The structural basis of monoclonal antibody Alz50's selectivity for Alzheimer's disease pathology.

The Journal of Biological Chemistry

Abstract

The epitope on tau protein recognized by the monoclonal antibody Alz50 was defined through internal deletion mutagenesis and quantified by affinity measurements. The epitope is discontinuous and requires both a previously identified N-terminal segment and the microtubule binding region for efficient binding of Alz50. The interaction between these regions is consistent with an intramolecular reaction mechanism, suggesting that Alz50 binding depends on the conformation of individual tau monomers. The results suggest that tau adopts a distinct conformation when polymerized into filaments and that this conformation is recognized selectively by Alz50.

Alzheimer's Disease: Tau & TDP-43

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease. This feed focuses on the underlying role of tau proteins and TAR DNA-binding protein 43, as well as other genetic factors, in Alzheimer's disease.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
