Anti-tau conformational scFv MC1 antibody efficiently reduces pathological tau species in adult JNPL3 mice

Abstract Tau, the main component of the neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), is an attractive target for immunotherapy in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other tauopathies. MC1/Alz50 are currently the only antibodies targeting a disease-specific conformational modification of tau. Passive immunization exper...
