Compositions and methods for alzheimer's disease

Abstract

The present invention concerns methods and compositions of use for treatment of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). In certain embodiments, the methods concern preparation of phage-display single chain antibody libraries and screening against amyloid-beta (Aβ) protein or peptide. Anti-Aβ antibodies are selected and sequenced. In certain embodiments, synthetic Aβ binding peptides are designed and prepared, using portions of the anti-Aβ antibody sequences. The antibodies and peptides are of use for treatment of AF or for treatment of individuals at risk of developing AD. Compositions comprising anti-Aβ antibodies or Aβ binding peptides are also disclosed.
