The present invention providesnovel methods and compositions comprising highly specific and highly effectiveantibodies having the ability to specifically recognize and bind to specificepitopes from a range of .beta.-amyloid proteins. The antibodies enabled bythe teaching of the present invention are particularly useful for thetreatment of diseases and disorders which are caused by or associated withamyloid or amyloid-like proteins including amyloidosis, a group of diseasesand disorders associated with amyloid plaque formation including secondaryamyloidosis and age-related amyloidosis including, but not limited to,neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD).
