This invention relates to methods and compositions for the treatment or alleviation of Alzheimer's disease and of other conditions related to abnormal protein aggregation. In particular, the invention relates to methods and compositions for the immunotherapy of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and cataract. In one aspect the invention provides a method of prophylaxis, treatment or alleviation of a condition characterised by pathological aggregation and accumulation of a specific protein associated with oxidative damage and formation of tyrosine cross-links, comprising the step of immunizing a subject in need of such treatment with an immunizing- effective dose of one or more tyrosine cross-linked compounds, and optionally also comprising copper ions complexed to the compound. Alternatively passive immunization against a tyrosine cross-linked compound may be used. Prophylactic or therapeutic compositions and diagnostic methods are also disclosed and claimed.

La présente invention concerne des méthodes et des compositions de traitement ou d'atténuation de la maladie d'Alzheimer et d'autres états relatifs à l'agrégation anormale de protéines.
