Title: Assay for disease related conformation of a protein
Inventor: SAFAR JIRI G
IPC: G01N33/569
Filed: 1999-10-05
Abstract: Describes a method providing assay methods which use various combination treatments, enzymes and binding partners such as antibodies in order to detect the disease conformation of the protein. A first assay method of the method comprises treating a sample suspected of containing a protein which assumes a first conformation and a second, disease related conformation with a compound which hydrolyses the protein in the first conformation but not the second, disease related conformation of the protein thereby providing a treated sample. The treated sample is then contacted with a binding partner which binds the disease related conformation of the protein. When binding is detected such indicates the presence of the disease related conformation of the protein in the sample. The protein detected may be any protein with two or more conformations and is preferably a PrP protein, a TTR protein or an amyloid protein. When the protein is a PrP protein the compound which hydrolyses the first conformation of the PrP protein ( ie, PrP C ) is Dipase.
