Zusammenfassung:Disclosed is the use of a compound capable of binding to a crossbeta structure for the preparation of a medicament for diminishing unfolded proteins having adopted a partially structured conformation, involved in a conformational disease, wherein said compound is an antibody or comprises a finger domain, wherein said finger domain is derived from fibronectin, FXll or HGFa, and wherein said disease is a disease characterized by amyloid, atherosclerosis, diabetes, bleeding, thrombosis, cancer, sepsis, Multiple Sclerosis, auto-immune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, disease associated with loss of memory or Parkinson's disease and/or epilepsy.
