Monoclonal antibodies raised against the N-terminal of Alzheimer's beta-amyloid peptide (beta AP) were found to modulate its fibrillar aggregation. While mAbs 6C6 and 10D5 inhibit the formation of beta-amyloid fibrils, trigger disaggregation and reversal to its non-toxic form, mAb 2H3 is devoid of these properties. MAb 2H3 binds the sequence DAEFRHD. corresponding to position 1-7 of the beta AP with high affmity (2 x 10(-9)M) similar to its binding with the whole beta AP. The EFRH peptide strongly inhibits binding of mAbs 6C6 and 10D5 to beta AP, whereas it inhibits weakly the interaction of 2H3 with beta AP. Low affinity binding of mAb 2H3 to EFRH might explain its failure in prevention of beta-amyloid formation. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
