New aptamer that specifically binds to human tau protein or its fragment, useful e.g. in vitro for isolating, purifying and/or detecting tau protein, and to treat cerebral infarction, pick disease and/or progressive supranuclear palsy

摘要

Aptamer that specifically binds to human tau protein or its fragment, is new. Independent claims are included for: (1) kit comprising the aptamer; (2) a method for the purification of human tau protein or its fragments comprising contacting a sample containing human tau protein or its fragments with the aptamer and separating the obtained complex of aptamer and bound tau protein or its fragments from the remaining sample; and (3) a method for detection of human tau protein or its fragments comprising contacting a sample to be tested with the aptamer and detecting a binding event between the aptamer and the human tau protein or its fragment. - ACTIVITY : Cerebroprotective; Vasotropic; Neuroprotective; Nootropic; Antiparkinsonian. - MECHANISM OF ACTION : None given.
