Inhibition of Transthyretin Fibrillogenesis Using a Conformation Specific Antibody

Immunoglobulin-mediated inhibition of amyloid fibril formation in vivo is a promising strategy for the treatment of protein misfolding diseases such as the amyloidoses. Here we focus on transthyretin amyloidoses, a group of protein conformation diseases caused by the misfolding of the serum protein...
