20130084245 | PET MONITORING OF A-BETA-DIRECTED IMMUNOTHERAPY - The present invention provides methods of monitoring Aβ-directed immunotherapy. The methods involve administering a PET ligand that binds to amyloid deposits and detecting the PET ligand in the brain to provide an indication of the level and/or distribution of amyloid deposits.

In consequence, the present methods allow early detection of whether a patient is responding to the Aβ-directed immunotherapy and if necessary adjustment of the immunotherapy regime. | 04-04-2013 |

20120207706 | A-Beta Immunogenic Peptide Carrier Conjugates and Methods of Producing Same - The present invention is directed to methods of producing conjugates of Aβ peptide immunogens with protein/polypeptide carrier molecules, which are useful as immunogens, wherein peptide immunogens are conjugated to protein carriers via activated functional groups on amino acid residues of the carrier or of the optionally attached linker molecule, and wherein any unconjugated reactive functional groups on amino acid residues are inactivated via capping, thus retaining the immunological functionality of the carrier molecule, but reducing the propensity for undesirable reactions that could render the conjugate less safe or effective. Furthermore, the invention also relates to such immunogenic products and immunogenic compositions containing such immunogenic products made by such methods. | 08-16-2012 |
20120070379 | IMMUNOTHERAPY REGIMES DEPENDENT ON APOE STATUS - The invention provides methods of immunotherapy of Alzheimer's and similar diseases in which the regime administered to a patient depends on the ApoE genotype of the patient. | 03-22-2012 |
20110306756 | Prevention and Treatment of Amyloidogenic Disease - The invention provides compositions and methods for treatment of amyloidogenic diseases. Such methods entail administering an agent that induces a beneficial immune response against an amyloid deposit in the patient. The methods are particularly useful for prophylactic and therapeutic treatment of Alzheimer's disease. In such methods, a suitable agent is Aβ peptide, active fragments thereof or an antibody thereto. | 12-15-2011 |
20110287042 | A-Beta Immunogenic Peptide Carrier Conjugates and Methods of Producing Same - The present invention is directed to methods of producing conjugates of Aβ peptide immunogens with protein/polypeptide carrier molecules, which are useful as immunogens, wherein peptide immunogens are conjugated to protein carriers via activated functional groups on amino acid residues of the carrier or of the optionally attached linker molecule, and wherein any unconjugated reactive functional groups on amino acid residues are inactivated via capping, thus retaining the immunological functionality of the carrier molecule, but reducing the propensity for undesirable reactions that could render the conjugate less safe or effective. Furthermore, the invention also relates to such immunogenic products and immunogenic compositions containing such immunogenic products made by such methods. | 11-24-2011 |
20110229413 | TREATMENT OF AMYLOIDOGENIC DISEASES - The invention provides preferred dosage ranges, maximum concentrations, average concentrations and monitoring regimes for use in treatment of Alzheimer's disease using antibodies to Aβ.

20110160437 | METHODS OF PURIFYING ANTI A BETA ANTIBODIES - The present application provides methods of purifying Aβ binding proteins having a Fc region, for example, anti-Aβ antibodies or antibody fusions, by adsorbing the Aβ binding protein to a Fc binding agent, such as, for example, Protein A or Protein G, followed by a wash with a divalent cation salt buffer to remove impurities and subsequent recovery of the adsorbed Aβ binding protein. The present application also features methods of eluting the purified Aβ binding protein as well as the incorporation of the methods within a purification train. Kits comprising components for carrying out the methods and instructions for use are also provided. | 06-30-2011 |
