General description

Amyloid beta peptides have been implicated in the etiology of Alzheimer’s disease. Amyloid beta 40 is the most prominent peptide and Amyloid beta 42 is the neurotoxic form. The Amyloid beta 42/40-ratio (AB ratio) has been reported as a better indicator of the Alzheimer pathology. Millipore’s High Sensitivity Human Amyloid β40 ELISA kit is used for the measurement of Amyloid β40 in cerebrospinal fluid, cell culture supernatants, primary neurons and plasma in a 96-well format.

Specificity

The Amyloid β40 ELISA (HS) uses monoclonal anti-Aβ antibodies with high selectivity for human Aβ. The capture antibody recognizes the C-terminal end of Amyloid β1-40, which causes a high selectivity for Aβ 40. The cross-reactivity of the used antibodies to other Amyloid peptides was tested by ELISA and BIACORE and shows no significant cross-reactivity to Aβ1-38, Aβ1-39, Aβ1-42, Aβ1-43 and Aβ1-44.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder histologically characterized by amyloid-β (Aβ) protein accumulation and activation of associated microglia. Although these features are well described in the central nervous system, the process and consequences of Aβ accumulation in the enteric

Utilizing decision making biomarkers in drug development requires thorough assay validation. Special considerations need to be taken into account when monitoring biomarkers using immunoassays in the presence of therapeutic antibodies. We have developed robust and sensitive assays to assess target

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with age-associated central nervous system degeneration and dementia. This decline in the function correlates with deposition of Aβ peptide containing plaques and associated reactive gliosis. The inflammatory phenotype of microglia, in particular, is often considered

Dendritic simplification, a key feature of the neurodegenerative triad of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in addition to spine changes and neuron loss, occurs in a region-specific manner. However, it is unknown how changes in dendritic complexity are mediated and how they

Alzheimer's disease is regarded as a synaptopathy with a long presymptomatic phase. Soluble, oligomeric amyloid-β (Aβ) is thought to play a causative role in this disease, which eventually leads to cognitive decline. However, most animal studies have employed mice expressing
