  • Patent number: 8613923
    Abstract: The present invention is related to methods and compositions for the therapeutic and diagnostic use in the treatment of diseases and disorders which are caused by or associated with amyloid or amyloid-like proteins including amyloidosis, a group of disorders and abnormalities associated with amyloid protein such as Alzheimer's disease. The present invention provides novel methods and compositions comprising highly specific and highly effective antibodies having the ability to specifically recognize and bind to specific epitopes from a range of ?-amyloid proteins. The antibodies enabled by the teaching of the present invention are particularly useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders which are caused by or associated with amyloid or amyloid-like proteins including amyloidosis, a group of diseases and disorders associated with amyloid plaque formation including secondary amyloidosis and age-related amyloidosis including, but not limited to, neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD).

  • Publication number: 20130287838
    Abstract: The method and constructs disclosed and claimed herein allow to control peptide conformation by modulation of the peptide lipidation pattern, spacer and liposome composition, or via co-administration with small molecules. Accordingly, this technology can be applied to the rational design of liposomal vaccines and for the generation of safer and more efficacious therapies for a range of human disease, in particular those based on misfolded proteins.
