Protective anti-prion antibodies in human immunoglobulin repertoires

2020-02-05

Abstract excerpt

Prion immunotherapy may hold great potential, but antibodies against certain PrP epitopes can be neurotoxic. Here we identified >6000 PrP-binding antibodies in a synthetic human Fab phage display library, 49 of which we characterized in detail. Antibodies directed against the flexible tail of PrP conferred neuroprotection against infectious prions. We then mined published repertoires of circulating B cells from he...
