Barbara Tate on Smuggling Antibodies to BACE Across the Blood-Brain Barrier
COMMENT This pair of papers describes the efficacy of an antibody approach to inhibiting BACE1 activity, as well as an ingenious method for getting higher concentrations of therapeutic antibody into the brain. Passive immunization with a highly specific antibody
Dave Morgan on Smuggling Antibodies to BACE Across the Blood-Brain Barrier
COMMENT Here is my quick reaction to these intriguing papers, without the benefit of having had time to fully consider their impact. BACE1 is an intracellular target. This raises a level of challenge for antibody action beyond the blood-brain barrier, though it i

Takeshi Iwatsubo on Smuggling Antibodies to BACE Across the Blood-Brain Barrier
COMMENT Reading the two excellent papers from Genentech, I was quite impressed by their elegant approach to raise anti-BACE1 antibodies that reduce Aβ production in vivo in brain. They further engineered the anti-BACE1 antibody by coupling it with a low-affinity

Smuggling Antibodies to BACE Across the Blood-Brain Barrier
RESEARCH NEWS 2011-05-27 Research News The tight barrier between brain and blood vessels guards the brain from harm, but it also frustrates scientists trying to deliver therapeutic molecules to the central nervous system (CNS). In the May 25 Science Translational Medicine, resear

RESEARCH NEWS 2011-05-27 Research News In the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease, misshapen neurons clog with organelles—ironically, the very ones in the autophagic-lysosomal system that normally help cells dispose of damaged organelles and protein waste. This abnormality
