pT181-Qβ conjugation and treatment paradigm. a A 13-mer peptide, including phosphorylated epitope Threonine 181 (pT181), was synthesized with two glycines (G) and a cysteine (C) and conjugated to the surface-exposed lysine (K, in yellow) residues on the coat proteins of self-assembled Qß RNA bacteriophage VLPs (AB dimers in red, and CC dimers in blue), using SMPH. b An upward mobility shift on a 10% SDS gel indicates the number of peptides conjugated, per bound coat protein. c Non-Tg (n = 6) and rTg4510 (n = 17, separated into two different age- and sex-matched cohorts) were aged to 2 months, received three, bi-weekly intramuscular (im) injections of either: for NonTg: Qß (n = 2) or pT181-Qß (n = 6); for rTg4510: Qß (n = 8) or pT181-Qß (n = 9)
