Abstract: The present invention comprises novel compositions and methods for eliciting high immune responses, of great specifity yielding conformationally sensitive antibodies. These antibodies recognize specific epitopes on a wide variety of antigens including but not limited to, amyloid protein, prion protein, P170 glycoprotein. The novel compositions of the invention comprise supramolecular antigenic constructs generally comprising a peptide sequence, covalently attached to pegylated lysine resulting in modified and enhanced peptide presentation. The unique modification methodology of the present invention is applicable to a variety of peptides and can ultimately be employed in therapeutic formulations and vaccines for diseases and disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract: The invention relates to an immunogenic composition which comprises, firstly, a carrier and, secondly, as antigenic structure, conjugates comprising all or part of the amino acid sequences of at least one peptide derived from an extracellular loop of the P-170 protein, each peptide being combined with several molecules of fatty acid containing a carbon chain of between C12 and C24 so as to allow, under suitable administration conditions, the induction of anti-P-170 antibodies.

Abstract: The present invention comprises novel compositions and methods for the treatment of neurological diseases associated with beta amyloid peptide. In particular, the present invention is directed to A? fiber solubilization, for the treatment of amyloid-associated diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, and is described herein as being achieved by using small molecules binding to A? fiber The present invention further comprises novel methods of designing and screening compositions for the treatment of neurological disease wherein the design aspect comprises the modeling of molecular scaffolds having optimal structural characteristics that enable the development of small molecule compositions of non-peptide nature having desirable solubilization effects on amyloid plaques. In one embodiment, the design of the compounds comprises a molecular structure with three chemical domains that include a melatonin-like domain, a nicotine-like domain and a peptide-like domain for binding to A?.
