A Vaccine for Parkinson's - Developments in Immunotherapy

When misfolded, the protein alpha-synuclein becomes toxic to neurons and is a key pathological culprit in Parkinson’s. It is therefore an important target for disease-modification. Immunotherapy in Parkinson's attempts to use immune cells, and specifically the antibodies they generate, to target misfolded alpha-synuclein to inactivate it.
