The present invention provides amyloid β peptide assemblies composed of at least three amyloid β peptide subunits, wherein at least one of the amyloid β peptide subunits is an amyloid β peptide analog. The invention further relates to metal complexes of amyloid β peptide assemblies and the use of amyloid β peptide assemblies as vaccines and in the identification of agents that modulate assembly of the amyloid β peptide subunits. |
