  • Patent number: 9320793
    Abstract: This invention is a method and kit for treating a disease associated with, or resulting from, the accumulation of soluble oligomer amyloid beta 1-42 using an antibody, or antibody fragment thereof, that has a higher affinity for amyloid beta 1-42 oligomers than for amyloid beta 1-42 monomer, amyloid beta 1-40 monomer, plaques and amyloid beta fibrils and, optionally, a tau therapeutic or an inhibitor of amyloid beta production or aggregation.

  • Patent number: 9310383
    Abstract: This invention is a selective A? oligomer kit and immunoassay method capable of reliably and sensitively detecting A? oligomers in a biological sample of a patient. In one embodiment the inventive assay uses a pair of anti-A? oligomer antibodies, as capture and detection antibodies, to detect and quantify A? oligomers. The method can be used to differentiate Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients from non-AD patients and/or to stratify AD patients according to the severity of their disease.

  • Patent number: 9309309
    Abstract: The present invention relates to antibodies that bind amyloid ?-derived diffusible ligands, also known as ADDLs. The antibodies of the invention are selective for ADDLs, can penetrate the brain, and are useful in methods of detecting ADDLs and diagnosing Alzheimer's disease. The present antibodies also block binding of ADDLs to neurons, assembly of ADDLS, and tau phosphorylation and are there useful in methods for the preventing and treating diseases associated with ADDLs.
