Autoantibody-catalyzed hydrolysis of amyloid ß peptide

Autoantibody-catalyzed hydrolysis of amyloid ß peptide

We describe IgM class human autoantibodies that hydrolyze amyloid ß peptide 1-40 (Aß40). A monoclonal IgM from a patient with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia hydrolyzed Aß40 at the Lys-28 - Gly-29 bond and Lys-16 - Ala-17 bonds. The catalytic activity was inhibited stoichiometrically by an elec...
