Applications of BBa_K1391109

This is fusion protein comprising Lyn and tobacco etch virus (TEV) protease, joined by a glycine-serine linker. This part is under an inducible TRE promoter that requires the presence of both the activator rtTA and the antibiotic Doxycycline for transcription to occur.

B-cell receptors (BCRs) are naturally occurring, transmembrane protein complexes that consist of a membrane-bound antibody (IgM) and some associated proteins (CD79A and CD79B). Given that the variable region of the antibody can be specific for any of a large number of antigens, we designed a B-cell receptor to bind beta-amyloid plaques (a biomolecular hallmark of Alzheimer's disease). Once bound, activated receptors instigate intracellular signalling, which can then be manipulated to diagnose the disease.
