Protofibrils of the 42 amino acids long amyloid-? peptide are transient pre-fibrillar intermediates in the process of peptide aggregation into amyloid plaques and are thought to play a critical role in the pathology of Alzheimer?s disease. Hence, there is a need for research reagents and potential diagnostic reagents for detection and imaging of such aggregates. Here we describe an in vitro selection of Affibody molecules that bind to protofibrils of A?42cc, which is a stable engineered mimic of wild type A?42 protofibrils. Several binders were identified that bind A?42cc protofibrils with low nanomolar affinities, and which also recognize wild type A?42 protofibrils. Dimeric head-to-tail fusion proteins with subnanomolar binding affinities, and very slow dissociation off-rates, were also constructed. A mapping of the chemical properties of the side chains onto the Affibody scaffold surface reveals three distinct adjacent surface areas of positively charged surface, nonpolar surface and a polar surface, which presumably match a corresponding surface epitope on the protofibrils. The results demonstrate that the engineered A?42cc is a suitable antigen for directed evolution of affinity reagents with specificity for wild type A?42 protofibrils.
