Human single-chain Fv intrabodies counteract <i>in situ</i> huntingtin aggregation in cellular models of Huntington's disease
10 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
This investigation was pursued to test the use of intracellular antibodies (intrabodies) as a means of blocking the pathogenesis of Huntington's disease (HD). HD is characterized by abnormally elongated polyglutamine near the N terminus of the huntingtin protein, which induces pathological protein-protein interactions and aggregate formation by huntingtin or its exon 1-containing fragments. Selection from a large...
