  • Patent number: 9084832
    Abstract: In an in vivo method for detecting ?-synuclein protofibrils in human tissue, an antibody or fragment thereof is administered to a human. The antibody or fragment is labelled with a detectable label. A complex formed between the antibody or fragment and ?-synuclein protofibrils in the human tissue is detected. The antibody or fragment has high affinity for human ?-synuclein protofibrils and low affinity for ?-synuclein monomers and has a combination of three specified variable heavy (VH) CDR sequences and three specified variable light (VL) CDR sequences.

  • Publication number: 20090010819
    Abstract: A flow path comprising a reaction cavity in which there is a solid phase to which an affinity reactant I1 has been immobilized by the use of an immobilizing pair of reactive structures that comprises a) a plurality of functional equal structures RSsp on the solid phase, and b) a structure RSari on affinity reactant I1, where RSsp and RSari are mutually reactive with each other to the formation of a link structure that immobilizes affinity reactant I1 to the solid phase. The characteristic feature is that the solid phase comprises a plurality of structures that derive from RSsp but do not immobilize affinity reactant I1 to the solid phase.
