Abstract

See full text

A number of polypeptides exist in different three-dimensional conformations, or 'conformers,' which have different biological functions despite having the same or substantially the same primary polypeptide sequences. The existence of different polypeptide conformers underlies to a variety of disease states, which may be assessed using antibody that is specific for a given conformer. Thus, such antibody thus is useful for identifying or detecting certain conformers within a mixed population of conformers.
