  • Prion protein ligands and methods of use
    Patent number: 9678085
    Abstract: Ligands that bind to prion proteins and methods for using the ligands for detecting or removing a prion protein from a sample, such as a biological fluid or an environmental sample. The ligands are capable of binding to one or more forms of prion protein including cellular prion protein (PrPc), infectious prion protein (PrPsc), and recombinant prion protein (PrPr). Prions from various species, including humans and hamsters, are bound by the ligands. Also provided is a method of treating or retarding the development of a prion-associated pathology in a subject.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 31, 2013
    Date of Patent: June 13, 2017
    Assignees: Pathogen Removal and Diagnostic Technologies Inc., North Carolina State University
    Inventors: David J. Hammond, Julia T. Lathrop, Larisa Cervenakova, Ruben G. Carbonell
