Question
What molecular shuttle strategy — transferrin receptor, LRP1, novel pH-responsive linkers, or engineered exosome vectors — achieves >1% brain penetrance for therapeutic antibodies while maintaining target specificity?
Anti-amyloid antibodies achieve only ~0.1% brain penetrance via passive diffusion, limiting efficacy. Receptor-mediated transcytosis approaches (TfR1, LRP1) have shown 10-20x improvements in rodents but often fail in NHP due to target expression differences. Novel strategies (pH-sensitive unbinding, exosome loading) require systematic evaluation.
