Specificity

Recognizes beta-amyloid 1-40/42. One of the most important and initial steps which causes loss of memory and cognition in Alzheimer′s Disease (AD) involves proteolytic cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP, chromosome 21) releasing short 40, 42 & 43 amino acid peptides (beta amyloid 1-40, 1-42 and 1-43). Polymerization of beta-amyloid and subsequent neuronal deposit (amyloid) leads to the degeneration of neurons involved in memory and cognition. The immunogen peptide shows homology with beta-amyloid 1-28 and beta-amyloid 12-28. No cross reactivity is observed with CGRP.

Immunogen

A synthetic beta-amyloid peptide 1-40 conjugated to BSA.

Application

Anti-Amyloid Antibody, β 1-40/42 is an antibody against Amyloid for use in ELISA, IH & WB.

Increasing evidence suggests that recurrent Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection spreading to the CNS is a risk factor for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) but the underlying mechanisms have not been fully elucidated yet. Here we demonstrate that in cultured

Memory impairments in Alzheimer's disease (AD) occur due to degenerated axons and disrupted neural networks. Since only limited recovery is possible after the destruction of neural networks, preventing axonal degeneration during the early stages of disease progression is necessary to
