Poster summary
- Tau proteins aggregate into filaments in brain cells in Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders named tauopathies. We used fragments of camelid heavy-chain-only antibodies (VHHs or single domain antibody fragments) targeting Tau as immuno-modulators of its pathologic seeding. A VHH issued from the screen against Tau of a synthetic phage-display library of humanized VHHs was selected for its capacity to bind Tau microtubule-binding domain, composing the core of Tau fibrils. This VHH, named Z70, was efficient in inhibiting in vitro Tau fibrils assembly in heparin-induced assays. Expression of VHH Z70 in a cellular model of Tau seeding also decreased the fluorescence-reported signal. Finally, intracellular expression of VHH Z70 in the brain of an established tauopathy mouse seeding model demonstrated its capacity to mitigate accumulation of pathological Tau. VHH Z70, by targeting Tau inside brain neurons, provides a tool to explore the optimal strategies of immunotherapy in tauopathies.
