General description

Amyloid fibrils are naturally occurring polypeptide scaffolds with considerable importance for human health and disease. A recombinant antibody domain fragment termed B10 specifically recognizes an amyloid-specific and conformationally defined epitope. The specificity and conformational specificity have been established by various methods, including, surface plasmon resonance, immunoblots, and immunohistochemistry. All these methods demonstrate that this antibody domain fragment distinguishes Aβ amyloid fibrils from disaggregated Aβ peptide as well as from specific Aβ oligomers. The antibody domain also possesses functional activity in preventing the formation of mature amyloid fibrils by stabilizing Aβ protofibrils, and recent data suggests that the B10 antibody fragment selectively binds to Alzheimer′s Aβ(1-40) amyloid fibrils and that fibril recognition depends on positively charged residues within the B10 antigen binding site. Mutation or alternation of specific residues changes B10's interactions with various fibril configurations, implying that the B10 conformational specificity for amyloid fibrils depends upon specific electrostatic interactions with an acidic moiety, which is common to different amyloid fibrils.
