Neurobiology of Disease publishes results of AFFiRiS' antibody mAB C6-17 in Huntington's

(MC Services AG) Monoclonal antibody mAB C6-17 targeting human/mutant huntingtin protein (HTT/mutHTT) was developed and characterized. In vitro assay for testing cell-to-cell transmission of mutHTT was established. For the first time, capability of antibody to block mutHTT transmission in vitro was demonstrated. Results support potential of AFFiRiS' antibody-based concept for a new therapeutic targeting circulating extracellular mutHTT.
