenced, subcloned, and expressed as fusion proteins with c-myc-His5 tags (His5 is SEQ ID NO:101). Similarly as phage-displayed sdAbs, these soluble tagged sdAbs were shown to selectively bind to HCEC and to transmigrate across in vitro human blood-brain barrier (BBB) model. In contrast to an unrelated llama sdAb, these sdAbs were also detected in the brain after i.v. injection into mice. These small (˜13 kDa) antibody fragments have essential characteristics of brain-specific delivery vectors and can be used to facilitate drug transport across the BBB.
