Immunogen/Epitope

immunogen = CLC-stabilized protofibril form of Aβ(1–40); epitope within Aβ(1–8); DAEFRHDS, at the N terminus

Specificity

The Fab fragments exhibit binding to Aβ monomers in the 20–40 nM range, and this binding is significantly impaired or eliminated in Aβ(1–40) mutants in which a single residue in the 3–7 segment is replaced with alanine. The full IgG molecules bind significantly better than Fab fragments to Aβ fibrils and protofibrils (0.1–0.2 nM); PFA1 binds more tightly to fibrils than does PFA2. diminished affinity for pyroglutamate-Glu forms of Aβ
