Abstract excerpt
We previously showed that some antipurinergic receptor P2X4 antibodies cross react with misfolded forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-linked mutant Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1). Cross reactivity might be caused by abnormal exposure of an epitope in the inner hydrophobic region of SOD1 that shares structural homology with the P2X4-immunizing peptide. Here, we raised antibodies against the human SOD1...
