  • Patent number: 11773185
    Abstract: In one aspect, antibodies that specifically bind to a human BACE1 protein are provided herein. In some embodiments, the antibodies contain modifications that reduce effector function, extend serum stability or serum half-life, or promote heterodimerization. In other aspects, bispecific antibodies and pharmaceutical compositions comprising antibodies that bind to human BACE1 protein are provided herein. Methods for inhibiting amyloid-? formation and/or aggregation, inhibiting amyloid plaque formation, and treating neurodegenerative diseases are also provided herein.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 6, 2020
    Date of Patent: October 3, 2023
    Assignee: Denali Therapeutics Inc.
    Inventors: Mark S. Dennis, Jennifer A. Getz, Rinkan Shukla, Adam P. Silverman, Yin Zhang, Joy Yu Zuchero
  • Publication number: 20230074436
    Abstract: In one aspect, antibodies that specifically bind to a human alpha-synuclein protein are provided. In some embodiments, an anti-alpha-synuclein antibody binds to monomeric human alpha-synuclein protein, oligomeric human alpha-synuclein protein, soluble human alpha-synuclein protein, human alpha-synuclein protein fibrils, and human alpha-synuclein protein that is phosphorylated at Ser129 (pSer129) with high affinity. In some embodiments, an anti-alpha-synuclein antibody can specifically bind to or immunodeplete alpha-synuclein protein. In some embodiments, an anti-alpha-synuclein antibody can prevent or inhibit alpha-synuclein seeding.

  • Patent number: 11370832
    Abstract: In one aspect, antibodies that specifically bind to a human Tau protein are provided. In some embodiments, an anti-Tau antibody recognizes an epitope within residues 111-125 of full-length human Tau, an epitope within residues 251-270 and/or residues 346-360 of full-length human Tau, or an epitope within residues 186-205 of full-length human Tau. In some embodiments, an anti-Tau antibody specifically binds to phosphorylated human Tau, unphosphorylated human Tau, and/or multiple splice isoforms of human Tau. An anti-Tau antibody disclosed herein may also include one or two modified Fc polypeptides.

  • Publication number: 20200277373
    Abstract: In one aspect, antibodies that specifically bind to a human triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) protein are provided. In some embodiments, the antibody increases levels of soluble TREM2 (sTREM2). In some embodiments, the antibody decreases levels of sTREM2. In some embodiments, the antibody enhances TREM2 activity. In some embodiments, the antibody inhibits TREM2 activity.
