STOCKHOLM, May 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ BioArctic AB (publ) (Nasdaq Stockholm: BIOA B) announced today that the Japanese Patent Office (JPO) has allowed the company s Japanese patent application 2017-083057 for novel antibodies that could be developed into a treatment for Alzheimer s disease. The antibodies target a shorter (truncated) form of amyloid beta (pE3-Aβ) and are linked to the company s project AD1503. BioArctic received a patent in Europe based on the same antibodies in January 2021.
The allowed patent application focuses on novel antibodies which target pE3-Aβ, a specific truncated form of amyloid beta. Monomers of pE3-Aβ are highly prone to aggregate, leading to the formation of harmful soluble Aβ aggregates (protofibrils) which could cause debilitating cognitive and other symptoms in Alzheimer s disease.
