Scope and claims summary:

United States Patent 8579865, filed on January 22, 2010, and issued on December 12, 2013, pertains to the field of biotechnology, specifically the development of antibodies targeting amyloid-β (Aβ), a key amyloidogenic pathogenic protein associated with Alzheimer's disease. The patent, owned by Eli Lilly and Company, claims the production and use of novel human antibodies against Aβ.

Key Components:

The patent's key components revolve around the discovery and characterization of two human monoclonal antibodies, known as L9 and L13. These antibodies are designed to bind specifically to human Aβ and mitigate the pathogenic effects of this protein. The antibodies exhibit high affinity for Aβ(1-16), Aβ(17-28), and Aβ(1-40) peptides.

Scope and Claims:

The patent claims cover various aspects, including:

  1. Antibodies: Claims 1-13 describe novel human monoclonal antibodies and their sequences. These antibodies were generated through phage display technology and exhibit unique binding properties to Aβ.

  2. Pharmaceutical Compositions: Claims 14-36 detail the composition of the antibodies in conjunction with various carriers, adjuvants, or stabilizers. This broadly defines the potential pharmaceutical formulations for the antibodies.

  3. Diagnostic Methods: Claims 37-43 cover methods for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease or other conditions associated with the presence of Aβ by detecting these antibodies in patient samples.

  4. Treatment Methods: Claims 44-64 extend to methods of treatment involving administering the antibodies to individuals with Alzheimer's disease or other Aβ-related disorders.

Implications and Significance:

Patent 8579865 signifies a significant development in the pursuit of an effective therapeutic strategy for Alzheimer's disease. The antibodies described in the patent could potentially neutralize Aβ aggregates, which contribute to the progression and severity of the disease. As such, the patent has the potential to fuel the advancement of treatments targeting this critical aspect of Alzheimer's pathology.
