Abstract

The invention relates to the treatment of blood, blood products and organs for the removal and/or detoxification of amyloid-beta oligomers.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for treating blood, a blood product and/or an organ in vitro or ex vivo, wherein the method comprises removing the blood, blood product and/or organ from a human or animal body and removing and/or detoxifying amyloid-beta oligomers from the removed blood, blood product and/or organ, and wherein the method comprises contacting the blood, blood product and/or organ with one or more compounds which comprise:
ptlhthnrrrrr (RD 2; SEQ ID NO: 66).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises examining the blood, blood product and/or organ for the presence of amyloid-beta oligomers prior to removing the blood, blood product and/or organ from the human or animal body.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more compounds are arranged as capture molecules on a support, via which a sample containing the blood, blood product and/or organ is passed.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the capture molecules are fixed onto beads.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the capture molecules are immobilized on nanomagnets.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the capture molecules are arranged in a dialysis system.

7. The method of claim 3 , wherein the support for the capture molecules is made of a biocompatible material.

8. The method of claim 3 , wherein the support for the capture molecules is selected from one or more of membranes, filters, filter sponges, beads, rods, cords, column, and hollow fibers.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein a kit is used for a selective quantification of A-beta aggregates and/or for treating (in vitro) blood, a blood product and/or an organ, the kit comprising one or more of:
a substrate made of glass which is coated with a hydrophobic material;
a standard;
a capture molecule;
a probe;
a substrate with capture molecule;
one or more solutions;
a buffer.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more compounds are passed as capture molecules ex vivo over and/or through an organ.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises removing amyloid-beta oligomers from blood, a blood product and/or an organ.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein Alzheimer's disease is treated.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises detoxifying amyloid-beta oligomers present in blood, a blood product and/or an organ.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein Alzheimer's disease is treated.
